Authentic Romagnolo Excellence at Osteria de Borg.
Nestled in the charming Borgo San Giuliano neighbourhood of Rimini, Osteria de Borg is a true gem that honours the deep culinary traditions of Emilia-Romagna. During my visit, I sampled four standout main dishes, each one a masterclass in flavour, technique, and regional authenticity.
The **Tagliatelle al Sugo Piselli** was deceptively simple—perfectly al dente pasta paired with a delicate tomato and pea sauce that felt both comforting and refined. The **Gnocchi di Patate Gialle di Gemmano** with “Mora Romagnola” sausage, mascarpone cream, and peppers was rich and satisfying. The sweetness of the peppers perfeclty balances the richness of the cream and sausage.
The **Cappelletti in Brodo di Gallina** was traditional and soulful, with a clear, flavourful broth and perfectly folded pasta. Finally, the **Cappelletti dell’Osteria alla Carote** added a gentle sweetness that made it surprisingly unique while staying rooted in classic technique. Sweet and savoury in harmonious dialogue.
Service was warm and attentive (but not intrusive), and the atmosphere struck just the right note between rustic and welcoming. Unpretentious and casual, yet of the highest quality, Osteria de Borg simply does everything right. A must-visit for anyone seeking real Romagnolo cuisine.
