La Buzzicona is a seafood-focused Italian restaurant in Ostia that serves traditional Roman dishes, including spaghetti alle telline and fresh seafood salads. Located near the harbor on Via dei Pescatori, it offers unpretentious cooking prepared with care.
The restaurant grew from the legacy of actress Anna Longhi, who starred alongside Alberto Sordi in classic Italian films during the 1950s. This connection to Rome's film industry shaped the character of the place from the beginning.
Black and white photographs line the walls, showing scenes from Italian cinema of the 1950s and 1960s that connect the restaurant to its artistic past. These images reflect how cinema and dining culture were intertwined in Rome during that era.
The restaurant sits on Via dei Pescatori near the harbor, where fishing boats and the smell of the sea remain part of the surroundings. It opens daily except Mondays and keeps prices reasonable and welcoming.
Sabrina, the daughter of founder Anna Longhi, now runs the restaurant and personally recommends wines to each table. This direct family connection to the place gives every visit a personal touch.
