What to know

Good Salt Restaurant Group expands its local culinary footprint with Osteria Ester, a sixth concept that leans into the comforting rituals of Italian-American dining.

The result is a warm, convivial restaurant where simple ingredients and thoughtful technique meet family-style hospitality, filling a neighborhood need for hearty, shareable food in South Eola.
