Ostro Italian

Such a lovely venue and very friendly staff. We love this venue near the beach and the staff are always really lovely. Unfortunately, the food really let the place down this visit. We have been before and it good, but this time most of it was not great. The fried squid was soggy. The chicken Caesar salad was terrible, with dried-out chicken, no egg, no anchovies, and dirty oil-favoured croutons. The steak salad was filled with dried-out old meat and had a total imbalance of lettuce, onion, and tomato. The steak main course was very average for the price. I only write this so they can improve because it is a great place and maybe we just got an off day.

The food was actually inedible. They collected our full plates of food and did not even acknowledge that we hadn’t eaten it. Waitress was lovely and took two drinks off our bill but we still paid for $100 of food we didn’t eat. Terrible. Will not return. Will tell everyone we know.

Well, that was the worst Italian we have ever had! My husbands meal looked like a plate of swamp with over cooked pasta. I couldn’t even finish mine, the salt level was insane!

Excellent service and food .great decor and intimate setting ………….

Amazing food. Service was great and friendly, will definitely eat here again

While the food was nice, the service was terrible, we ordered our entrees and one person didn't receive theirs until the others had finished, when we had asked the waitress where 4th entree was, it was brought out and it was cold, mains were then brought out straight away, the 4th entree had obviously just been sitting there, we ordered drinks with the meal and were not offered and firther drinks, coffee or dessert for the rest of the night! Won't be back!

Disappointing experience at Ostro.
We asked for focaccia and olives but were served charred bread instead (thankfully not charged for the price of focaccia). Requested no parsley in the spaghetti—it arrived full of it. The octopus dish, priced at $30, was meant to come with pumpkin purée, which was missing. When we asked, the purée arrived 10 minutes later in a separate bowl—by then the octopus was cold and eaten. We had to order more (non-complimentary) bread just to use it. The Negroni was weak and served with lemon instead of orange. Pasta dishes promised a generous amount of Parmesan—none was provided. We had to ask, and it only arrived after most of the food was already eaten. No apology offered. The prawn linguine came with just 3 prawn bodies and 4 floating tails. Although the waitresses were warm and friendly, the service overall was poor and lacked attention to detail—clearly let down by the kitchen. Would not return.

Friendly staff and fantastic food. Great value will continue coming back.

Great service and friendly, and we will eat there again

Wonderful service, delicious food, lovely drinks. We will be back. 😊🙏

The food is authentic Italian and the staff are amazing, we will be going back.

Service good and food fantastic could not fault anything great night out with friends

I live in Freo, and we just found this restaurant, and I think it’s the best Italian restaurant in the city. Hard to find and hard to leave.

Amazing !!! Great service, such friendly staff and amazing food !

Great food and friendly service - would come back again

There special pasta night Tuesday was delicious service was great

Pasta portion small but squid and chips was huge with too many chips. Loved that all the waiters were italian

Friendly, engaging and helpful staff. The food was exquisite and special requests were considered. All in all a very pleasant evening, we will be back 😊 Thank you

Seafood platter, pizza and focaccia were good. Unfortunately, veal scallopini was terrible, chicken parmigiana the chicken was burnt. The pasta dishes were just edible.

Great Italian restaurant, friendly staff and great food. Worth a visit

The most yummiest food and the sweetest waitress we have ever been served. Definitely coming back!!! enjoyed this place! 5 🌟

The service is exceptional. Fantastic food. Will be going back.

One of our absolute faves - a bit of a hidden gem. Service is always sensational as well as the food. Going back again in a couple of weeks. Has become our Go-to.

Good food great service friendly staff and will go back again

Good food, plenty of variety, good value for money, excellent service, great location. We'll come again soon.

Delicious food and wonderful service! Your staff are so lovely too.

Great service and delicious Italian cuisine. The wine recommendations were on point. Thank you for a fabulous meal and dining experience I. The heart of Fremantle @ Bathers Beach.

Over cooked pork dish Over seasoned Arancini Under seasoned steak Carbonara side should never have left the kitchen. Bruschetta Was tasty and an interesting take on the norm. Duo gelato was I’d say ice cream, not gelato maybe? Wait staff were jolly and pleasant, but lacking in English, which resulted in stuffing up the desert order, but was rectified swiftly. All about 30% over priced for what came out.

Great food, absolutely amazing staff and atmosphere. Would definitely go there agaim

Great deal on the cocktail/entree! Delicious desserts. Excellent friendly service

Very friendly and helpful staff. Great food, drinks, value for money and location.

Good food, nicely presented 👍 Lovely staff, enjoyable evening, recommend

Very friendly & attentive service the moment you enter the restaurant with delious and ample servings for your meals.

As a first-time diner, I wasn't disappointed. Lovely evening. Liked the sight of a freight train rumbling by. Wait staff were very accomplished and friendly. Will visit again and recommend to others. PS: However, the sight of a rodent trotting by outside was a little disconcerting to some other diners.

Brilliant food, fantastic location and lovely attentive and kind staff. Will be back there soon for sure!

Made a booking for Valentine's day this year and couldn't recommend Ostro's highly enough, We were given our choice of seating and the staff, food and restaurant were all amazing!

Amazing staff. Great food and overall dining experience. Well done.

Service was very slow & hair was found in the food It was disappointing

Fantastic Staff and service, further complimented by the great atmosphere, especially considering it was Valentine's Day

The wait staff were very friendly and attentive. Enjoyed the food, will be back.

Lovely afternoon with a big group. The team were very accommodating. Thank you, we will be back.

Forgot one of our meals, there was only2 of us ! The meal they bought out was terrible, mash was lumpy, broccolini was overcooked, chicken scallopini was an unusual color and plating atrocious

My wife's risotto was amazing. Very filling overall and excellent quality

These guys are awesome. Food was bellismo, service A1. Great atmosphere.

The food was not as good as the first time we dined here. The servers were pleasant, however it appeared the restaurant was understaffed which meant fairly long wait times.

Great food friendly staff overall great experience. Will be back

Great food and fantastic service. The staff were very helpful and lovely.

Nice atmosphere, great service. Food was tasty but on the smaller size for portions

Excellent food and service very attentive staff and great atmosphere

Took a while for drinks to come 20 minutes. Everybody thought food was great. The Saltimbocca Ala Romana needed more sauce and very dry.
