If you are ever looking for a great authentic Italian restaurant I would not hesitate to recommend Osteria Papavero. Located right off of the capitol it is a perfect walk for a date night with your significant other or a night out with friends. Walking in you will get a warm vibe from the contrast of bright walls and dimmed lights as well as beautiful black ceiling, I also love the plants that bring the outdoors indoors. There are so many unique decorations all around the restaurant from the mirrors to pots and wooden details you will really enjoy. The servers are all very polite and well educated on menu items and daily specials. I have gone to Osteria Papavero four times now and each time it has been incredible. Above is the Pasta con la N’duja which is paccheri pasta served with house cured n’duja sausage, tomato, garlic, and ricotta cheese. It is my boyfriend and I’s favorite dish because it is packed with flavor and spice, the portion may look small off of a glance, but it is always perfect accompanied by a glass of bruschetta to really get your taste buds ready for an explosion of flavors. I am looking forward to next time and hopefully then I will have enough room for dessert.
