So I read the reviews and it seems people either loved this place or hated it. First to address the…read moreconcerns about the waitress. She is not overly friendly like you would see in an American establishment. Here they don't give a fake impression of friendliness. To be fair though she is a little unemotional, but not terrible. She definitely warms up when you show that you respect the Italian way. That leads me to the complainer who tried to return food and exchange it for something else. That is so obnoxiously American. The Italians believe that they are the e Peet's on Italian food ( which they are) and when you try to exchange something they see the problem with you, they do not feel that they should eat the cost of your mistake, so rightly so, in this culture, they were not happy. You should be thrilled that they went along with your insulting request. I showed up here 30 minutes after they opened and there was no issue, in fact there were already people in the restaurant when I got here. As for the food. I ordered my favorite wine which only came by the bottle, so when I asked if I could take it back to my room, she actually cracked a smile. I had Calamari it was fresh and was delicious. She didn't like me not ordering all of my food at once so at some point she took the menu thinking I was done after the calamari. When I pulled out the yelp pictures and told her what I wanted she explained that the picture had tomatoes but traditionally this dish came with a white sauce. I chose the traditional. For dessert I had ricotta and pears. My meal was delicious and my service was pretty good. I think the key is to make an effort to say something in Italian.

It was a very seafood heavy menu, which was fine for me being a seafood lover. I could tell that everything from the food to the plating was incredibly well thought out and showed a true passion for food. Absolutely worth the Michelin star it received.

Incredible food. Incredible service. Incredible experience…read more Ambiance - classy minimalism. Food & service - art form. I can not encourage enough. The culinary highlight of our trip to Italy in March 2023.

The staff welcomed us in and we had a great table to take in the beautiful atmosphere here. Lots and lots of vines give this place "that" look. We had the fried appetizer sampler and also a seafood sampler. Both dishes were perfect for sharing and offered a good slice of local cuisine. Our very friendly waitress kept the wine coming. It was a great spot for losing track of time and waiting out a healthy Mediterranean storm.

If anything, for the atmosphere. I really love the interior dining area with all the hanging plants. It was quite lovely. We were greeted as we walked through the terrace to the entryway. I think it had just opened for lunch because there were only a few people seated. We had our pick of tables. The seating arrangement was comfortable. The service was good. It was a little detached, and that's okay. I like to have some interaction with the server, but that's not always possible when you're a tourist in a new place. We chose this restaurant more for the varied menu. Ostia is full of seafood, and my husband is more of a land lover. He ordered the Diavola from the Pinse & Roman Pizza side of the menu. I selected the Paccheri from the Pasta first course side. We shared an appetizer of Fritto Misto while waiting for the meal. We especially loved the fried ascolane olives & supplì (filled with rice, tomato sauce, and mozzarella). These were very tasty. The Paccheri sauce (carbonara) and seafood (mussels, clams, & octopus) was absolutely delicious. The pasta was a little too al dente for me. I think it's preferred that way in some regions. I forgot to ask them to cook it longer. It's a thicker pasta, so I didn't really know. My husband's pizza looked wonderful. He appeared to enjoy it. I'll let him write his own review. I would definitely revisit if ever in Lido di Ostia again. There were so many great options on the menu with affordable prices. It appears to be a popular restaurant. There weren't many seats left indoor or outdoor as we were leaving. The cooler weather in the month of May was perfect. It was a beautiful day!

It was a 35 euro per person rate, including wine, and worth twice as much . The estate is beautiful, an old farm style but modern and comfortable at the same time.
