Edition 2025 — Cuttlefish Festival

The sixth edition of the Ostia Cuttlefish Festival took place from October 1st to 5th, 2025, in the pedestrian area of Piazza Anco Marzio. Five days dedicated to the cuttlefish in all its forms, from stew with peas to squid-ink tagliatelle, with a food area, an aperitif and street food zone, and a gluten-free service. The central stage hosted show cooking, live music, cabaret, and dance nights, while the gardens welcomed the children's play area.

From October 1st to 5th, 2025, the sixth Ostia Cuttlefish Festival brought Piazza Anco Marzio to life with five days of gastronomy and entertainment. The seaside restaurant stalls, open from 12:00 PM to 11:00 PM, offered cuttlefish in numerous recipes, from the classic stew with peas to cuttlefish soppressata, with a menu also dedicated to gluten-free cuisine.

Alongside the food area, there was an aperitif and street food zone and the central stage with show cooking, debates on fishing and nutrition, live music, and cabaret. Evening highlights included a DJ set by DJ Osso. The event, which was free and organized by the Ostia Ristora association with Romevents, confirmed the festival as one of the most appreciated autumn events on the Roman coast.
