Ostia

"We have come here many times since they first opened in our neighborhood. The ambiance of the restaurant is great but note that it does tend to be pretty loud inside. The food has almost always been top notch and I really enjoy how the menu items rotate seasonally so you can always try something new. The biggest sticking point here is the inconsistency of service. Sometimes we come and have phenomenal service and other times (like this past weekend) we come and have ridiculously slow service. Our servers are always friendly but perhaps they are understaffed on some nights. On our most recent visit we split the butternut squash salad, mushroom gnocchi, pork shank confit and cauliflower. All of the dishes were delicious and came out hot, they just also happened to come out at an incredibly leisurely pace. I still enjoy this restaurant enough that the lack of consistent service doesn’t stop me from coming back, I just go into the experience knowing it will be a toss up."

"Mediocre at best, the food was okay, nothing extraordinary. I would suggest warming up the focaccia bread. Do not get the potato wedges, they were too crispy, borderline burnt. The lemon chicken was cooked well but lacked flavor. Also I ordered my steak medium rare and I got rare. The server was great though - gave the rest of our steak and chicken to my dog."

"Celebrated my birthday here with a lovely dinner. The ambiance was lovely. The atmosphere was calm and romantic. We sat at a table just outside of the patio. Heat lamps roaring, lightly dimmed lighting to set the mood. Out waitress was excellent at recommending dishes to try and we ended the night with ice cream topped with warm expresso. A night to remember!"

"Best restaurant I’ve ever eaten at!! 10/10 everything was so delicious and flavorful service was awesome for the size of the party. Very attentive and informative of the dishes. Pricey but sooo worth it!!! Will definitely be back!"

"Very excited to eat here. Solid reviews so I was excited to check it out. Thursday night, not busy. Seated quickly. The service was horrible. Took about 15 minutes for any server to acknowledge our table of four. Ordered everything. Another 15 minutes for drinks. They brought two drinks but not the others. More waiting. Food arrived. Burnt greasy pizza and one pasta was bland other pasta was too spicey, other item was a salad. It was okay.. Eventually the waitress came back and asked how our food was. I told her my pizza was burnt and showed her. She had no comment. Not I’m sorry can we make you another one, no I’ll remove it from your bill, literally no comment. Bad food, HORRIBLE service. No thanks. I’ll pass on this place, $150 for bad food and bad service. No thanks."
