Needed a quick lunch after a longer car ride. Dropped into MAGA more of convenience of distance than evaluation of its offering. A very positive surprise of fresh produce, perfect preparation and pleasant presentation. So it was much more than a quick lunch. Highly recommended!

It was far too hot in Rome so I came to Ostia to enjoy the beach and fresh seafood. On my hunt I found this restaurant. The service was welcoming and the warm, every dish on the menu sounded brilliant. I had oysters and also octopus to start, both were fantastic, the oysters were fresh and presented beautifully & the octopus was perfectly cooked with an amazing red sauce with a hint of spice. For my main I had pistachio crusted tuna with honey, it was delicious and beautifully presented again. A 10/10 for food & service, I will definitely be back when I'm here next. I was served by Renato, who kindly explained the menu to me thoroughly and made me feel at home, I could not recommend this restaurant enough.

An absolutely wonderful restaurant! The seafood was incredibly fresh, and every dish — insalata di mare, polpo in tempura, tagliata di ricciola, frittura di calamari, tonno in crosta — was superb. Each bite felt thoughtfully prepared and perfectly executed. The staff was just great! I honestly can’t remember the last time I had a dining experience this memorable!

Had a wonderful, truly memorable meal here! We came for an aperitivo and stayed for dinner, and what a great decision! The staff was incredibly welcoming and friendly, the food was fabulous, and there was a fun and engaging neighborhood crowd on the patio- we felt like members of the family! Our waiter did an excellent job of explaining the menu, which they create daily based on the fish they buy that morning. It includes a variety of unique, local fish that we had never tried before (but were great) and some creative preparations, with really beautiful plating. Our favorites were the blue shrimp crudo, the scallop with beet purée and guanciale chips, and the tuna belly that was crusted in pistacchio and topped with spicy honey. It was amazing! If you are in Ostia or have some time around a flight, make a point to get off the beaten path and try this gem!
