All worn out with the monuments and churches of Rome? Need a place to unwind before taking the plane home? The children need something to do? Try one of the excellent restaurants at Lido di Ostia Roma. This area can be reached by public transit using the train from Pirimide Station, and then by bus or taxi.The one I have been to several times is La Marinella Restaurant which is open year round. They have a very good website at www.lamarinella.com which accurately reflects the facilities. These are relaxing and activity centres based on seaside fun. There is the beach with good quality grey sand, rides, umbrellas, pool, activities delightful gardens and of course the restaurant.At the restaurant, the food is good but not exceptional. There is emphasis on fish and seafood. The fish is very fresh and you choose the one you want cooked from the display. There is also a pizzeria at this restaurant and kiosks for ice cream and necessities. After the house appetizer, a salad and cervice of octopus, I had fish baked with potatoes and tomatoes. It was beautifully cooked.... flavourful and moist. However, the service at this restaurant was hurried and the filleting of the fish was far from expert, making for a rather messy presentation on the plate . The wine selection was quite adequate featuring local wines.This place makes for a great outing while in Rome. I really like it for the variety of activities, the beautiful grounds, and the restaurant which is good but not exciting. If you go, be aware that you are charged for everything and every activity separately. The restaurant of course, but also parking, beach umbrellas and tables, cabins ... so costs can add up. For other activities, check with the resort.

Went for dinner on a Thursday night. Not that busy but the service was attentive and really professional and yet friendly. We tried the crudo di frutti di mare and the degustazione di antipasti. Both really good platters of fresh seafood and we'll cooked fish combined with different ingredients. We had two pastas after. My was the special of the day. Two massive ravioli filled with cod and courgette flowers, simply fantastic. My girlfriend went for lobster tagliolini...can't go wrong with that! Overall amazing experience by the sea (literally 1metre away from the water)Dear Gianluca F,we are really happy to read this! Come back again for a really "on the sea" dinner!

Al PescatoreThe name of the restaurant says it all â Al Pescatore (âthe fishermenâ) located at the junction where the modern via dei Pescatore from Acilia (direction Rome) meets the Lungomare Duilio coastal road and a little more than a kilometre or so from the end of the Via Cristoforo Colombo. This is how you would get there by car should you be staying over in the city or camping, for example, 6-7 km away at Camping Fabulous on the Via di Malafadi just outside Vitinia. Coming from the city by the Porto S Paolo-Lido train line itâs only a five minute walk crossing the footbridge over the Canale dello Stagno from Castel Fusano station â the second from the end of the line. Travel around todayâs Ostia Lido and youâd be largely oblivious to the ancients who once lived hereabouts and the swamplands that dominated their living space. Post-Roman it was sand dunes that made up the âPiana Bellaâ. Today itâs mainly concreted-over, although the Castel Fusano urban forest park begins across the canal and stretches down the coast into the lands of the Presidentâs Palace. This is where the ancient Romans reputedly used to keep stocks of wild animals for the games in Rome.This, of course, is largely beyond the casual diner, and you canât even see the canal next door from your table; seating is inside and under an open plan plastic roof structure. Al Pescatore, however, is well worth the visit; a sort of Mecca for Roman fish cuisine in all its delightful tastes. Of a week-end the place is heaving with local people who drive out for the occasion. Mid-week it can be dominated by the sea sporting fraternity training nearby â men and women both â in their youth, vigour and vitality.Weâve been coming here for, well, almost 20 years after some friends held their wedding party in the restaurant. Itâs the sort of place for that special meal with family or friends. Mid-week and there were three of us for dinner and the restaurant was less than half full. We shared our primi piatti (two portions) insalade di mari and alici fritte (fried anchovies) that you eat whole â which, with fresh bread, was more than sufficient as a light meal; this was followed by pasta dishes â vongole (x1) and vongole & fungi porcini (x2). Given the quantity of pasta that remained on the plates; we should have chosen half portions, but thatâs the issue with ordering and enjoying primi. A carafe of the restaurantâs white wine complemented the meal. Sit down charges, bread and wine and the five plates cost E66 for the three of us â so a little more than E20/each. Service was quick â faster, it seemed, than we were able to order; we just couldnât make up our minds.Peter SteeleRome

La Bussola, Via Attilio Profumo, Ostia Antica, RomeLa Bussola has been our favourite local restaurant in Ostia Antica for many years now â service, quality foods and friendliness have always been key features. Weâve enjoyed eating here - as we did this time round apart from an issue with the bill (more below). There were three of us sharing a table, and we had booked ahead to ensure that weâd have a table outside. Well, the holiday month was starting (August remember) and there are more people taking in the restaurants â when daytime temperatures are climbing into the mid-30s degC and the alternative may be an apartment with residual heat; eating at a restaurant with air/con of an evening has its attractions.That said, we chose to forgo the air/con and to sit outside under the covered but open-front area. We took a table at the back where there was once a wall with a door through into the garden. This has subsequently been opened up â and enables a cooling breeze to flow through. One downside of this is the occasional mosquito/bite. And too, being âoutsideâ this is where the smokers dine. There were four tables occupied nearby.Weâd originally had visions of the fish dishes that weâd eaten before but, instead, opted for that most traditional of local dishes â pizza. And, given that we figured some finger food and, later, a walk around the medieval borgo of Ostia Antica for a gelato each, we opted for âBabyâ pizze â one third smaller than normal (and more suited to that smaller appetite).The restaurant offered a galaxy of choices on a red or white base â standards but, you name it, they will also make one to your own preferences. Between the three of us we chose: 1. Wurstel/sausage, onions & rucola, 2. Funghi & rucola, and 3. Quattro formaggi. Whilst these were being prepared we shared a handful of olives allâascolani, and a bottle of aqua frizzante. Service from the cameriere was good â he was attentive with lots of friendly jokes â practised his English too. The pizze were delicious.The only downside to the table/meal came when we went to pay the bill; and were charged the usual â¬7 (or thereabouts) for full-size pizze - â¬21 for the three pizze. Typically, Baby pizze are a couple of euros less. When asked about this the padrone said that pizze were the same price irrespective of size. The fact that we were stranieri, that he had not realized that we had eaten baby pizze and that he had already made the bill out probably had nothing to do with it. Hmmm. Sure, thereâs only â¬6 or so difference, and we left it at that â but it was a sad little reflection upon a less than sympathetic padrone.Peter SteeleAugust 2017
