Osteria Vino e Cucina

Valencia


This tiny restaurant serves authentic Italian food with a smile. The handwritten menu offers dishes made with ingredients sourced from Russafa market across the road, and the open kitchen serves perfect al dente pasta. Make the charming waitress’s day by ordering one of her homemade desserts. A sister restaurant, at Calle Pedro III el Grande, is a five-minute walk away.
