Ristorante Cristallo
About
Ristorante Cristallo, located in the heart of Riccione on Viale Dante, has been a culinary landmark since 1987. Founded by Giorgio Borgognoni and still family‑run, the restaurant blends the warmth of traditional Italian hospitality with contemporary flair. Its chefs, assisted by Giorgio’s wife Paola and daughters Valentina and Veronica, continuously update the menu to reflect seasonal ingredients while honoring classic Riccione flavors. The cuisine at Cristallo is anchored around fresh seafood, freshly‑made pasta, and homemade pizza. Patrons can enjoy dishes such as marinated sea scampi, fresh oysters, tuna tartare, and seasonal pumpkin or truffle creations, all prepared on the spot. The pizzeria offers hand‑rolled pies in whole‑wheat and Kamut flour, making it a favorite for both in‑house diners and takeaway guests. Open throughout the year, Cristallo serves as an ideal spot for business lunches, dinner meetings, or family gatherings. Reservations are encouraged, especially during peak tourist season, although walk‑ins are welcomed. The restaurant is fully accessible, offers free Wi‑Fi, and caters to special dietary needs, including gluten‑free, vegan, and vegetarian options. Whether you seek a leisurely meal near the seaside, a sophisticated venue for a corporate event, or simply a taste of authentic Italian cuisine in a stylish setting, Ristorante Cristallo delivers an experience that marries culinary excellence with impeccable service.
