We visited Da Lucio in Rimini, the seaside restaurant that has just received its first and well-deserved Michelin star.
We spent two days with the team to understand the project, get to know chef Jacopo Ticchi, and try their surprising tasting menu.
Spoiler: it was so extraordinary that we couldn’t believe it didn’t already have a star. And in fact, two weeks later… it arrived.
The Location: a restaurant immersed in the sea
Reaching Da Lucio is already an experience. A long walkway along the harbor leads you to the very end of the pier where, surrounded by rocks and open sea, the restaurant appears.
The dining room is filled with light, surrounded by glass walls overlooking the water. We arrived at sunset on a Monday: warm golden light, calm sea, a magical atmosphere. It was impossible not to fall in love with the place right away.
