AN OSTERIA (Italian pronunciation: [oste'ria]) IS AN ITALIAN -STYLE EATING ESTABLISHMENT, WHERE THE EMPHASIS IS GENERALLY PLACED ON MAINTAINING A STEADY CLIENTE RATHER THAN ON HAUTE CUISINE.
O S T E R I A
IN ITALIAN LITERALLY MEANS A PLACE, WHERE THE OWNER "HOSTS" PEOPLE.
FOOD IS GENERALLY REGIONAL AND PREPARED WITH LOCAL RECIPES, AND OFTEN SERVED AT SHARED TABLES.
THE TERM COMES FROM TAVERN "HOST",THE ANCIENT FRENCH HOST, HOSTESS, WHICH IN TURN DERIVES FROM THE LATIN HOSPITA (m). |
