The best seafood restaurants Emilia-Romagna

It is a pearl of the seas that you must try if you love fish and seafood in all its forms. The fish shop that sells its fresh wonders during the day has opened a small restaurant with a row of tables as a terrace under the roof of the Mercato delle Erbe. Here, only small dishes are served for a few euros each. On the menu: raw specialties (tartars, carpacci), fried (squid, prawns) and cooked. We loved the prawns with Greek Kataifi dough, this crispy envelope of fried filaments, a real delight.

You have to cross a small bridge over the canal to reach this restaurant specializing in fish dishes. On the few tables set up outside along the water, or in the large room covered by a frame, you can choose between seafood antipasti, raw fish, spaghetti with squid ink, fried fish and squid, and the inevitable eel of Comacchio, cooked with tagliolini, grilled or fried. The establishment also offers five rooms in Bed & Breakfast.

Located in front of the port, a restaurant where fish and seafood are king. Chef Andrea's mission is to sublimate his products without distorting their taste qualities by using too many condiments and side dishes. Culinary minimalism, one might say, but make no mistake about it: the dishes are sought-after, the presentation is very elegant. On the menu, there are several proposals both raw and cooked (tartars and sashimis of fish and shellfish, seafood platters), pasta and risottos, grilled fish with Cervia salt, etc.

This restaurant is located inside a former 18th century oratory, in a green setting. The large room under the frame, decorated with old objects, gives off a warm and slightly old-fashioned atmosphere. The cuisine is based on fish and seafood with guaranteed freshness. The dishes are very simple - it would be a sin to denature these quality products by an excess of primer! A must try, risotto all'anguilla. Even if the place is a little hard to find, it's worth the detour.
