The menu was entirely in Italian and the wait staff couldn't translate (I couldn't use google because the WiFi was not working) i must visit if you are near by.

This morning, we decided to take a break from the city and go to Ostia beach…read more From the Porta S. Paolo Metro station (next to the Pyramid) in Testaccio, we took the FC2 train to Cristoforo Colombo station (the end of the line) to Lido di Ostia. Cost: EUR 6,00 for 2 people. After a 15 minute walk past numerous private beach clubs, we arrived at the V Lounge Beach. We were greeted by white polo uniform-dressed employees in front where they explained the lounge beach's offerings. For EUR 24,00 admission, we were assigned two beach chairs on the sand close to the water. Note: If you are *not* a "member" of the club, you will not be allowed access to the swimming pools. Unlike resorts in Mexico or the US, beach chair towels are not provided. So, bring your own or you can return to the front entrance and ask to rent towels, as we did. Cost: EUR 6,00 *and* they will hold your identification/passport as added security deposit. We did not eat at their restaurant, so it's hard to say if the food was good, but we did see that it was set up as a buffet. I did stop by the cantina by the beach for a fresh juice of carrots, apple, pineapple, and melon, which they kindly juiced fresh for me. (They do not have other green vegetables besides carrots, celery and fennel). Cost: EUR 3,00. The security person kept many of the beach vendors off the property and was kind enough to provide me with the Wi-Fi password. Overall, it was a nice day at the beach, but V Lounge seemed a bit pricey for the offerings and the service (aka friendliness) you might be accustomed to in other countries.

Love the restraunt!!!! The food is incredible and priced great. I will.definatley go there againread more

One of my excuses for my yearly trip to Rome: Alici at Cancello 2…read more No need to worry about the looks of this restaurant - somewhere in this "trailer" is a excellent kitchen, producing excellent local food at absolutely reasonable prices. They are honest enough not to sell local seafood during close season, which makes them authentic. Suggestion for all Rome visitors: rent a scooter, visit Cancello 2 and the surrounding free beach!

Bagni Vittoria (Italian for Beach Vittoria), on Lido di Ostia seashore, same as Victoria Beach Bar, a bar on the beach, offers lounging on the sand on recliner beds under the sun umbrellas, with a cocktail or a beer; or listen to the music while seating on the patio furniture on the deck... Relaxing suntanning or romantic evening with the music, it's your choice!

If Ostia town is crammed with well-crafted but pricey beach resorts, there's a superior option…read morewhich is actually free beyond the dunes of Castel Fusano. Eight gated beach areas, with free changing rooms and bathrooms, and the possibility to rent umbrellas and deckchairs, known as the Cancelli, comprise an ideal alternative. The eighth Cancello, known as Bud Beach, is by far my favourite. Boasting an extensive free beach area, this beach is ideal for groups of friends and families. Bring your own umbrella and towel and it's practically a free day out. Cancello 8 also has a charming bar area with swings round the edge (for adults!). The bathrooms are prrtty clean and the atmosphere is relaxed. When the sea's clean there's nowhere better to be.
