Also known as the Osteria del Gran Fritto, this Bartolini-family room on Cesenatico's Porto Canale has held a Michelin Bib Gourmand for over fifteen years. The draw is fresh Adriatic fish, generously portioned and above all the namesake gran fritto, fried to order along the harbour front. It does not take bookings, so the queue is part of the ritual.

Editor's Tip

Arrive early in season; this is the benchmark fried-fish institution that separates the real thing from tourist canteens.
