Caffè Don Abbondio, Rimini

One step from the Musei di San Domenico, this small restaurant offers an interesting selection of wines. The accent is on the quality and seasonality of food. All dishes are homemade with great care. The unusual first courses include paccheri, short tube-shaped pasta with salt cod sauce, strozzapreti—local flour dumplings named “priest-chokers”—and delicious passatelli in broth, a classic Romagnan specialty. A traditional favorite is the mora romagnola pork meat, a local breed excellent for cold cuts and ham. A vegetarian menu and some gluten-free dishes for a celiac diet are also available. - Maria Frullini
