What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Osteria la Ciurma is celebrated for its incredibly fresh, locally sourced seafood and authentic Romagnolan flavors, offering a vibrant atmosphere with live music that creates a lively dining experience. While many praise the high quality of the food and the exceptional value, some reviews mention that dish descriptions can be vague, and service, while generally friendly, can sometimes be a bit slow during peak times. Overall, it's a highly recommended spot for seafood lovers seeking a genuine local experience without breaking the bank.
"The food is great in this place, the fish and the rest of the seafood is fresh and cooked really tastefully. The fish is arriving to the restaurant by the fisherman's cooperativa immediately. There are a few options, but very delicious. Today we visited for the first time and we tasted the fried fish, the risotto with seafood (mussels and cuttlefish in pieces), and the lightly spicy crab-pasta which was the plate of the day. The sparkling wine was also very nice. The service could improve a bit, but overall very good quality seafood in a very good price. We will come back!"

"This is the place to be if you love authentic Romagnolan fresh seafood. Owner Paola has a long and good relationship with the local fishermen who supplies her her with the best ingredients. But to be sure of a table it is wise to make reservations in advance because it is a very popular place with often a que to get a table."
Eric Veenhuyzen
"Was good lunch, they found a table even if we didn't book it in advance. The only negative point is that dishes are not described.. So some dishes were different than we expected. In anycase everything was good"
