Osteria Padella

Historically an Italian tavern, an Osteria provided traders and weary travellers with a cosy place to enjoy wholesome food and is a concept that Port Douglas restaurant Osteria Padella – A Laboratory of Rustic Italian Cuisine has adopted. Big tables and cushioned seats encourage groups of friends and family to pass around generous Italian share plates and to linger under a verandah as the sun sets over lush, tropical gardens across Wharf Street. Fresh food bursting with flavour is what Osteria Padella has to offer, prepared daily with the highest quality local and imported ingredients. Enjoy handmade pastas tossed with mostly organic meats and seasonally selected fresh seafood such as spaghetti con polipo with braised octopus, de-shelled clams, chilli, garlic, tomato and herb breadcrumbs.
