A new adventure for skilful chef Agostino Iacobucci (his original restaurant of the same name is in Castel Maggiore), housed within a villa that food-enthusiasts will remember as the former home of the two-Michelin-star Magnolia. In this elegant and welcoming setting, resident chef Marco Garattoni demonstrates the precise culinary techniques acquired during his many years working in top-quality restaurants. His dishes are contemporary, always colourful, beautifully presented, pleasing and attractive, even mouthwatering at times, and mostly based on fish, with the addition of a few vegetarian a

Choose a table on the outdoor summer terrace (right over the water!) at this restaurant in order to best appreciate its location overlooking the picturesque canal port and its period houses.

Alberto Faccani, the chef at the Magnolia restaurant in the hills inland from Cesenatico, oversees the cuisine at this restaurant, which occupies an elegant veranda on the town’s main avenue – a busy promenade in summer. Fish takes centre stage here, in unfussy dishes that faithfully reflect the maritime traditions of the Adriatic. The menu, alongside daily specials announced at your table, features dishes that include raw fish and seafood, gratins, seafood salads, pasta and risotto, while the main courses feature a selection of grilled, baked and fried fish.

Just steps from the Leonardo-designed canal harbor, this spot takes a bold stance: it serves only meat, with a strong focus on the grill. Quality ingredients, fresh pastas, and classic house-made spoon desserts. An excellent wine list, especially strong on reds, rounds out the offering. The dining room is bright and all white; the cool, tranquil outdoor terrace is very welcoming, ideal in the warmer months. At the helm is a young couple driven by passion and professionalism.

An unexpected gourmet restaurant in a typical private beach club on the Romagna coast, with a dining room that opens on to the beach with its long line of beach umbrellas. The dishes here are carefully prepared and occasionally creative, and all of good quality. We particularly recommend the monfettini (fresh egg pasta) mantecati with cuttlefish, clams, mantis shrimp and ink, which looks like a risotto and is absolutely delicious. The restaurant also boasts a good wine list with an excellent choice of champagnes.
