Gusto GLAM

Lively in that great Italian way...fun staff ... great primi and amazing tiramisu which cannot be foregone no matter what ...

Went a couple of years ago and it was good, but now it has gone to new heights, food and service were excellent. Everything I had was great and I wish I had room for the dessert as they looked really nice.

From all the continents and Italian restaurants I’ve ever been to, I definitely had my best pizza in life here! “Taste Naples” was without any doubts the most magnificent pizza I have ever eaten. The white wine was dry, refreshing and truly added good taste value to it. I had to return and pick the same plates two days after. Hope to return one day!

Only one vegeterian main dish, but the staff tried to help. Finally we ordered 3 kind of pasta but they haven’t been cooked well. The leader who managed the payment with POS terminal was not polite at all.

With the premise that I grew up in this neighbourhood, a new eatery is in town. Ingredients are excellent - hopefully the place will improve even more. My boyfriend and I came here with a 50% discount with the TheFork, with 2 pasta, 1 main, 1 side dish, bottle of water and after discount we paid 57€ (114€ would have been steep as I rather had 114 for smaller more gourmet dish than for the quantity). Having said this and although it might seem expensive (the bill would have been double) the foods' portion were really way too much - but I'm getting ahead of myself. Location: right on the main square of Ostia where all the eateries are, the place is very quite during the day, especially at lunch. Ambiance: casual decor, mostly black and white placing with the tv on on MTV. Some might find it annoying but it's definitely a very casual place. Food: the portions are really huge. Having said this we both ordered the specials of the day which meant that we didn't have any oversight of the prices. > My linguine con vongole e bottarga felt it had double the amount of pasta that you usually get, the bottarga very generous although the clams were not that great. Some notes of over acidity which, when you make at home isn't there. (Pasta con le vongole is my favorite go to dish) > The linguine with the catch of the day with the cherry tomatoes that my partner had was absolutely amazing. The fish was incredibly fresh, and it's very unusual to use an entire fish to make one single sauce. It was priced at 25€ which is on the high side (usually it's the price for sauces with lobsters) but it was well worth it - again an easy dish that could be for two people. > With the premise that I kept on asking the staff to select a SMALL fish - just for taste it came out to be a 1kg of sole (sogliola/branzino) to much of my dismay, which one then does get the suspicious whether it was done on purpose (price is by weight). Yet: ingredients are fresh, the flavours are on the right spots. Service: very attentive and gracious. Wifi provided, you can also charge your phone. My advise is to come here when you're hungry or please confirm with the staff should you choose to go for the fresh catch of the day. It was definitely a surprise, one that we enjoyed, and the price/quality is there, the bill without discount would have been 114€ which I could argue that the food that was served could have very easily served 4 people (bringing the price to less than 30€). Would have enjoyed more if I knew ahead of time and ordered less but that's a minor detail.

Really delicious food! We ordered Bruschetta, Fried Zuchini and Spaghetti vongole, Carbonara and Ammatriciana as a takeaway. The portions are huge, I would suggest to share the pasta!

We got two pizzas at GLAM and both were very good and tasty. The prices were very reasonable and the service was swift. However, the staff does not speak English so communication can be a bit difficult.

Very hospitable owner. They increased the starter portion for free because we had larger company. We also got a free prosecco because our friend had a birthday. The meals were also delicious and at a normal price. As well as a nice location in the central square.
