Our Story

Our Story

Opening our doors in Bath, we set out with a simple mission: to share the authentic flavours and warmth of Southern Italy through honest cooking, quality ingredients, and genuine hospitality.

“This is not just a restaurant; it is our tribute to the traditions, generosity, and joy that define Neapolitan culture.”

We look forward to welcoming you and sharing a slice of Naples in the heart of Bath.

Who We Are

Who We Are

Osteria Partenopea is the result of a shared dream, years of experience, and a deep love for Italian food and hospitality.

We are two chefs, Valeria and Costantino, who have spent our careers working in our family-run restaurants back home in Italy and here in Bath, dedicating ourselves to our craft and sharing our passion for authentic Italian cuisine with the local community.

Over the years, we gained valuable experience, built lasting relationships, and developed a vision of the restaurant we always dreamed of creating.

“If we put so much passion into helping build other restaurants, why not take a chance and open one of our own?”

From that long-held seed of an idea, Osteria Partenopea was born.

At Osteria Partenopea, we bring to your table what our grandparents taught us: respect for quality ingredients, the importance of sharing meals with family and friends, and the belief that food should be honest, generous and made with love.

We are proud to be a genuinely independent restaurant. As chef-owners, we are personally involved in every aspect of the restaurant, from creating the menu and preparing the food to welcoming our guests.

Hospitality is personal to us. We want every guest to feel at home and experience the warmth and generosity that lie at the heart of Italian culture.
