We went to ask if there was room and were greeted by a rude and arrogant lady. I will definitely not go again.
What can I say? I recommend three seafood restaurants in Cesenatico. This is one of them! Right in the center, next to the fish market, stands this splendid, yet modest, restaurant. It's been open for almost 30 years and is dedicated to the legendary "pirate" Marco Pantani, who passed away many years ago. The risotto mantecato Luciano is a must, even though the minimum order is for two people (€26, very well spent!), followed by the fish of the day, magically filleted. Last but not least, dessert: Sicilian cassata in Romagna style, a delight! We always come back, and we're even close by!
My wife and I went to the Il Pirata restaurant in Cesenatico on Saturday evening. We had a fabulous dinner. The appetizer was two types of anchovies, and the taste of it is still in our mouths. A delicious baked fish with side dishes and a bottle of still white wine.<br>And to finish, a homemade dessert, all delicious.<br>Excellent quality and price.<br>Highly recommended.<br>We'll be back soon.<br>Thanks for everything, Gigi.
Grazie a voi, riuscite a modificare le stelle, 1 per quello che avete scritto mi sembra un po’ poco 😄
The seafood appetizers and the baked sea bass with vegetables were excellent! The homemade lemon sorbet was a delight!

Congratulations, excellent food and very good organization, super fast service... very good
SECOND visit: This time we tried their menu, and it was worth it. The same mistake persists on the dessert menu: no strawberries, but syrup. FIRST visit: Along the beautiful canal harbor of Cesenatico, there are dozens of restaurants (private and some good), but they all have outdoor seating, where people and even animals pass by while you dine. Looking for something more intimate and attentive to the customer, I found this place. It's a long-standing business; I think the name refers to a great man! The two owners (husband and wife!), with only one foreign waiter, manage the dining room attentively, wearing uniforms. The pleasant, cool, enclosed veranda and the indoor dining room are more popular in the winter. The table setting is beautiful, with tablecloths (not the menu). The table setting is classic. The menu is good, with a few choices, mostly fish. The wine list is adequate, though not extensive. The portions, presentation, and cooking are good. The gentleman is good at portioning fish onto the trolley (even if it's done behind the customer's back. Why? There were no other customers behind him, so he wouldn't have blocked the passage if he'd stepped alongside). A negative note is due to the dessert menu (his joke to the customer is not very polite), where when I pointed out an error on the menu, he reacted by thinking it was a complaint, rather than a suggestion from someone who knows the job well. Prices are fair, all payments accepted. If you want to avoid tourist restaurants, this one is worth a try. I'll be back to check out the dessert menu, but for now, I'll give it 5 stars.
Every dish we were served was excellent. The service was attentive, attentive but never oppressive. The setting is located on a narrow street in the historic center, bustling with pedestrians, yet it still manages to seat you at a quiet and private table. The food is spectacular; the seafood tastes of the sea, evidently sourced from the nearby traditional market on the canal harbor.
Super Risotto!
very rude people
