Ostiense/Piramide/Garbatella
Your up-and-coming place to be
Overview
Ostiense is figuratively emerging from the water.
In 5 years, this will be _the_place to spend your Saturday night. You could say it's making waves.
Ostiense was once an industrial area, which is the recipe for the new cool. It's what we look for in an up-and-coming neighbourhood.
If you want to be ahead of the in-crowd, you know where to come.
What can I do here?
Ostiense fights convention.
Here, an old gas holder can be a tourist attraction. No kidding – it has 90 reviews on Google. That's more than most restaurants.
The local cuisine is definitely worth sampling, though. The no-frills presentation means the key ingredient is flavour ... of the delicious variety.
Don't expect polite table service or polished cutlery, though. But that's the intrigue of an area full of liberal thinkers – you never know what to expect.
If you want a stylish place to grab a drink and good grub, go to Doppiozeroo. We hear they have great food and cocktails. At happy hour (every day from 18:00 to 21:00) it's €10 per cocktail, with a buffet included.
On top of all that, the city centre is a short train ride away.
Fascinating fact
Garbatella was a well-known Communist area in the 1970s. Comradery.
