AL DOLLARO

AL DOLLARO is a spacious bar and tobacco shop perfectly positioned right at the entrance of Castel Fusano’s vast pinewood in Lido di Ostia. This location naturally attracts morning visitors looking for a sturdy breakfast before setting off on walks or bike rides through the famed forest. The proximity to the pines gives the spot a distinctly relaxed, open-air feel, even inside, with plenty of room to settle in comfortably.

The crowd here tends to be locals from the nearby 10th municipality as well as nature enthusiasts making a stop before or after exploring the woods. It’s a practical spot for grabbing a quality coffee, where you can watch the baristas skillfully prepare drinks—the kind of coffee crafted with care that you don’t just drink, but experience. Service is noted for being friendly and attentive, which makes the slow moments sitting here even more pleasant.

Evenings bring a quieter vibe suited to casual drinks by the river, with seating areas well-suited for groups or solo visitors looking to unwind. The connection to nature and the border between urban life and green space gives AL DOLLARO a unique rhythm—neither rushed nor overly touristy, but a genuine local bar where time feels a little softer.

For anyone passing through P.za di Castel Fusano, AL DOLLARO works well for:

• A straightforward, no-fuss breakfast or coffee stop before heading into nature
• A meeting place for locals who live nearby and appreciate a relaxed atmosphere
• A spot to enjoy a casual afternoon or evening drink with friends, especially with the river just steps away

Visiting in the morning captures the bar’s lively but comfortable energy, while late afternoon to early evening visits lean into a serene mood with fewer crowds and natural surroundings.
