Naples' First Osteria
Osteria Tulia brings the warmth and authenticity of an Italian osteria to downtown Naples. Chef/Owner Vincenzo Betulia has created a dining experience that feels like stepping into a rustic Italian farmhouse, complete with handmade pastas, house-cured meats, and an exceptional wine program.
The Experience
From the moment you enter, the open kitchen draws your attention—watch as pasta is rolled, meat is carved, and dishes are plated with precision. The atmosphere strikes the perfect balance between refined and relaxed, making it ideal for everything from a casual dinner to a special celebration.
What to Order
Start with the house-made burrata, drizzled with olive oil and served with crusty bread. For your main course, the handmade pappardelle with wild boar ragù is legendary, or opt for the perfectly cooked wood-fired branzino for a lighter option.
The bone-in ribeye (for two) is a showstopper, carved tableside and paired with seasonal vegetables.
Wine Program
With over 400 Italian wines on the list, Osteria Tulia has earned Wine Spectator's Award of Excellence. The knowledgeable sommeliers can guide you to the perfect pairing, from crisp Northern Italian whites to bold Tuscan reds.
