Subtle Italian undertones span the menu here at Ostia. Charcuterie board had the perfect amount of cheese/meat/bread to go around. Loved the farm-to-table style food and indoor ambience. Hope to return soon.

I visited this restaurant after it had been recommended. Christian, who took my reservation, was very helpful and friendly.
Our server, Ashley, was extremely knowledgeable about the menu options and made some unregrettable recommendations for my fiancée and I. I was pretty excited when I saw that Ostia offers burrata. It wasn't at all bland like other places tend to serve it. Also, they have the coveted butcher's cut available: hangar steak! Perfectly cooked! Also can't forget the chefs special chicken. Pretty difficult to find a place that doesn't dry out their chicken breasts so hats off to the chef for the deliciously juicy chicken!!!
And they have my favorite dessert in the world: affogato. A shot of espresso over a scoop of vanilla bean gelato. Lastly, the panna cotta is a must try. Fresh fruit over a delicate layer of creamy awesomeness.
(Be sure to try their "crack potatoes" with garlic aioli)
Thank you, Ashley, for making this dinner one to remember.

We had a really nice time at OSTIA! The patio is very comfy and well decorated. We tried the gnocchi and it was very different from any other I've tried before, really good though. The orecchiette was delicious as well. We liked the chocolate mousse, not too sweet with a touch of salt. Our doggy had a good time as well and the staff was very friendly.

Great place. Waiter was one of the best he was attentive, friendly, and honestly impressive. I was most impressed when my dessert came out with a candle I asked my friends if they told him it was my birthday and they all said no to which he informed me that he saw the birthday cards. The meal itself was delicious. My only suggestion is the hostess, I understand not seating someone until all of your party arrives but if 3 out of the 4 are there and you're seating us at a 4 top why make us just stand there when we could have sat down and starting ordering drinks and starters.

Orecchiette is definitely cooked al dente. The texture is so perfect and seasoning is impeccable.
We also ordered Flounder and Hanger Steak which are also very good but not as impressive as orecchiette.
Waiter is very attentive all the time and very nice.
Open kitchen adds additional entertainment for customers.

This place is gorgeous! The outdoor patio is the perfect setting. The atmosphere creates a great date spot. The service was ok, not a lot of direction with the menu. Now the food, we had the octopus to start with. It had a very fishy taste, I didn’t care for it, but I saw a lot of other tables ordering it. We had the gnocchi and the hanger steak as entrees. The hanger steak was cooked to perfection and the peppers and onions made the dish. The gnocchi was good but the hanger steak was the star of the night. We called off the evening with a glass of port. I almost always have dessert and the port was a nice change to the night. I’ll go back as the menus changes. I highly recommend even if it’s only to stop at the bar for a cocktail.

Good food and very nice location. Maybe some improvement on the service. They allow dogs in the outside patio. Noise inside so patio can be a better experience until it becomes very hot and humid.

Went to Ostia for New Years Eve dinner and couldn't have been any happier with everything we experienced there.
The service was exceptional and the food was outstanding. We'll definitely be back often!

Bravissimo! Hearty portions and sophisticated flavors, relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. Attentive service is worthy of this fine dining experience. We enjoyed every last bite! Grazie! Even the gender-inclusive restrooms with private water closets off a main wash room is a nice added touch for todays dining experience.

Delicious, comforting food with thoughtful presentation. Roasted artichokes had a great char flavor, gnocchi was one of the best I’ve had in a restaurant, and the potato wedges are an essential side. The almond and cardamom gelato for dessert was refreshing. Topped it off with a carajillo that was well balanced and not too sweet. The service was good, but it seemed the servers were overworked with ours taking care of ~8 tables at once.
