Where to eat in Comacchio and along the Sette Lidi

The Comacchio area sets a generous and varied table, one that tells many different stories: the historic, lagoon-bound soul of the town, woven through with canals, bridges and age-old fishing traditions, and the livelier, sea-facing spirit of the Sette Lidi, where the Adriatic sets the pace for both the day and the menu.

Here, the cuisine goes well beyond eel, the undisputed queen of the Valli di Comacchio: expect a whole repertoire of flavours from the sea, from ultra-fresh seafood starters to first courses of handmade pasta with fish-based sauces, from grilled specialities fragrant with smoke to crisp mixed fried fish, best enjoyed with a sea view or overlooking the canals of the old town. Every restaurant, trattoria and fry shop tells its own version of this bond with the water.

And no good meal is complete without a good glass of wine: local wines, born of land poised between plain and coast, pair beautifully with fish dishes, bringing out the delicate flavours of local produce.

From the historic centre of Comacchio, with its trattorias tucked between one bridge and the next, to the restaurants and beach clubs along the Sette Lidi, where lunch often turns into a relaxed moment with the sea in view, the area offers a food scene for every taste and every occasion: a romantic dinner, a family lunch, an evening among friends after a day exploring the Valli or the beach.
