My wife ordered the grilled calamari as a starter and it was PERFECT. The owner of the restaurant was helping us and he showed me the fresh seafood that had just come in.

He offered to do a half portion for her. The food did not disappoint. The place is a bit rustic but the food and service was excellent. The entire bill was 80 euros, which we found very inexpensive for the food we ate and wine we drank.

We chose to eat at Povero Pesce, which seemed to get good reviews online, and especially on Yelp. We found out, as we tracked toward the location, that Povero Pesce no longer exists in Lido di Ostia, but has been replaced by Il Pesce di Ostia. No matter, still a fish-based menu, which is what we were looking for on the beach after a couple of weeks of going completely off our diets! We approached the restaurant and started questioning if it was inside the McDonalds next door, as we could see the M through the front patio window. Again, not to worry. This little place, a bit off the beaten path in Lido di Ostia, was a beautiful small sit-down restaurant of its own. Quaintly decorated of perhaps the Victorian era, the nice woman at the front of the house led us to a table. We were glad we got there at opening, as it the dining room was quite small, and by the time our meals were served, it was full. We like to find restaurants that haven't been "Americanized", and were rewarded here. They had an English menu, but nobody that we could find spoke English at all. Almost completely a fish menu, there was a daily special at each course. We had a bit of trouble understanding what these were because of the language barrier, but the server was very helpful, using her iPhone when necessary to show us the words :). This was one time that I felt self-conscious about not being able to speak their language a bit better (or at all), but they did not make us feel like we were imposing. We each ordered a starter, first course, and main, and each were very fresh and delectable. Mussels and calamari were prominent on the menu, and my husband and son loved every bite of the salads and pasta dishes containing these mollusks. I ordered sea bass for my main, and it was wonderful--moist, nicely roasted, with a lovely beurre blanc. The white wine was to my husband's liking, as well, and although the menu here was very small, they did seem to pay attention to providing fine local wine options. As usual, based on our experience in small Roman restaurants, dessert and espresso are always graciously offered. We found a different style of dessert in Lido di Ostia. Cheesecake and Tirimasu are always an option, but not what you expect. Each came in what I would consider to be a large bowl full of a creamy custard. The cheesecake offered a swirl of either chocolate or berries in syrup, with the graham crust sort of a chunk at the bottom of the bowl, covered with the creme anglais-type cheesecake. The Tirimasu was similar, with the lady fingers offered at the bottom of the bowl, and not soaked as a part of making the dish so that it was more like a crunchy crust rather than the moist layered cake-like experience I was expecting. While delicious (who doesn't love coffee or cheese-cake flavored cream?), they are definitely a shareable, unless you are ready to consume what must be an outrageous number of saturated fat calories! We had these similar desserts served at both the restaurants we sampled in Lido di Ostia. I mean, who isn't ready for a splurge when you are on your Italian vacay?

Where do I start??…read more I'll start with an O. Then an M. Then a G. Then a YUM! We are two adults and two kids (10 and 13 years old). We just drove in today after 3 days in Venice where we had really good food. We were tired and hungry and a quick Google search showed us this restaurant very close to our hotel. We didn't have reservations and we walked in just before a large birthday party and they accommodated us quickly and with a "prego!" It's a small restaurant but not too small, and a little loud which is fine because we could hear each other fine. We started with the mussels, which were excellent (and better than anything we've had in the States where we usually eat lots of mussels). The broth was tasty and the mussels just a bit small, but it served the 4 of us and we were left wanting a LOT more. For meals, my wife had scaciatielli with clams and shrimps, and I had spaghetti with clams. They were divine with a generous amount of seafood. My daughter had gnocchi alla' sorrentina and enjoyed it very much - she's a gnocchi connoisseur and said it was her favorite gnocchi ever. I stole a piece and have to agree. They were soft but not gummy with an excellent sauce and cheese. My son had the pizze bufalo, which was awesome with a little thicker crust than you get in Venice. For dessert (and you KNOW we got dessert) we had chocolate cheesecake and chocolate cake with coconut mousse. If you like coconut, the coconut mousse will blow you away! The cheesecake comes in a jar, deconstructed, but covered in chocolate sauce. We had to pry it out of my daughter's hands! Overall, we'll be in Cortona 3 days. We'll eat here all three days! Tutte buona!!!! Perfetto!

This restaurant was a lovely seafood restaurant, directed to us by our villa owner. I was very…read morepleased with it-- the fish were fresh, the service was outstanding, and the crowd of locals it brought in were fun. It is not a restaurant for the faint of heart, though-- expect full fish with heads, full octopi, etc. We started off with an octopus appetizer, which I loved. It was tasty, juicy, and the perfect texture. My first course was a clam pasta, in which I was given at least sixty little clams atop fresh, oily noodles. I have a feeling I'm not on Mulberry Street, anymore, Toto! I followed that up with a green peppercorn steak, which had a sauce so delightful that I ate every single peppercorn well after I had finished all of the meat! Post-meal, we were given iced wine drinks served in champagne glasses and homemade limoncello on the house. Service was friendly and quite accommodating. The weird thing is that they staggered our dishes one-by-one... But I think that was totally our fault, because we had tried to explain that we were sharing the octopus, but I think that was lost in translation and they thought that we were sharing EVERYTHING. It didn't matter-- vacations should have no time frame!!! Lighting inside was very bright, which was really odd, but it didn't detract from our experience at all. It's well worth the trip, especially if you are away from the sea but craving delicious seafood. I would go here again if I ever found myself in this region again.
