If good fortune brings you to Ostia, be sure to look for this inconspicuous but standing out of the ordinary little restaurant. A wonderful, warm atmosphere, most delicious dishes made with the ingredients sourced from local farms, a fantastic selection of local wines, an amazing array of local amaros, and of course the most extraordinary people who will host you -- all that makes this a truly remarkable place. I hope to be back again and again!
