    We ducked in here during a brutal rainstorm and after our sunny visit to Ostia Antica in November…read more2023. 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.

    This was a really cool find on the coast of Ostia. We decided to visit for lunch after our morning…read morewalk through the ruins of the ancient port. It was a great decision. 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!

Although we do find it interesting that our first meal in Italy was as a western themed place. Made us a little nervous about the quality of the food. Although it was a steakhouse. We were seated in the fort like interior, only one other couple were there. Placed our order, husband a steak, with salad and me a Pizza. As we wait the place started filling up, Mother's Day, there were mainly Italian families. Our meals arrived an we were pleasantly surprised. Husband's steak was prepared to perfection with a very fresh salad topping it. My pizza was large and tasty. We could easily share it between us. The service was great, young woman friendly and filled our needs. The pricing was very reasonable.

He did not bring a spoon for my spaghetti. Suddenly he came up to me half way through with a spoon, rudely yanks my fork out of my hand and proceeds to "show me how to eat my spaghetti" with the spoon even though he refused to give me a spoon from the start. We ordered bottled water which arrived in a used and dirty bottle with mold around the rim. The place was filthy dirty. My husband's steak was filled with stringy gristle and fat. The prices were ridiculous.
