25/12/2025: The "Zi Teresa" restaurant, open for over fifty years, is located in Montescudo, a small village nestled in the Rimini hills. It is a trattoria offering traditional Romagna cuisine in a welcoming atmosphere, within a spacious and well-organized space. Personal note: I particularly appreciated the round table, always convenient for conviviality.
The menu is varied and suitable for all palates, with excellent options for vegans and vegetarians.
The menu includes:
- Traditional appetizers: cold cuts, cheeses, crostini, and other local specialties
- Homemade first courses: strozzapreti, passatelli, tortelli, tagliatelle, gnocchi, and ravioli
- Meat-based main courses: various types and preparations
- Side dishes: vegetables cooked in various ways
- Desserts: a wide selection of classics (such as zuppa inglese and panna cotta) as well as more original and sophisticated options
The space is spacious, well-ventilated, and well-lit, with a low noise level. The staff stands out for their kindness, helpfulness, and family-like approach. The dishes are served courteously and in generous portions. The price is reasonable, especially considering the quality and provenance of the products.
Among the most positive aspects are the homemade dishes and the use of ingredients sourced from local farms and wineries; some products are even produced on-site. Allergens (gluten, soy, lactose, frozen products, etc.) are also clearly indicated on the menu.
We sampled appetizers, first courses, vegetables, meat, and desserts (see photo). The first courses were very good and delicate, the vegetables and desserts were truly excellent, but the meat was unimpressive.
Taking all factors into account, my overall rating is 7.5/10.
