Bagni La Padulella In Portoferraio

14/03/2025: It's particularly difficult for me to write a review this time ✍️ because we really enjoyed being here last year. Of course, expectations for this year were correspondingly high. Actually a place where you can expect great cuisine with a reasonable price. This year we came with friends and were unfortunately disappointed. Yes, we are approaching the end of the holiday season and I understand that all employees are longing for the end and are certainly at the end of their tether. At what feels like 150% capacity (inside, in the annex, on the terrace and the tables in front full, with triple occupancy) you are of course already exceeding the limit of the kitchen and the employees. Mistakes tend to happen that never actually happen, but are almost unavoidable given the hectic pace and throughput. Our starters were brought quite quickly. The fried polpo was excellent 😊. Unfortunately, my pasta with tuna and burata was totally over salted. It took about 15 minutes before we got rid of our empty plates (before the empty plates). We then had to wait a relatively long time for the main course (40 minutes) and only 3 out of 4 came. The mixed fish platter was of good quality and the selection was quite okay. The fish was partly cold, partly oversalted, the tubes still had a beak…. Salt would have been great for the entrecote, but there were no cruets at the table and service was not available. My wife's noodles arrived when we had almost finished them all (the service apologized on behalf of the kitchen), which were good quality with the clams, but unfortunately also totally over salted. We would have liked to order another bottle of wine and water, but it was difficult due to the lack of service. Since we had been here for almost 2.5 hours, we decided to go home without dessert, coffee or anything like that. Since we were here last year, we will definitely come back next year, but not this year. It's a shame ☹️
