Mmm. Il Piacere Artigianale In Letojanni

26/03/2024: Absolutely exceptional experience, both for the food and the service. If you happen to be in those parts, treat yourself to dinner with them: it's worth the choice!

17/03/2024: After a few years we return here, on the Rimini hills with a beautiful panorama, which can be appreciated more during the day than in the evening. Change of chef and change of menu, à la carte dishes and three surprise tasting courses of 4,6 and 8 courses, the number of courses changes but the overall quantity remains identical and between the entrée and the small pastry shop you leave truly satisfied. Nice interior, perfectly integrated furniture with open kitchen on the ground floor, welcoming atmosphere and very friendly staff without being excessive. The new menu has unusual or risky but excellent combinations on the palate, the chef is imposing a new path with flavors of Sicily, the land of origin. Homemade bread, breadsticks and bread rolls served with black garlic butter, very dangerous because it gets overwhelming. Entrée served on a steel vine, a good start in the variety of flavors. Mushroom cannoli with Jerusalem artichokes and Modica chocolate, good, perhaps too tasty. Double cooked prawn, extraordinary, beautiful flavors and combinations. Spaghettini with walnuts, razor clams, nettle and sumac, appetizing. Risotto with San Patrignano cheeses and mandarin, perfectly cooked, engaging. Croaker cooked on coals, a woody flavor that never tires... very soft, moist, excellent. Pre dessert refreshing carrot, basil and saffron ice cream. Sweet crème brûlé deconstructed with pecorino cheese. Courteous and attentive service without being invasive. To improve, the table linen which in a table of 6 like us was placed next to every two people, in addition to the collection of crumbs which must be done in a restaurant that aims high. Sore point, which I find very annoying, a mark-up on the wine list beyond any logic. Too bad, a really discordant note, and that's the reason for the 4 stars and not 5.
