Hotel Nazionale

Fish and seafood take centre stage at this restaurant facing the beach and its moored boats, with a menu that showcases classic specialities from the Adriatic, including fried options and daily specials in line with what’s available at Cesenatico fish market. The restaurant does not take reservations.

One of the town’s authentic favourites, this fish restaurant has a pleasant, light - coloured decor inspired by the sea. The eclectic cuisine includes tapas and raw fish dishes.

Following its reopening in 2020, this seafront restaurant overlooking the beach and small harbour now offers its guests a choice between its indoor dining room or the panoramic terrace in fine weather (if you prefer the latter, it’s best to book ahead due to its popularity). The cuisine here focuses entirely on simple, unfussy fish dishes, with raw options and cooked dishes which make much use of the local Cervia salt. Daily, market-fresh specials are announced at your table.

In the old village of Salinari, a young enterprising chef runs this simple restaurant. His creative cuisine is prepared with the best regional produce of Romagna.
