Located in a brand new contemporary “shed” type building with an indoor-outdoor feel, ample patio, and exhibition cooking, Ostia has come onto Houston’s culinary scene and has created lots of buzz…and rightly so. Sporting a full bar and a nice wine selection, Ostia prepares Italian/Mediterranean cuisine, with homemade pasta, olive oil, fresh vegetables, cheeses, fruits, cheeses, and lemon juice among some of the predominant flavors.
