Osteria is a restaurant in Lisbon at Rua das Madres 52, postcode 1200-710 Lisboa. The listing places it in the Santos neighbourhood, while other descriptions set it in the historic Madragoa and Estrela area. Its full name is Osteria Cucina di Amici, although it is commonly called simply Osteria, and the street number 52 is the address under which it is known. The restaurant opens for two services a day. Lunch runs from 12:30 to 15:00, and the evening service starts at 19:30 and continues until 02:00. The schedule covers Wednesday through Monday, which leaves Tuesday as the only day without listed opening hours. Both services are listed for each of those days. Anyone planning a meal here should note the long evening window, since it closes at two in the morning. The cooking is Italian and home-style. Descriptions of the menu say it focuses on comforting, homemade Italian classics, along with small sharing plates served in the Tris style. One source calls the place quaint and fiercely authentic, with an intimate neighbourhood feel, and another speaks of authentic, unpretentious comfort food. Both descriptions stress a neighbourhood character: one refers to a neighbourhood staple, the other to a neighbourhood vibe. It is described as a spot that suits casual dining, and people who visit include expats, locals and travellers. The restaurant is not centuries old. According to the descriptions, it has spent over a decade building a reputation as a neighbourhood staple, moving from a hidden local secret to a well-known name among diners. One description calls it a little restaurant that built its standing quietly. It lies outside the busy tourist areas of Baixa and Chiado, and one source calls it a beloved part of casual dining in Lisbon.
