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!

We had the Diavolo pizza and the tiramisu. Everything was delicious. The waitress was so nice and we even traded a few recipes. The inside was crowded with locals and was a tad bit warm, so we opted for the outside seating. There were only a few other tables occupied outside when we arrived. When we left, the outside was pretty full as well. This was another delicious meal in Italy without a hefty price tag. Pizza, beer, water and dessert all for $22.50 (that includes the tip). Clever name and we loved the hospitality we received there.

Casual relaxed environment with a fun waiter with great sense of humor. We got my 76 year old dad to step out of his comfort zone and enjoy the seafood starter platter with us. I wish we would have asked for a dipping sauce, though so do. There was fresh tuna tartare, mussels, raw sea bass, and a variety of huge local shrimp. Also, ordered a caprese salad which was tasty. Shared a fish pasta for primo then local fish which was superb. We drank a few few bottles of lovely local white wine (25 Euros bottle). Will definitely return when near Rome. The manager of our hotel shared that people come specifically to the area to eat seafood and we agree!

They brought out our food together, even though we ordered at different times, which I really appreciated. I ordered the fish of the day and it was magnificent. My son ordered a calzone and said it was delicious. The house wine was available by the glass and I enjoyed it. HIghly recommend this restaurant!
