05/10/2025: Having made a somewhat hasty last-minute decision on a Saturday evening, we checked The Fork for availability, but it was sold out. Nevertheless, I called and a kind gentleman confirmed availability, but only for a slightly earlier time than the average arrival time for other reservations. Later, we understood why.
Upon arrival, the friendly maître d'/sommelier seated us, revealing a higher-than-average level of dining experience. This was evident from the menu displayed at the entrance, with tempting options and a limited menu, which we believe is a guarantee of meticulous preparation.
On a high note, and also to test the offer, we opted for the three-course + three-glass tasting menu. Without further ado, the selection proved to be absolutely top-notch throughout. It's pointless to describe the individual dishes, as the tasting menu changes constantly, so it's important to understand the logic and the relevance to your taste (except for intolerances, which are always requested). The sommelier carefully suggests and describes the wine pairings, all perfectly matched, even the more daring ones, according to a logic that doesn't allow red wine with fish (but when?). We later discovered that the choice is a classic "less is more": few dishes on the menu, few seats to ensure quality from every perspective. A choice we can agree on and absolutely spot on. In the dining room, the maitre d'/sommelier is accompanied only by a very capable colleague, two of them attentively attending to all the tables, but obviously, having arrived early when no one was there yet, we had the privilege of engaging in a conversation.
We usually skip dessert, but since everything was so good, we finished with "sweet" Irish oysters and a "not so sweet" chocolate dessert, accompanied by a Sicilian red passito nectar, all excellent and entirely to our tastes. What more can we say? If we ever pass through Rimini again, it will be a must.
The prices are completely in line with the quality of the offerings.
PS: It's incomprehensible how anyone could give a place like this one star. It makes you think there were some sort of personal problems (gastritis? Family arguments?).
24/09/2025: Oh, I have nothing but fond memories of this incredible place. It's incredibly rare to come across such a warm, family-run place. The magic of an enchanted garden, the view of an old tenement house in the background, thoughtful dishes, and the smile of an exceptionally hospitable hostess. In the country I come from, we say that such people "have their hearts on their sleeves." That's a perfectly fitting description. You can see a lot of love poured into every detail, from the decorations to the tableware, the greenery surrounding them, the presentation, and the presentation of the dishes. You feel pampered in every possible way. You are served with care, tact, and a beautiful, sincere smile that creates this. The lady patiently and willingly explains each dish, effortlessly in two languages. The dishes are unique, very tasty, and always beautifully presented. The restaurant itself and its surroundings are impeccably clean and tidy. Every detail is meticulously crafted, making it a particularly romantic place. I will return with great pleasure! Warmest regards to the right person, without whom this place wouldn't be so magical!
