Located in the heart of Riccione on Via Adriatica, Squisita - Da Manuel stands out as a true artisan gem for lovers of authentic Romagnola piadina. This intimate piadineria crafts its offerings with a focus on traditional flavors and fresh, high-quality ingredients that instantly transport you to the culinary roots of Emilia-Romagna.
The menu is a vibrant celebration of piadine and cassoni, each bursting with generous fillings that customers rave about. The Piadina Romagnola itself is a perfect foundation—soft yet slightly crisp, harmonizing beautifully with savory options like Piadina Con Porchetta Artigianale and the fresh, creamy contrast of Piadina Con Stracchino, Rucola e Pomodoro Fresco. These highlight the brand’s dedication to authentic, balanced flavors.
Dive deeper into the Piadine Speciali for a curated experience: the DUETTO Stracchino e Gratinati offers a luscious interplay of creamy cheese textures; the SQUISITA combines prosciutto crudo, mozzarella, crisp salad, and ripe tomatoes with finesse; while the CHIOTTA introduces a rustic punch with herbs, sausage, and onion. Traditionalists will appreciate the NOSTRANA and TRADIZIONALE options, each balanced to honor classic Romagna flavors.
Not to be missed are the cassoni, which have earned a cult following. These stuffed flatbreads come loaded with ingredients ranging from mozzarella and tuna with green or red mushrooms to the indulgent “4 Formaggi” combining mozzarella, gorgonzola, pecorino, and scamorza. Customer reviews emphasize the incomparable size and richness of the fillings—“giganteschi” and packed with far more than the typical thin layers found elsewhere. The cassone with sausage, mozzarella, and potatoes is often highlighted as an addictive must-try, while the combo of tomato, mozzarella, spianata, and gorgonzola dazzles with bold, well-balanced flavors.
For those seeking variety, the option to upgrade to whole wheat dough for a modest €0.50 enriches the sensory experience with a nuttier, more wholesome crust. This detail reflects Squisita - Da Manuel’s artisanal approach to craftsmanship and guest satisfaction.
Though the shop itself is compact, requiring advance ordering for takeout, this small scale only adds to the authenticity and freshness of the offerings. The staff is described as friendly and knowledgeable, offering thoughtful recommendations that enhance the experience. Pricing remains highly competitive, making it a preferred stop for regulars who can’t resist the hearty portions and true Romagna spirit served here.
Overall, Squisita - Da Manuel delivers a piadina and cassone experience that is both heartfelt and indulgent. Whether you come craving a classic stuffed flatbread or a piadina that plays with fresh, simple ingredients in masterful harmony, this Riccione favorite exemplifies artisanal quality and local tradition with every bite.
