Osteria Pappa e Ciccia In Rimini

20/01/2026: Thanks to the discount offered by TheFork, I wanted to try this restaurant, located about a half-hour drive from Rimini. Upon our arrival, they seated us at one of the outdoor tables, shaded by a thick hedge. We decided to start with their mixed crostini and a cheese tasting accompanied by jam and honey. We continued with a classic sliced ​​steak and scortichini. I must say, everything was spectacular. It's certainly not Michelin-starred, but it doesn't claim to be either. And what it does offer, it does more than excellently. I'd also add that the welcome and service are worthy of the best hospitality you could expect. The staff was professional and attentive to every detail. Then there was Leone, the "beast" of the place, who deserves 5 stars alone! :) We still have to try the first courses and desserts, so we'll have to come back! Update 2026: As promised, we're back, and I have to say I stand by everything I said previously. The food is as good as I remembered, and the welcome, as always, is impeccable!

09/12/2025: We stopped by chance on our way back from San Marino, drawn by the reviews. It was a pleasant stop. Five of us had dinner. The crostini were all excellent, the tagliata exceeded expectations, among the tastiest and tenderest I've ever eaten, and then the desserts, the desserts were amazing—oh my, they were delicious. The owner makes you feel right at home; he really knows his stuff, very kind and attentive. Prices are reasonable. And then there's him, hanging to the side of the counter that welcomes you at the entrance, a painting by the renowned artist Teomondo Scrofalo—superlative. Worth considering for a future stop.
