Ostia is one of our neighborhood restaurants and the food never disappoints. The roasted chicken is one of our favorites as are the pizzas. The cocktails are great as well.

My son and I took his mom for a nice Sunday Brunch, celebrating Mother’s Day … wow ! Everything was great! Loved tte octopus and calamari to start. The sword fish was fantastic, medium, and with the right seasoning, and the smell of a fire/wood just gave it the final touch.

Setting was nice with indoor and patio experience. Calamari App was on point. And recommend. Dinner dishes were ok and nothing special. Risotto was dry with an overwhelming mushroom flavor Gnocchi was drowned with lemon zest and too tart to finish. Desserts were great Service seemed overly RUSHED and more concerned with turning a table., as in I can take your entire order now We only drove 4 hours to meet our daughter who drove down from College Station Would not recommend Highly Disappointed

We had a wonderful experience at this restaurant. The service was excellent—attentive and welcoming from start to finish. Every dish we tried was delicious, and the dessert’s were truly exceptional—some of the best I’ve ever had. The wine list was impressive and reasonably priced; we especially enjoyed a lovely French Chablis. As a neighborhood spot, we feel lucky to have such a gem so close to home.
