“ Amazing food. Truly a hidden gem in Ostia. The service is also great, went far and beyond to accommodate our needs. Food is also available for takeaway, which is great. The place is situated by a road, but it's a very quiet one and the beach can be seen from the seats outside. Small but very much capable restaurant. Highly recommended! ”
