Osteria Toscana Clapham is a family run Italian restaurant at 31 Abbeville Road. Founded by a family with roots in Umbria, it brings classic regional cooking, warm hospitality and a relaxed sense of occasion to the neighbourhood. The dining room works equally well for lunch, aperitivo, a quiet dinner or a longer meal shared with friends and family.
Starters include burrata with Parma ham and truffle, beef carpaccio with rocket and Parmesan, fried calamari, aubergine parmigiana and handmade meatballs in tomato sauce. Tuna tartare, seared scallops with truffle butter and prawns with shellfish bisque bring seafood into the opening courses. A lunch menu offers a shorter route through several of the restaurant's familiar dishes.
Pasta choices range from cacio e pepe and carbonara to tagliatelle with beef ragù, sausage and truffle paccheri, lobster linguine and ricotta and spinach ravioli. Risotto may feature porcini mushrooms, saffron and prawns, nduja with burrata or lobster. Whole sea bass, tuna steak, osso buco, lamb chops and Florentine steak extend the menu beyond pasta and rice.
Homemade tiramisu, panna cotta, torta della nonna, rum babà, affogato and a mixed dessert selection provide traditional finishes. The wine list travels through Italian regions with red, white, rosé and sparkling bottles chosen to accompany the food. Osteria Toscana combines polished presentation with the welcoming character of an independent Abbeville Road restaurant.
