If you are looking for a typical Romagna restaurant capable of combining quality and price, I recommend the farm The ridges, in Rimini.
The I Crinali farmhouse is located in the first hills of Rimini and more precisely in the locality of Santa Cristina in via S. Cristina 73 / R, a road that can be reached from the SP 49, taking the Marecchiese state road (SP 2588), which continues up to Verucchio and Novafeltria.
I Crinali is a place where I return often and willingly both with friends and family, but also for a quiet dinner for two. It is not the classic rustic and ancient trattoria, but on the contrary, it is a farmhouse with modern and simple furnishings. Its peculiarity is the typical Romagna cuisine prepared with local ingredients and some products directly from the farm itself, such as wine and olive oil.
Il menu which is proposed is cooked with fresh ingredients and the pasta and desserts are strictly handmade, as per tradition: cappelletti, tagliatelle, strozzapreti, ravioli, donuts, pies and the inevitable piadina. The main courses, on the other hand, such as grilled meat, are prepared and cooked in the open kitchen.
In Rimini it is a restaurant known in particular for: tagliatelle with meat sauce, strozzapreti with sausage, cream and radicchio, ravioli with cherry tomatoes, grilled cockerel, rabbit in porchetta, baked lamb, grilled meat with mutton, pork ribs, tagliata and sausage, gratin tomatoes and baked new potatoes.
Another peculiarity of the Crinali is the absence of the menu at the table because the dishes of the day are listed exclusively by the waiters, where it can be said that there is always a great variety of first and second courses to choose from. While waiting, the staff always brings a tasting plate with typical local cold cuts, cheeses and some cassoncini and wedges of stuffed piadina, while at the end of the meal the house digestives are offered with the bottles directly to the table. The staff is always polite, professional and above all fast.
Il local inside it consists of two rooms and a veranda where in summer it is very pleasant to eat and from which you can admire the beautiful landscape of the Rimini hills and the sea in the distance. Always in summer it is also possible to eat at some more secluded tables on the outdoor terrace.
Il service it's fast and the prices are more than good given the quality of the ingredients, the preparation, the care of the dishes and the more than generous portions. The only flaw, but not necessarily, at least for me, is that being a real farm, you can only serve local food and drinks (by law), so here you will not find fizzy drinks (coca-cola etc.) or drinks alcoholic except obviously the own production wine. Only local and 0 km products.
I prices they are contained as with 20 euros per person it is possible to eat a complete menu from appetizer to dessert. I Crinali is a farmhouse that I recommend for all occasions, even for special ones.
It is the ideal place for those who want to try and taste the typical dishes of Romagna cuisine in a quiet place and to discover the true flavors of the Rimini hinterland. To try!
