Rank 5. Burro & Alici
Seafood
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.

Rank 9. Madonnina del Pescatore
Seafood
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.

Rank 10. Cuoco di Bordo
Seafood

Rank 11. Guido
Seafood
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.

Rank 19. Onda Blu
Adriatic Seafood
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.
