La Mulata Riccione In Riccione

27/11/2025: We tried the Hadria seafood menu and the meat menu and enjoyed both, but we were a bit disappointed by the wine pairings and the service. We expected to always have a full glass in front of us, as at many other Michelin-starred restaurants we've dined at, but instead, all the table settings were served with just a glass of water... and thus the long waits between courses, with one glass taken away and the next never arriving. The glass (with about 6cl of wine) often ran out halfway through the pairing dish and wasn't refilled. Overall, the entire service was a bit cumbersome, with multiple waiters rushing around instead of one clearly dedicated to our table; it didn't give the feeling of being pampered, as at other Michelin-starred restaurants. On the other hand, we appreciated the freedom of being able to choose between two different menus and the reasonable prices (80 euros for the menu and 30 for the wine pairing). We loved some dishes (the mandarin and red mullet ravioli, the lamb with celery), while others were less convincing (the very bitter squid, the flat sole with little personality). The pairings were interesting, although there was a strong (undisclosed) bias toward natural or macerated wines, which not everyone likes. What we particularly enjoyed was the dessert we added off-menu: churros with dulce de leche, peppermint ice cream, and quemadillo (a cold, smoky soft drink). Don't miss it!
