ristorazione — Gent · Fiandre
In the medieval heart of Ghent, among the canals of Flanders, Osteria Delicati brings authentic Italy to the table: products imported directly from the peninsula, a list of over one hundred wines, and fidelity to the historic concept of the osteria, born in ancient Rome.
Drabstraat 17: a door opening onto a piece of Italy in the center of Ghent. In 2024, Restaurant Guru awarded the Osteria the title of best Italian restaurant in the city, best service, and best tiramisù — recognitions that speak to the consistency of a project that makes no compromises with authenticity.
The dining room reflects a family-run management that turns every dinner into genuine hospitality. In summer, the inner courtyard opens for outdoor dining, bringing to this Flemish city a fragment of that Mediterranean conviviality that guests seek and recognize. Those who have lived in Ghent for years describe it as the reference point for rediscovering the flavors of home.
The kitchen works with ingredients selected with rigor: meats from the Umbria region, sheep's milk cheeses from Viterbo, Tuscan truffle paté, artisanal pasta rooted in centuries-old tradition. The menu counts twenty first courses — cacio e pepe, seafood, grilled vegetables — and offers the entire repertoire in a gluten-free version as well, without giving up anything.
Over one hundred Italian labels — from Brunello to Barolo, from Prosecco to Cannonau — complete a list that deserves to be explored in the page.
