Il Buco
About
Il Buco is a cherished pizza joint in Riccione that began as a modest cellar in the 1970s. Over time it’s grown into a bustling neighborhood hotspot that still holds true to its roots—serving hand‑crafted pies using a 24‑hour fermentation and a time‑tested Poolish dough technique. The menu features classic Roman‑style pizzas, a signature piadina, and a selection of vegetarian and vegan options that showcase locally sourced ingredients. Guests arrive each evening at 18:30 and can choose to dine indoors within the original basement charm or outside on the charming patio that faces Riccione’s lively promenade. The late‑night service, running until midnight, allows diners to savor a relaxed pizza experience after the day’s bustle, making it a favorite spot for late‑night cravings and leisurely family nights. Whether you’re a seasoned pizza aficionado or just looking for a hearty, authentic, and affordable Italian meal, Il Buco offers a welcoming ambiance, friendly service, and a taste of classic Romagnolo culinary heritage that keeps customers coming back time and again.
