Handmade pasta, wood-fired tradition, and decades of Italian craft — served in the heart of Boston's Back Bay.
Founded in 2006 by chef Marco Ferretti, Osteria Aurea was born from a simple belief: that authentic Italian cooking — made with imported ingredients and generational technique — deserves a permanent home in Boston. Every dish tells a story.
San Marzano tomatoes, 00 flour, aged Parmigiano-Reggiano — sourced directly from Italian producers.
Every pasta shape — tagliatelle, pappardelle, tortellini — is made fresh in our kitchen each morning.
Over 180 Italian labels curated by our in-house sommelier, spanning every region from Piedmont to Sicily.
From the warm glow of our candlelit dining room to the open kitchen where you can watch pasta being rolled — every visit to Osteria Aurea is designed to slow down and savor.
Host your next corporate dinner, milestone celebration, or intimate gathering in our exclusive wine cellar room.

"The tagliatelle al ragù was the single best pasta I've eaten outside of Bologna. Marco's kitchen is doing something truly special here in Boston."
"Hosted our 10th anniversary here in the wine cellar. The private dining team handled every detail perfectly. The Bistecca Fiorentina — unforgettable."
"The sommelier paired wines with each course and the knowledge was extraordinary. This isn't just dinner — it's an evening. Come hungry, leave happy."
