Pizzeria Ostiense — Restaurant in Rome

We had some fritti, suppli was OK, baccala not great. My pizza, margherita di buffala was dry (small qty of tomato sauce) and small in size. Usually they are larger than the plate, but not here. Tiramisu, nothing to write home about. Ultimately you get what you pay for... let's just say I...
