acqua e farina In Cesena

12/10/2025: Fair prices, good food quality (at least the appetizers and main courses, bruschetta we haven't tried), good service, and friendly waitresses. However, what we thought was the owner (or the dining room manager?) was a bit out of line: even though it's a Saturday night (7:30 PM, etc.), you don't tell people who haven't booked for their own reasons (we were passing by and needed to eat somewhere) that they can sit at a table as long as they vacate it early. Similar concepts are expressed, but in a more polite manner, e.g., "We'd be happy to serve you, but unfortunately, since we have a lot of reservations at xxx, we'll have to ask you to leave by yyy. If that's okay with you, we'd be happy to welcome you." I hate to have to point this out, but if you want to give a place the air of what it seemed, courtesy to customers is simply the foundation, and form becomes substance. The gentleman at the cash register (owner?) was infinitely kinder and more cordial.

05/10/2025: Neat location, friendly and fast staff. There were 9 of us and we ordered a trio of first courses to share. They arrived on serving plates, which they said were for 3 portions 🤔, I say for 2, but that's just my opinion, however, we had to reorder 2 more courses to satisfy everyone. In any case, the first courses were good and tasty. The bruschetta: bread not suitable for a dish with that name, unimaginative and put-together filling, a little warm, a little lukewarm... who knows? The place was very crowded, maybe that contributed. I remain unsure. In favor, definitely the service, lots of customers, but fast service.
