Osteria Pensavo Peggio In Rimini

My two-word review: I expected worse! Don't be fooled by the exterior location: step inside without hesitation and prepare to enjoy excellent, authentic Apulian food. Mr. Angelo, with his passion, will explain the characteristics, origins, and unique features of the ingredients used. I'm sure I'll be back and bring friends. Recommended!

It's been a long time since I left a restaurant so satisfied. I was here with my wife and we were truly impressed: typical Apulian cuisine made as it should be, with the highest-quality ingredients. You can really taste the research and passion behind it. We started with spectacular mussels: full of seafood flavor, incredibly fresh... truly top-notch. Then I asked the waiter (exceptional!) for some advice: very kind, very friendly, and also a great salesman, he really knows how to guide you in your choice. I had the chitarrine with burrata, basil, cherry tomatoes, and shrimp... a world-class dish, one of the best dishes I've had in recent memory. Excellent wine (at very fair prices, by the way) and impeccable service. We also tried the tiramisu... and I have to say: it took me back to my grandmother's. Spectacular, truly made the way it used to be. The owner is super down-to-earth, friendly, and also very stylish; he makes you feel right at home. The place itself isn't particularly well-crafted, but the atmosphere is welcoming and familiar, and that's what really matters. In short: everything was top-notch. I'll definitely be back, even if I'm not a local.

My husband and I went for dinner last night, enticed by the positive reviews. Our expectations were more than met. Everything was truly delicious, with top-quality ingredients cooked to perfection. The service, which accompanied and advised us throughout the dinner, was also excellent. We will definitely be back. My sincere compliments to the entire staff. You gave us a wonderful culinary journey in a family-friendly atmosphere.

Excellent seafood dinner for two. Everything was delicious, both the starters and the grilled fish, and the fish was fresh. We also appreciated the little touches, like the more intimate table, the homemade taralli offered while we waited for our starters, and the quality Apulian Peranzana olive oil, which was also excellent on its own with Altamura bread. The staff and owner were very friendly. The prices were fair. We'll definitely be back.

Emilio is a surefire winner. His friendliness, helpfulness, and experience make him an excellent host, where he'll recommend every dish and guide you from start to finish, along with his wife in the kitchen and his right-hand man in the dining room. Everything is delicious: homemade pasta, Apulian olive oil, local bread, and excellent fish dishes. Highly recommended.

Excellent experience at the osteria!! A pleasant and quick dinner featuring meat and seafood first and second courses. Delicious dishes. Excellent service, clean and well-kept atmosphere. Attentive and super friendly staff. We'll definitely be back.

Excellent experience. A seafood restaurant with a wide selection of dishes (there are also some meat options). The staff is friendly and welcoming, and the place appears to be well-maintained, both in terms of cleanliness and attention to detail. Everything we ordered was really good and fresh, and arrived promptly. I highly recommend it!

Friday evening, a table of 12 friends had a great time. If you're looking for an authentic place with real Romagna cuisine, this is the place. The food was excellent, tasty, and plentiful; all the dishes were delicious. We paid a fair bill. The owner was very helpful and kind. We had a great time. I recommend it and will definitely be back.

We visited this restaurant by chance. The atmosphere was simple but welcoming. We were greeted very kindly. The waiter explained the origins of every ingredient. We ordered orecchiette with ragù for our daughter. It was perfectly cooked and the ragù was of the highest quality. My partner and I ordered bruschetta with stracciatella and anchovies: a delicate combination of top-quality ingredients. We continued with handmade spaghetti with red pesto, shrimp, and burrata: absolutely not to be missed. We finished by sharing a grilled fish: top quality and quantity. We finished with two coffees. Then they offered mascarpone cream with chocolate chips for our daughter and a piece of ciambellone for us. They also offered a grappa. The only downside is that unfortunately we are from Florence and will hardly be able to return anytime soon. A great surprise. Absolutely highly recommended. As soon as we return to Rimini, we will definitely be back.

This Sunday we booked for 12:00 PM (having a 2-year-old) through The Fork with a 20% discount. The service, precise but informal, was handled by Mr. Angelo. Scrupulous and attentive. He gifted us with an entree of Apulian taralli with (raisins?) and onion. They were delicious. We ordered baked fish for the child (the waiter showed me how to easily identify the bones and pushed a portion himself). Handmade chitarra pasta with red pesto, burrata, and shrimp... Heavenly! Of course, mop up the sauce with toasted Altamura bread and Apulian olive oil (which they also sell). My husband ordered tagliatelle with mushrooms, which was also good. We had also ordered mixed fried fish, but since we were so full, we asked for it to be taken away or if it was possible to stop it. Since it hadn't been prepared yet, we canceled the order. All accompanied by a bottle of water, a Fanta, a glass of wine, and two coffees. A piece of cake was offered at the end. Total: €56
