La Rustita Pesaro In Pesaro

Excellent fresh seafood cuisine, using high-quality ingredients. Fast service, friendly and professional staff. Excellent value. I recommend the antipasto, grilled meat, and the top-notch first courses.

Always a go-to when we're in Pesaro al Mare. A rustic restaurant with somewhat difficult parking. The menu isn't particularly extensive, but it's adequate. The appetizers are interesting and good, and the first courses aren't particularly good for my taste, though they're well-cooked. The rustita, on the other hand, is simply out of this world. The menu varies, I think, depending on the fish, but it's still the restaurant's signature dish. The desserts could use a little more work. The staff is simply exquisite. Overall, the overall rating is completely positive; it's no coincidence that I always return.

Great expectations miserably failed. Portions bordering on legal, prices very high for the portions of the dishes. Fortunately, the service was excellent and fast, the food good and the fish fresh, but I consider it a steal to have spent forty euros each on a paltry appetizer for which we had asked for plenty and instead received paltry, if you'll pardon the expression; two first courses, one of which was a seafood risotto that wasn't particularly generous; a very modest plate of trofie with crab; a marinara pizza; a seafood pizza that was drowning in mozzarella and, believe me, it didn't go down; a five-euro portion of chips, practically a euro per chip because there were six chips in total; a paltry portion of mixed seafood with four small fish; a portion of mixed fried calamari where four calamari escaped from the plate; and finally two mango desserts whose cream, of indeterminate flavor, didn't have much flavor. My husband had better luck with the mascarpone cream. There were three of us at dinner. The price was too high for the size of the portions. I didn't take photos because the portions were so small that by the time I remembered, it was all gone. A terrible experience. I don't think I'll ever go back. The only positive note was the service, with the friendly waitresses who looked after the customers, which I greatly appreciated. My advice: increase the portions or lower the prices, because in life you have to be honest.
