Reviews Summary
Osteria de Borg is celebrated for its authentic Romagnolo cuisine, with handmade pasta and delicious meat dishes earning high praise. Diners enjoy the cozy, rustic atmosphere and the charming Borgo San Giuliano location. Some reviews mention inconsistent service or slightly high prices, but the overall experience is consistently described as delightful and home-style.
"A cozy spot nestled in the heart of the old town, with a charming atmosphere that invites you to linger. While the waitstaff didn’t seem particularly enthusiastic during my visit, the service was efficient and the food arrived impressively quickly. I only ordered a selection of appetizers, but they were flavorful and satisfying enough to leave me feeling full. I’d be happy to return to try more of the menu—there’s definitely potential here for a great meal."

"Absolutely delicious and rustic home-style dining. From the thick rolled ravioli, to the simple bread side, and the hearty stuffed zucchini, Osteria de Borg delivered on a filling and delicious classic experience. It was really lovely and homey."

"A cozy restaurant with great atmosphere inside. Really gem of Rimini. Located in a nice small street, away from a more noisy area. All dishes were fantastic! Meat tartar had a consistency of a pate, very nice in the mouth, without any smell of meat itself. It might seem very home cooked from the fotos, but the taste was insane! Really suggest to pass by if you’r in the area."

In the old fishing quarter, the restaurant to head for is Osteria de Borg, (but only after navigating narrow pedestrian streets with the faint smell of jasmine and rose wafting around). While La Marianna is known for its fish, Osteria de Borg celebrates meat. The unpretentious atmosphere is offset by flavorful and honest food made with local ingredients and handmade pasta.

And for those partial to a casual and traditional dining experience, head for the Osteria de Börg, which is recommended in the 2017 Michelin Guide. Hidden away on Via Forzieri, this restaurant is popular with locals and visitors in-the-know and offers an impressive array of flavourful, slow-cooked dishes made with local ingredients and handmade pasta. Sample the delicious piandina bread, served with a generous selection of cheeses, followed by the succulent ravioli.
6 rules for visiting rimini
Borg: I kept reading about The Borg and thinking it was some sort of sci-fi festival. In reality it is the oldest part of Rimini, a sort of preserved-in-time fishing village at the edge of the port. With low, brightly colored, two story buildings it reminded me a lot of Burano.

This restaurant is located on the other side of the Ponte di Tiberio and looks like a real Italian living room. They offer traditional dishes like tagliatelle con funghi. Very nice restaurant if you want something typical Italian.

Un “outsider” di borgo San Giuliano, che fra tavole tutto pesce rende invece omaggio al ricettario campagnolo. Piatti caserecci, lavagnetta con menu del giorno, Mora Romagnola come se piovesse. Sala allegra e colorata.
