Quality, simplicity, flavor, joy.
My review will be divided into two parts because it's inconceivable for me not to share a wonderful story about what happened to us at this restaurant.
When we arrived in Riccione, we walked from our hotel to the beach. The best way to find the best restaurants in a seaside area is to ask the lifeguard. They know the right places and are a valuable source of information.
On his recommendation, we discovered this restaurant and we didn't regret it. I went to the restaurant around 11:00 to make a dinner reservation and met Mr. Oreste, with whom I spoke for about fifteen minutes. This initial contact was the beginning of a very beautiful encounter during our week-long vacation, as we dined at his restaurant four out of six nights.
Beyond the undeniable quality of the dishes and the restaurant's fame, there are two people, Mr. Oreste and Mr. Paolo, who we will always hold dear in our hearts for their kindness, their constant smile, their charm, and their culture. They pay attention to every detail without the customer even noticing.
They are the beautiful soul and history of this place.
For me, sharing a moment with friends around a table is a special experience that should be cherished more and more.
Thanks also go to all the staff for their professionalism and courtesy.
Not to mention the sunsets over aperitifs with your feet in the sand. Fantastic.
Now let's talk about food and quality.
All the dishes we tasted were perfectly cooked and seasoned. There's a genuine pursuit of that little something extra that makes the difference in the dish. From the excellence of the freshness of the fish to offering a true moment of happiness by the sea. When it's simple, it's enough. This is immediately noticeable and it's a culinary pleasure that makes you want to try everything and even request a special dish that wasn't on the menu.
Here are the dishes we chose for two people over these four evenings:
Appetizers:
- MUSSELS TARANTINA STYLE
- OCTOPUS ON POTATO SOFTNESS
- PARSLEY-CLAMS MARINARA
Raw Seafood:
- GILLARDEAU OYSTERS
First Course:
- SPAGHETTO WITH CUTTLEFISH INK "PAOLO STYLE"
- PACCHERI WITH LOBSTER
- SPAGHETTO WITH CLAMS AND PARSLEY
- ROMAGNOLI TORTELLINI WITH CREAM
Second Course:
- MIXED GRILLED CATCH OF THE DAY
- SHRIMP AND CALAMARI SKEWERS
- MIXED FRIED FISH
- GRILLED SHELLFISH
Beyond the Sea:
- PARMA HAM AND MELON
Bubbles:
- Prosecco Valdobbiadene Sup. Millesimato DOCG Extra Dry - Follador
White wine:
- Tratturo Terre di Chieti I.G.T. Passerina
I won't mention the price because at this point it doesn't matter. As they say at home, you only live once and you should enjoy every moment on this earth.
Our best wishes to Oreste and Paolo and their loved ones.
We hope to see you again soon. William & Nathalie. June 2023.

Yesterday, a friend of mine and I had dinner at this lovely restaurant right on the beach.
The owners were truly kind and attentive.
I absolutely recommend this place, especially for the good food and the raw seafood and spaghetti, which are the highlights, and the fish is truly fresh.

Ho cenato in questo ristorante sul mare con un amico. Mangiato benissimo, ottima scelta di vini. Per quanto riguarda il servizio posso solo dire che ho goduto della vera accoglienza romagnola, i signori che ci hanno servito sono stati cortesi e ci hanno consigliato ottimi piatti.
Ci tornerò

The restaurant is located right by the sea. Outdoor seating is limited, but if you can get one, it's great.
However, the food is a bit pricey and the portions are too small.
