Darsena Sunset — Restaurant in Rimini

In a nutshell, Best sunset view experience in Rimini. Its name comes not by chance, the Sunset Bar is located at Rimini Marina, aka “Darsena”, an upscale district in Rimini harbor characterized by deluxe restaurants, yachts and other vessels with two long quays and two docks offering 622 berths on a body of water of over 100,000 square metres. Sunset Bar is in addition facing the public beachfront of S. Giuliano and therefore benefiting from colorful breathtaking sunsets every evening. Enjoying a tapas (called here in Romagna Tapabùs = plug a hole [in your stomach because you are hungry]) and wine Aperitivo here is a must and it is as well frequently chosen as a place for marriage proposals due to its romantic atmosphere. Seafood, meat & vegetarian small plates, plus sangria & cocktails are also available. My choices: crostone con sardoncini marinati, squacquerone e radicchio al sangiovese (9€), calamari fritti con feta e rucola (14€), gamberi, speck, scamorza e miele (4pcs, 14€), polpo arrosto, hummus di ceci, rosmarino, olive e paprika affumicata (18€) and “La Classica” piadina flatbread (8€). All served with a delicious a Brut Franciacorta DOCG sparkling wine from Contadi Castaldi vineyard (8€ glass, 38€ bottle). Tip: Reserve a sofa table at sunset time and enjoy. Usually the atmosphere is delighted by the amazing Cooltrane Quartet lounge jazz soundtracks and at exact sunset time I heard more than once them playing the famous “Vincerò” part from Turandot’s “Nessun Dorma” by Luciano Pavarotti....

A must when you want eat some good food with a even better location! I had the opportunity to have lunch at the Darsena Sunset Bar with a friend. We didn't have a reservation, since we decided to go there last minute as the weather was a bit uncertain. The waiters welcomed us in a very friendly way and managed to find a good table for us. We had two glasses of Prosecco, a bottle of water, a Sunset Salad, their gnocchetti and cheescake. The quality of the food was great, as well as a well-thought presentation of the plates. Overall, we paid € 46.50 which was fair, considered they give the opportunity to enjoy a meal...

Food and drinks are good, service is an absolute catastrophe.

We had to chase the waiters multiple times and remind them about our drinks. In the end we were overcharged one drink and also there was an attempt to charge us the same 10€ for a virgin colada (without alcohol) as they normally do for an ordinary pina colada (with alcohol). When I told them that this makes no sense, they didn‘t want to admit this, so that I had to become more harsh in the tone before they finally acknowledged that a virgin cocktail cannot be the same price as an alcoholic cocktail. I view this as an attempted scam.

Stay away from this...
