ristorazione — Cesena · Emilia-Romagna
Seven kilometres separate the centre of Cesena from this corner of hillside where an old dance hall has become a seafood osteria. The Adriatic is nowhere in sight, and yet it arrives at the table: the fresh fish travels a distance the Romagna landscape gives no hint of.
Via Garampa, amid the hills of Monteaguzzo, is the unlikely address of a seafood restaurant that has turned a former dance hall into a place of cooking. The young management has redesigned the spaces with care, keeping the venue's convivial spirit while adding a precise gastronomic identity built on Adriatic catch.
Outside, the generous outdoor area with chairs, sofas and loungers opens onto a view that guests describe as breathtaking: the sunset over the hills of Cesena is part of the ritual, as much as the aperitivo in hand. The hillside thus becomes both backdrop and protagonist, a panorama no seaside restaurant could offer.
In the kitchen, the pasta is made in house: monfettini with cuttlefish sauce, passatelli and strozzapreti with fish are the dishes that tell the venue's twin soul, Romagna and maritime alike. Off the menu, zucchini flowers stuffed with salt cod and fried sage round out a repertoire built on fresh ingredients.
Il Pescatore di Montereale is a stop worth the drive into the hills: the page tells you about the menu, the opening hours and how to get there.
