Our philosophy

Our home,
for you.

Casa Merida grew out of a habit: adding another leaf to the family table to make room for friends and relatives. In 2021 we decided to make it our work, and this journey began.

The idea is to make you feel at home and on holiday at the same time, with the simplicity of an osteria and ingredients we go looking for ourselves.

"Casa nostra, per Voi". Our home, for you. It is not a slogan; it is how we work every day.

Beach

The sea
in the garden.

Our beach is a quiet, intimate oasis, the sea just a few steps away, as if it were part of the Casa Merida garden.

Parasols, but also Camás: larger, more comfortable cabanas we build by hand, with service at your spot every day.

Cuisine

Fish we go looking for,
our own sea.

Our idea of cooking starts from the simplicity of our grandparents, with the lightness and honesty of the way a mother cooks.

Miriam, mother and Chef Director, always in the dining room telling her story. Bruno, father and seeker of good, honest, sometimes forgotten fish, the innkeeper of another era. Together they make dishes that are simple and true, told up close.

If you would rather not sit down in the restaurant, we bring the plate straight to your umbrella on the beach. At the bar there are always piadine, toasted sandwiches and small bites, for anyone after something simpler.

"I ate really well! Extremely fresh fish, the tartare didn't even need seasoning, the quality of the fish was that good."

Cocktails

Drink well,
on the sand.

Our idea of a bar is the result of a lot of study, research and travel. Serious mixed drinks, served in glassware chosen for them, bringing high-end mixology together with the simplicity of drinking on the sand, at any hour.

Our back bar holds around 130 bottles, selected from among the best in the world.

Filippo, our bar manager, started out studying the raw materials and kept going through endless research and travel: distilleries, labs, big cities and famous cocktail bars, bringing back the fruit of that search every summer.

"Cocktails like real works of art, made and explained with a passion you can feel."

Champagneria

Champagne
with a sea view.

The Champagneria is the cherry on a cake made of a great many sought-out wines. Our wine list is a work sculpted by the endless research of Filippo, our Sommelier, who visits producers and regions every year.

Travelling, seeing, putting your nose in the cellar and in the glass, meeting people, like a chisel searching artfully for the shape within the material.

Ours is a Champagneria by the sea, where you will find plenty of hard-to-find champagne, offered properly and honestly, served in mouth-blown glasses chosen for them.

Art & Atmosphere

A place where every detail
tells you something.

Miriam, an artistic mind in constant evolution, is our Art Director: considered settings, hand-sewn cushions and tailored tablecloths, Faenza ceramics she makes herself. The space is her idea of home made real. On the walls hang signed original paintings by Mauro Masetti, a great Ravenna artist, a friend and a constant presence at Casa Merida.
