The story

Quartopiano Rimini: Michelin-Recommended Seafood by Chef Silver Succi

Where the Kitchen Meets Art

Quartopiano, a Michelin Recommended restaurant in Rimini, is the expression of Chef Silver Succi’s deep connection to Romagna. His cooking is a dialogue between sea and land, built on the philosophy of “chilometro buono” – quality ingredients sourced locally and seasonally. The result is seafood cuisine that feels both rooted and inventive.

Chef Succi’s path took him from his birthplace in Forlimpopoli (home of Pellegrino Artusi) to stages with masters like Gualtiero Marchesi and Mauro Uliassi. His dishes show a sense of measure: carpaccio of bonito with almond sauce, cucumber and radish; stuffed red mullet with eggplant, stracciatella and mint; or “pasta battuta risottata” with courgettes and a Rimini-style fish broth. Each plate respects the raw material, letting its character shine.

A Warm Welcome by the Adriatic

The restaurant sits in a modern building steps from the beach, with a Roof Garden terrace for summer evenings. Fabrizio Timpanaro, maître and sommelier since 2009, oversees a wine list of some 800 labels – a carefully curated selection spanning Italian classics, great French houses, and biodynamic newcomers. His hospitality is professional yet genuine, making guests feel at ease.

Quartopiano offers several tasting paths: a seafood menu (€70), a meat option (€60), and a “free hand” degustation (€85) where Chef Succi improvises eight courses. The à la carte also features dishes like linguine with raw and cooked shellfish, or roasted octopus with bell pepper and stracciatella. For a lighter lunch, the weekday buffet (QP Lunch) is a local favourite.

More Than a Meal

Beyond the dining room, Quartopiano extends its craft through catering, private events, and a personal chef service called “Silver at Home.” The team’s passion is evident in every detail – from the elegant interiors to the way they describe each course. As the restaurant puts it, they write stories on plates, not paper, guiding guests to the centre of a unique narrative.

Whether you come for the refined seafood, the impressive wine list, or simply the genuine warmth, Quartopiano delivers an experience that honours tradition while embracing a modern, personal vision.
