Da Andrea In Cattolica

We had lunch here on Saturday, August 9th. The restaurant is like it used to be, with food based on recipes from Andrea, the owner's mother and grandmother. The fried fish is clearly specified on the menu, which isn't touristy, so it's authentic Riviera fried fish from the past (no squid, for example). Everything was delicious, with touches of history in the photos and paintings around the place. Andrea was very helpful and friendly, even sharing some historical tidbits. We'll definitely be back; we'll be back in Maranello soon!

The food at Andrea's is truly delicious! It's the BEST ☺️ You must try Lisa's tagliolini, but also the amberjack, sole, calamari, etc., and finally the classic apple pie...but this one is a must-try 😋😋

The place is a mix of retro, vintage, and chic... spartan but not casual, old-fashioned but modern... and yet definitely not cold. The host is warm and welcoming, explaining the origins of the dishes, which are family favorites. The portions are generous but not overly so, and the wines are local. The fried fish is not tourist-style (as specified on the menu). Those who, like me, don't like fish will find good alternatives. The zuppa inglese is excellent, and isn't shy about the alcohol, as is the case with most restaurants. I find it one of the best experiences I've had on the Riviera and highly recommend it.

I was truly impressed by this restaurant! The experience was excellent in every way. The food was exquisite: every dish was meticulously crafted, with authentic flavors and quality ingredients. A balanced menu, rich in flavor without being overbearing, and featuring extraordinary olive oil—so good it deserves a special mention! It was fragrant, intense, and enhanced every dish it was used in. The ambiance was also a pleasant surprise: elegant, clean, and welcoming. One detail that's often overlooked, but here it lived up to the hype: the bathrooms. Modern, meticulously maintained, and spotlessly clean, probably among the best I've ever found in a restaurant. A true sign of customer care.

A wonderful place with amazing food.

An unmissable dinner every time you pass through Cattolica. The freshness and quality of the fish are the reason for our long-standing appreciation of Andrea

Excellent experience at the Da Andrea restaurant! Neat and clean environment, impeccable service and excellent value for money. You can feel the ten-year tradition of the restaurant. Particularly appreciable is the kindness of the owner who, at the end of the dinner, showed us the vintage photos telling the story of the restaurant and its founding grandparents. A touch of authenticity that makes the experience even more special. Absolutely recommended!

The best restaurant in Cattolica. Typical cuisine, all fresh products. Excellent service. A beautiful and very special place.

De paso por Cattolica llegamos a este restaurante familiar. Comida casera, fantásticos ñoquis y manzana al horno deliciosa. Platos muy bien presentados. Servicio de atención excelente. Destaca la decoración de los baños donde además tienen diversos a disposición de cliente artículos tales como quitamanchas, toallas individuales de rizo, etc. Nos encantó. Cuando estemos por Emilia Romagna volveremos.

Di passaggio a Cattolica abbiamo pranzato in questo che era uno dei pochi ristoranti aperti. Servizio gentile, niente da dire sul cibo, buono sia il primo che il dessert. Ho trovato però il conto un po’ troppo alto trattandosi di una gestione familiare e cucina casalinga (primo 18€ e dessert 8€); inoltre il titolare ha raccolto la comanda masticando e (ahimè) sputacchiando: forse avrebbe dovuto finire il pranzo prima di presentarsi in sala. Non ci torneremo
