Restaurante Casa Rita
Quick Verdict
If the seafood is fresh and cooked properly, you'll go back. The question is whether you're willing to pay for it and sit for 3 hours.
Book if you want to taste what Galician seafood tastes like when someone's actually bothered to source it and cook it right.
About Restaurante Casa Rita
Casa Rita is a marisquería in Baiona that takes Galician seafood seriously. You're eating raw material from the Ría — zamburiñas, centolla, chipirones, mero, rodaballo — cooked without fuss or pretence. The dining room is upscale and intimate without being stuffy. Service moves at the pace of the kitchen, which means you're not rushed through 3 courses in 90 minutes. Reviewers consistently mention the same things: the quality of the raw fish and shellfish, the care in preparation, the wine list that actually rewards exploring, and a staff that treats you like you matter. One regular noted the owner walks you to the door with a handshake — small detail, but it lands. The cocochas (hake cheeks) and albóndiga de centolla (crab meatball) appear in multiple reviews as the dishes that made people remember the meal. Desserts are made in-house. It doesn't function as a pintxos bar or a casual lunch spot. A meal here runs €80–100 per person; consider that the actual price, not a surprise.
What Stands Out
Sourcing from the Ría
Multiple reviewers specifically praised 'mariscos de la Ría' and 'material de primera calidad' (first-rate material). One noted the mero and rodaballo were 'espectaculares' and another described zamburiñas and chipirones as 'maravillosos.' The consistency of praise for raw ingredient quality across 10+ reviews suggests this isn't luck.
Service that doesn't disappear
Reviewers used phrases like 'servicio cuidadoso' (careful service), 'staff were genuinely attentive without being intrusive,' and 'nos trato de maravilla' (treated us wonderfully). One reviewer specifically noted the owner walks you to the door with a handshake, describing this as something they'd never seen before.
Desserts and wine list worth the detour
Tiramisú prepared tableside, tarta de queso called 'absolutely divine,' and empanada described as 'la mejor que he probado' (the best I've ever had) appear across multiple reviews. Wine list described as 'muy grande y completa' (very large and complete) and 'explendida' (splendid).

Yes. Lunch and dinner reservations are recommended. The place fills with groups and tourists, and parking is usually somewhat difficult to find.
€80–100 per person for a full meal with wine. One reviewer noted 'el precio en consonancia con la calidad' (the price matches the quality), but another flagged it as expensive relative to competitors. You're paying for Ría seafood and careful cooking, not the setting.
Plan 2.5 to 3 hours. One reviewer complained about slow service between courses ('three hours for 4 dishes'), though others seemed to expect and enjoy the pace. It's not a quick meal.
The albóndiga de centolla (crab meatball) and cocochas (hake cheeks) appear in multiple reviews as standouts. Mero and rodaballo (both white fish) are described as 'espectaculares.' Finish with the tiramisú or tarta de queso — both are made in-house.
Yes, outdoor seating is available. The dining room is described as 'beautifully decorated' with a 'cosy, quiet, romantic' atmosphere.
