    What makes it fun

    Ostia is a Mediterranean-inspired haven that feels like a quick getaway to the Amalfi Coast—no passport required. The ambiance is pure romance: a chic yet cozy interior and a dreamy patio draped in greenery, perfect for a date with your sweetheart. The menu? A love letter to Mediterranean flavors, featuring wood-fired chicken, handmade pastas, and the must-try focaccia that’s worth every delicious carb.

    We had lunch at Ostia and they were excellent. The server was very attentive, and the food was fresh and flavorful. We will go back again to try other items on the menu. They all looked very delicious!

    The lamb gnocchi was one of the best dishes I've ever eaten. The flavor on the lamb was amazing. Goat cheese bruschetta good as well. Nice ambience in the greenhouse. Service was alright.

    The restaurant is lovely, having been seated in the Greenhouse section. It’s enclosed but feels like a patio because of all glass doors/windows allowing sunshine to pour in with lots of plants surrounding us. My girlfriends & I all enjoyed something different from the lunch menu. It appears the menu changes regularly with certain variations of their plates. However, I can appreciate that because the meals are fresh and prepared rich with flavors based on the ingredients chosen by the chefs on any given day. I had a pasta Aglio e olio - which by description included shrimp with a red chili sauce. Wow! I also tried a pizza my friend ordered - Pizza Bianca- which was quite impressive. Two other friends were also pleased their choices. I’ve included pictures in my review. Our waitress was friendly and exceptionally helpful explaining the specific options on the menu which was great because it was Italian fare we weren’t very familiar with. Afterwards, we shared chocolate cake with our cappuccinos. The restaurant offered a valet which simplified parking for all of us. Overall, everything was wonderful and we look forward to visiting again soon.

    Absolutely delicious! I’ve been here several times but tonight was the first for my husband. He is extremely picky! Happy to say he LOVED it. I was soo proud! When I say he is picky, I mean it! The service was incredible as always and the food was amazing. I highly recommend family style. You get to taste a little of everything!

    Really nice dinner at Ostia this evening. This was our first time visiting. We don't live in Texas anymore; Eater Houston highly recommended this place. We made reservations though they weren't necessary. And we parked quite far away she walked while valet parking had empty spaces.

    We had the focaccia bread and the octopus to start. Both were excellent, though the bread seemed a bit under salted. We asked for some salt, which they gladly delivered to the table. The bread was fantastic once we added a bit of salt.

    The Bucatini in tomato sauce was fantastic. Oh so rich and flavorful. The pork Milanese was fine but not worthy of a repeat order; it was crispy on the outside, moist on the inside, and seemed to be missing a sauce. The rusted cauliflower we shared and it was fantastic. Nothing was left on that plate!
