I went to Osteria Charlie in Cattolica without high expectations, but I was truly satisfied. The atmosphere is simple and welcoming, unpretentious, just like a real osteria.
The dishes are plentiful and carefully prepared; you can taste the quality ingredients. Even the desserts are excellent and generous, which isn't always the case. The prices are fair, considering the quality of the dishes and the fact that you leave feeling truly full.

At Osteria Charlie in Cattolica, you immediately feel the authentic atmosphere of an osteria, not a restaurant, but a family-run one. The staff is friendly and helpful, and their passion for food is immediately apparent. The dishes are plentiful, flavorful, and made with quality ingredients, and even the desserts are excellent and generous.
The prices are fair, in line with the quantity and quality of the food. What some negative comments say is not true: I've had only one positive experience. A true osteria experience: simple, authentic, and satisfying. I'll definitely be back! 🍝🍷🍰

Osteria da Charlie – a surprise worth experiencing
Osteria da Charlie is one of those places that doesn't shout to get noticed, but rather speaks through what really matters: the food and the hospitality. From the outside, it may seem almost out of the way, but as soon as you step inside, you'll discover a genuine, warm, and authentic osteria where you immediately feel at ease.
The dishes are generous, carefully prepared, and of high quality, with authentic flavors that reflect tradition. From fish to pizza, to desserts, also generous and well-crafted, everything arrives in truly satisfying portions and with an excellent balance of flavor and simplicity.
The service is friendly, attentive, and never intrusive, always accompanying the meal with the right smile. The quality-price ratio is absolutely fair.
I had read some negative reviews before going, but after trying it myself, I can say that many of the criticisms are misplaced. Sometimes you expect a gourmet restaurant, forgetting that this is an osteria: and should be treated as such.
Here you eat well, you eat a lot, and you leave satisfied. A sincere place, without pretense, that deserves to be experienced without prejudice. 👌🍝🍰

The fresh fish was all delicious. I only had to give it 4 stars because the seafood salad was missing two ingredients listed on the menu: octopus and shrimp. The large fish appetizer also said "6 appetizer samples," but there were only 5 on the plate. Anyway, everything was delicious and the fish was very fresh.

Osteria da Charlie in Cattolica is one of those places you don't expect. From the outside, it honestly seemed almost stuffy: dim lighting, a quiet atmosphere, and a somewhat discreet appearance that doesn't catch the eye like other, more flashy establishments. Yet, once you open the door, you discover a welcoming and authentic osteria.
The interior is very simple, with tidy tables, a relaxed atmosphere, and that touch of "home" that immediately puts you at ease.
I ate well; the portions were generous, the flavors authentic, the service friendly, and there were no discordant notes to report.
Before going, I had read several negative reviews, but after trying it myself, I can say that many of those criticisms seem exaggerated or out of context. Sometimes, an osteria is judged as if it were a gourmet restaurant, or an entire experience is condemned for a tiny detail.
Before letting negative reviews sway you, perhaps it's best to try it for yourself. Because, as happened to me, the real experience can be decidedly better than what you read online.
In conclusion, it's an honest, welcoming, and authentic place. It might not look impressive from the outside, but inside it offers everything a true osteria promises: good food, a relaxed atmosphere, and a meal that's sure to leave you satisfied!

We both had a fantastic, delicious, and generous portion of fritto misto with rustic potatoes. Water and wine with the meal, unlike at home, came in bottles and the table wine in carafes. Great. It was very, very good; we'll go back. The service was also excellent; they frequently asked if everything was okay. Highly recommended.
