About the restaurant

We love everything about restaurants. In particular, we love Italian. We love the food, the wine, the diversity, and the pride that Italians take in hosting a memorable experience.

We’ve spent our lives developing restaurants. From a simple deli or a laidback pub to award-winning fine dining, we have worked hard and are proud to present Autostrada Osteria.

It’s a place with a simple philosophy. Inspired by the casual osterie of Italy, the focus is on a simple menu where quality ingredients shine, regional wines that represent a place, and a room filled with warmth and bustle.

We hope you enjoy what we’ve poured our hearts into.

About the restaurant

The Café Brio, located in Victoria, has been a local favorite for twenty six years, serving up a rustic, Italian inspired menu. Focusing on regional products, Café Brio led by multi awarded Chef Sam Harris selects the highest quality ingredients from local sources to be used in authentic, creative dishes.

At Café Brio, everything is prepared in house. Pasta favorites include gnocchi with roasted leeks, parmesan cream and basil purée, Spaghettini with tomato, garlic, basil, olive oil and parmigiano and also our wild mushroom risotto. From the Sea enjoy seared scallops with peroxides, delicata squash, carmelo and bacon anchovy vinaigrette or our local fish feature. Lastly the Parry Bay Lamb feature from our friends out in Metchosin is an absolute must.

The wine list is extensive with input from multiple Sommeliers on staff always excited to share their new favourite bottle in our unique and cozy dining room.

Very sorry to see this place close after this weekend. Food is excellent and service is outstanding. The anchovy toast starter is to die for. The tuna confit linguine is exquisite, only to be surpassed by the scallop and wild mushroom risotto. If you have a chance, do go and see for yourself before it closes. You won't regret it. Bon appetite!

Lively atmosphere and friendly well timed service. The beef and lamb mains were beautifully cooked - served with colourful creative tastings to accompany. Try a fun cocktail or a bottle of Italian wine to go with:) Love the open plan of this restaurant. It’s a locals favorite!
