Osteria Pappa e Ciccia — Restaurant in Rimini

I would give Osteria Pappa e Ciccia 6 stars if I could! It is fabulous!! Brother and sister owners/operators Roby and Anna work in the kitchen to lovingly create delicious handmade, mostly meat centric meals warmly and seamlessly served by Samy (who speaks 4 languages!) and Claudia.

Come to Osteria Pappa e Ciccia early in your Rimini stay so you can have time to make a second or third (or more) return visits! Needless to say, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Osteria Pappa e Ciccia for a delicious and wallet friendly dining...

When they had visitors they knew, one guy who was just walking around doing nothing started helping them out, talking and laughing, really nice to know someone gets both good food and...

I feel we were treated unfairly as they assumed we were English. Yes, i am but i am also Italian and conversed with them the whole time in Italian. The food was superb, if i was here longer i would return if it wasnt for the owner. He came over to the party of maybe 10, and offered them Limoncello, as well as the 2 (German i think) right next to us but we got nothing. 2 drinks each, starter to share, 2 mains, 2 desserts and we dont warrant a complimentary drink? Definitely subjective to either the owner or your...
