罗马涅

Situated in a small garden in the historic centre, this modern bistro has a light, airy feel thanks to its large windows and its outdoor tables perfect for alfresco dining in summer. The menu features contemporary-style, personalised meat and fish dishes which are full of flavour, while at lunchtime, the lighter “Pranzetto” menu is a good option. The restaurant also offers an excellent selection of cocktails for an evening aperitif, plus an impressive choice of digestifs to enjoy after your dinner.

Situated in a picturesque historic hamlet with a castle once inhabited by the Malatesta dynasty, this restaurant boasts a charming and traditional dining room. The delicious cuisine is the star of the show here, featuring imaginative dishes showcasing ingredients from the Romagna region, as well as more classic recipes such as pasta with carbonara and amatriciana sauces. All the fresh pasta is home made.

Situated at the foot of the fortress in the historic centre of Castrocaro, this restaurant has an interesting young chef at the helm, Andrea Giacchini. The cuisine often (but not always) has a local influence and demonstrates remarkable technical expertise that is neither overly ostentatious nor an end in itself, but rather a way of skilfully showcasing the top-quality ingredients used.

This building, home to the San Bartolo Knights Templar “hospital” until the 13C, now houses an attractive restaurant which continues this old tradition of hospitality. Here, a friendly dining room with a pleasantly rustic yet elegant feel serves as a backdrop for generous, substantial cuisine with a hint of creativity. An outdoor space shaded by a vine-planted pergola completes the picture.

One of the best-known addresses in this region for fish enthusiasts, this restaurant serves freshly caught fish prepared in simple, traditional dishes that allow the quality of the flavour to shine through. A good wine list (particularly champagnes) and a panoramic terrace add to the appeal.
