Why go
A central Rimini osteria to consider for a relaxed date, family celebration, or low-key business meal when the goal is a proper sit-down dinner rather than a quick beachside bite. Choose it over casual piadina stops for atmosphere and pacing; cross-shop Abocar Due Cucine for a more creative dinner or Dallo Zio for seafood.
About Osteria io e Simone
Osteria io e Simone is a Rimini restaurant with lunch and dinner service through most of the week. The schedule is Tuesday to Saturday from 12:30–3 PM and 7:30–11 PM, Sunday from 12:30–3 PM, and Monday closed. The dress code is casual, so it is best framed as a direct Rimini dining option rather than a formal occasion restaurant.
If you are comparing places in and around Rimini, Osteria io e Simone can sit alongside other named options such as Abocar Due Cucine, Cà Miriam Piada e Cassoni - Piadineria, Dallo Zio, Osteria de Börg, and Ristorante Marlin. There is no confirmed cuisine, chef, tasting format, price level, awards, seating capacity, or delivery and takeaway service, so decisions should be based on the confirmed hours, casual dress code, and whether those fit your plan.
A Rimini option with lunch, dinner, and a casual dress code
The most reliable reason to consider Osteria io e Simone is practical: it has lunch service Tuesday through Sunday, dinner service Tuesday through Saturday, and a Monday closure. That makes it easier to place in an itinerary than venues with less regular public information, especially if you need to know whether a lunch or dinner window is available before comparing other Rimini restaurants.
Because no information is available here for a tasting menu, chef profile, specific dishes, prices, awards, or room details, it should not be sold as a highly choreographed destination meal. Treat it as a casual-dress Rimini restaurant with known hours. Anyone building a fuller trip can cross-check the wider city options in Pearl's Rimini restaurants guide, then choose based on the confirmed schedule and the kind of evening they want.
Who should choose it over Rimini's easier alternatives
Choose Osteria io e Simone if the hours work for your plans and you want a casual-dress restaurant in Rimini. Consider other nearby dining options if you need a specific cuisine, a tasting format, a published award trail, a particular price point, or detailed group information, because those details are not available for this listing. For comparison, you might also look at Abocar Due Cucine, Cà Miriam Piada e Cassoni - Piadineria, Dallo Zio, Osteria de Börg, or Ristorante Marlin, depending on what information matters most for the meal.

The take
The Take
The Vibe
Osteria io e Simone sits modestly in Piazzetta Teatini, in a quieter stitch of Rimini's old town, and it reads like a place that already belongs to the neighborhood. The room favours comfort over spectacle: low‑fuss tables, a short seasonal menu, and a focus on regional pantry ingredients create a quietly charming, historically rooted atmosphere. It feels like a well‑kept secret — familiar to regulars and deliberately off the tourist track — where conversation is the dominant sound and the cooking signals respect for tradition rather than showmanship.
Best For
This osteria works best for diners who want an authentic, relaxed taste of inland Romagna rather than a seafront seafood destination. It suits date nights that favour intimacy and low‑key charm, family meals that appreciate generous, ingredient‑driven cooking, and small group dinners where sharing handmade pastas and cured meats is the point. Visitors coming from the coast find it a complementary stop on Rimini's dining map: hearty regional dishes and a seasonal short menu make for a satisfying dinner that rewards those seeking local tradition.
Ordering Tips
Menus at io e Simone adhere to the osteria logic — short, seasonal and anchored in regional tradition — so lean into the house specialties and handmade pastas. Signature plates to try include Tagliatelle al Ragù, Cappellacci, Strozzapreti and Cappelletti en Brodo; the Coniglio Porchettato reflects the kitchen's interest in cured meats and slow‑roasted preparations. Expect dishes that highlight quality flour, lard and aged cheese, and order a few plates to share so you can sample the breadth of the Romagna pantry represented here.

Restaurant context
How It Compares
Osteria io e Simone is the safer middle-ground choice for a central Rimini meal when the group wants an osteria setting rather than a quick stop or a more ambitious creative dinner. Abocar Due Cucine sits in the higher €€€ creative bracket, so choose it when the meal is the main event and the budget allows. For a less formal local meal, Osteria de Börg is the value play at €, especially if the brief is Romagna cooking rather than a broader central osteria experience.
For seafood, Dallo Zio is the clearer comparison at €€ and makes more sense when the table wants fish or a coastal-feeling dinner. Ristorante Marlin is another Rimini alternative to check for a sea-leaning night, while Cà Miriam Piada e Cassoni - Piadineria is better treated as a casual daytime or quick-meal option, not a substitute for a seated special-occasion dinner.
Booking difficulty is listed as easy here, which gives Osteria io e Simone an edge for travelers making plans close to the meal. Abocar Due Cucine is the one to prioritize for a splurge, Dallo Zio for seafood value, Osteria de Börg for a lower-cost Romagna meal, and Cà Miriam when speed matters more than atmosphere.
