La Piada del Porticciolo In Cervia

07/05/2024: We attended the opening evening of the bathing season. Dinner consisted of a paella and sangria at a fixed price of 25 euros + à la carte menu for those who didn't like paella. Those who ordered à la carte were served in 20 minutes. Those who had paella waited almost 1 hour. Apart from this organizational inconvenience, the paella could not be defined as such. Parboiled rice still semi-raw (at least mine is that of my neighbors) No saffron. No vegetables. Seasoning based on mussels, clams, and some prawns. One portion each + a few dishes left at the center of the table for further tasting. For 25 euros with that quality it is a decidedly high price. For the rest it is a classic seaside establishment on the Romagna Riviera without any particular peculiarities. The staff is friendly. Just sufficient. It can be improved, especially in the kitchen.
