About two weeks ago, I had the pleasure of having lunch at the "La Bussola" restaurant in Ostia together with a dear friend who I hadn't seen for 11 years. The choice could not have been better: the location, overlooking the sea, is simply enchanting, perfect for enjoying a special evening.
The owner, Dario, is a charismatic figure who manages to transform the meal into an engaging and fun experience. The atmosphere you breathe is unique, warm and welcoming, an ideal mix between relaxation and entertainment.
From a culinary point of view, "La Bussola" stands out for the high quality of its dishes. We started with a starter of the day, fresh and well prepared, and then continued with a scampi cream risotto which was simply sensational: creamy, tasty and prepared with great attention to detail.
The staff is another strong point of the place: kind, prepared and always available, with a quick service that leaves nothing to chance.
Finally, the quality-price ratio is absolutely balanced, considering both the level of the cuisine and the beauty of the context. I can't wait to go back, perhaps this time with my boyfriend, to relive an equally memorable experience.
I highly recommend "La Bussola" to anyone looking for a place where good food goes perfectly with a pleasant and engaging atmosphere.

Quick lunch with my wife
It was a beautiful sunny day, we had lunch outside so we really appreciated the location.
The service was very friendly and well done, the table was well set and everything was clean.
The food was very good.
Spaghetti alle Vongole really good, one of the best Spaghetti alle Vongole I've eaten, the only thing is that the clams were really too small... it must be said though that they gave me a lot of them!
I must say that on many things it is a bit expensive as a place.

Place by the sea with a nice atmosphere but the pasta with clams we ordered was not cooked well and lacked salt - it tasted of nothing. Maybe because the restaurant was packed. But if you can't eat a good meal of clams at a seaside place, what's the point?

Il posto è sul mare, molto carino e si mangia bene, il mio punteggio è dato dalla scomodità delle sedute. Poi sarò difficile io, ma i cuscini dove poggiavo erano di altezze differenti e lunghezze diverse. Ho cambiato posto, ma anche il cuscino singolo era davvero scomodo.

Cena in coppia senza prenotazione, mi fanno accomodare e mi dicono che hanno il parcheggio privato (ero in moto). Ordiniamo una paella per due. Il servizio ha tempi adeguati (soprattutto vista la complessità del piatto) e le porzioni sono abbondantissime. Le materie prime sono di buona qualità, il pesce era fresco e la cottura giusta. Tutto sommato siamo stati molto bene e torneremo. Il locale è un tantino vetusto ma c’è l’aria condizionata e si sta tutto sommato bene. Prezzi allineati alla concorrenza quindi buoni.
