Local dishes from Riccione's culinary heritage, prepared at your home

Riccione is a destination rooted in Emilia-Romagna's culinary traditions. The local Italian culinary heritage is defined by ingredients that can only be fully appreciated here: Parmigiano Reggiano 36 months, mortadella di Bologna, and Romagnolo fresh egg pasta. Emilia-Romagna is Italy's undisputed food capital. No other region concentrates so many PDO products: the king of cheeses (Parmigiano), the king of hams (Parma), and the world's most prized vinegar (balsamic from Modena), all within an hour's drive. Your private chef will source these directly from trusted local suppliers, transforming your accommodation into a stage for dishes like tortellini in brodo, piadina romagnola, and gnocco fritto — each one a story of this land told through flavor.

★ 5.0/5

"We asked for a late dinner — 9:30 PM start — because we wanted to experience the Italian way. The chef was totally relaxed about it. We started with aperitivo at sunset, then moved to the table where each course arrived leisurely. By midnight, we were savoring espresso and homemade cantucci, fully immersed in la dolce vita."

★ 4.5/5

"Watching fresh pasta being made in your own kitchen is mesmerizing. The dough came together in minutes, the rolling was hypnotic, and the cutting was precise. Then three minutes in boiling water, a toss in the sauce, and suddenly you understand why Italians are so passionate about food."

★ 4.5/5

"Exceptional from start to finish — the fresh ingredients made an extraordinary difference. The tomatoes, the olive oil, the mozzarella — all clearly sourced with meticulous care. Each course told a story of the region, building from light, vibrant antipasti through rich, soulful pasta to a magnificent main course. The menu felt like a thoughtfully composed journey through Italian culinary tradition. A magnificent evening."
