A road separates Burro & Alici from the beach, and in summer the windows fold open so the dining room becomes the seafront. It looks like every other casual fish restaurant along the Marotta waterfront, which is the sort of camouflage that earns a Michelin Bib Gourmand. Classic Adriatic cooking carries the menu, with the occasional personal twist, and the gourmet pizzas topped with seafood are the kind of thing you didn't expect to order and then do.

The vegetable garden sits almost on the beach, close enough that the greens absorb salt air, which tells you something about how seriously this two-Michelin-star restaurant on the Adriatic takes its ingredients. Chef Moreno Cedroni runs tasting menus that swing between his own classic archive and a Marco Polo route through Asian and Middle Eastern flavors, with a food-tech lab next door feeding new ideas into the rotation. His wife runs the room, and runs it well.

From the outside it reads as a chic beach club gazing out at the Adriatic; step inside and the elegance turns hushed and a little unexpected. Guido is a Michelin-starred seafood restaurant, now in its third generation, built around the flavors of the upper Adriatic coast. The cooking looks simple at first, then quietly reveals the kind of technique that doesn't announce itself. An old-school institution with nothing to prove and nowhere to rush.

A contemporary dining room perched at the Sant'Erasmo belvedere, with the Adriatic and Monte Conero laid out below in summer. The chef leans into the sea for inspiration, building creative dishes around combinations that don't follow the obvious path. Two tasting menus, or à la carte if you'd rather call the shots yourself. Book ahead; the view is not a secret.

The terrace sits right over the canal, close enough that you could theoretically dip a hand in, which is either charming or alarming depending on your relationship with water. This Michelin-starred seafood restaurant in Cesenatico focuses almost entirely on fish, from unfussy raw starters to more composed plates where pickled fruit and citrus show up alongside the catch. The wine list leans heavily into Champagne, which nobody seems to mind.

The dining room seems to grow straight out of the beach, with big windows framing the Adriatic and a room that's noticeably more polished than the setting suggests. This is a proper seafood restaurant built around the day's catch, with classic dishes from the Adriatic coast and daily specials that follow the market wherever it goes. The wine list reaches well into France, which is a quiet flex for a place this close to the sand.

A glass-enclosed veranda on Cesenatico's main avenue, busy with summer promenaders just outside the windows, while inside the focus stays firmly on the Adriatic. This is a seafood restaurant in the straightforward sense: raw catches, gratins, pasta, risotto, grilled and baked fish, the daily specials announced aloud at the table. Alberto Faccani, the name behind Magnolia, oversees the kitchen, keeping things rooted in local maritime tradition rather than reaching for the clever.

A seafood restaurant tucked inside a private beach club on the Adriatic, where the dining room opens straight onto the sand and the umbrella rows stretch to the horizon. The cooking is careful and occasionally inventive, leaning into the catch with fresh egg pasta that mimics a risotto in the best way. The wine list leans heavily into Champagne, which, given the setting, feels like exactly the right call.
