Reviewing a VERY EXPENSIVE ITALIAN RESTAURANT!
I'm back in London today and in particular Knightsbridge which is home to one of the best Italian restaurants in the country known as Osteria Romana. Can you believe it's only the second time that I've reviewed Italian food on the channel? Lets give it a go!

I am of Italian descent, and I nearly wept as you dined. My Grandmother was a gifted cook, indeed a chef for wealthy Parisian family before WWII when she had to leave. Every dish was simply presented of the very best ingredients, exquisitely done with a deft hand. She did everything but desserts. We had fruit in season, ice cream in winter. Oh, but you brought back a flood of memories. Mille Grazia.

Gary is a legend, crap on TV nowadays, Gary is our saviour & making us all fat, haaaa, only joking Gal, 🎉xx
My wife of 49yrs is Italian and she is the best thing that as happened to me, Italian cooking is the best in my opinion, in the early 80s my wife took to me italy to visit her auntie's and uncles about an hour away from Naples in Campania,there had been an earthquake about 6 months previous and her auntie's house although just about safe to live in was in a right state with no running water gas or electricity and all cooking was done on a wood fired stove so we ate by candle light, that meal of ragout with rigatoni pasta was the tastiest meal ive ever had in my life they were such nice people and never moaned about the situation they were just happy to be alive, thats why i not only love my wife but also the Italian people, they keep food simple, even in this day and age i can give my missus a fiver and she would make a meal for the four of us, it would be simple but delicious and tasty, great video as normal Gary, its a 10 from me. Cheers mate..( by the way after a while they were rehoused in a modern flat)

I'm curious Gary, why not 10/10? You normally explain your score. I reckon, since I can never get there, I'm going to buy some oxtail and try making it, I'll never be as good as that chef (it was so nice of him/her to comment on your post) but hopefully, it'll be halfway decent!
Considering the location and the quality of the food, I wouldn't consider this meal to be expensive for a treat. Not one for everyday lunch, but for a celebration or to impress someone important, probably well worth it.

Another great review. I'm lucky enough to have Italian friends who live just outside Rome. The whole family lives in a 4 storey house with an apartment for each family on each floor. In the basement is the huge kitchen where Nona Alvira (sadly no longer with us) used to rule the roost. This restaurant reminded me of her cooking. One or two simple ingredients, but the best and well done. My husband and I drove to Rome via a lot of the Spanish regions. We were thinking of a gift to buy for the family. What's the best gift for Italians? Food, of course! So we bought regional foods and wines from every region we drove through, and made a hamper. Alvera's eyes were so wide when we gave the hamper to her. And do you know, something of everything we had bought was incorporated into every meal we had with them for our stay. It's the Italian way 😁❤

I have to say, it confuses me how people romanticise about the simplicity of Italian ingredients but criticise classic English dishes for being too simple or not having a good enough variety of seasonings. I love Italian food when it’s done right but I love English food too. To my mind they both have a similar ethos about letting the ingredients speak.

It reminded me of eating Italian home cooked food when I was in my teens, My best friend from school was Italian and his Granny used to do all the cooking.

I have eaten in quite a few Italian restaurants over the years but none ever matched her freshly sourced and made Italian food.

One of the advantages of Italian food is the simplicity; other cuisines seem daunting to home cooks but Italian less so.

Fantastic! Yes Gary, truly exquisite. Pork looked so delicate and delicious. Tiramisu is my favourite dessert and that one looked absolutely delicious. So creamy. Yum. Thanks for the video Gary.

My grandfather is Italian but my grandmother is English. I was born in England, Kent in 1985 and have always been brought up on Italian food. I've been to Italy many many times and love it there. Some Italian restaurants in England are good but to get the best experience you need to visit Italy. I love my British food though but I recommend everyone try Italian food. It's beautiful, delicious and up there with the best cuisines in the world.

well Gary i don't want to make you jaleous but i was a trucker who rode every week to Italy. There we unloaded en reloaded and did some deliveries befrore we drove back home. We always went to a little restaurant near parma where 'la mama' cooked and her husband served . Everything was fresh and the bread she baked herself. They even made their own Limoncello. The man himself had a very strange hobby, he went from farm to farm around Parma in search of the best ham he could buy and when he found a ham to his satisfaction he was so proud that he walked in his restaurant carrying the ham like a baby. After everybody praised him enouch he took his knife a made slices that were so thin you could see throu them. but omg what a taste! So now for the part to make you jaleous lol. we had all the Lambrusco or prosecco we wanted,as much bread as we wanted, frsh grated parmacheese,3 dishes and after the souper all the limoncello we could drink for 10 pound hahahahahahaha well that was an eleven out of ten ;)

One of the (many) strengths of Gary's channel is that he reviews every type of restaurant, cafe, fast food outlet, etc, on their own merit. He was as fair to Gregg's as he was to Osteria Romana. You can only reasonably compare high-end with high-end, mid-range with mid-range and budget with budget.

This restaurant, given the location, could've probably gotten away with charging more and, If anything, I was expecting it to be more expensive. (Hope the owners don't read this and decide to raise their prices.)
Gary, another great review, it looked amazing. It seemed to have nailed the whole ethos of Italian food, simple, high quality ingredients cooked with love and passion. When it is done as well as that Italian food is in my view the best in the world. I agree it wasn’t cheap but it looked good value to me considering the quality, many places charge more for much less.
