Caffè Via XX In Alghero

21/07/2024: Veniamo in questo ristorante e albergo da moltissimi anni e ci siamo sempre trovati divinamente, i proprietari sono persone eccezionali e la loro cucina lo è altrettanto. Questa sera in particolare abbiamo preso un antipasto di cruditè richiesto e composto da noi (personale esperto e super disponibile) di 5 ostriche, gamberi rossi e scampi, abbinati al tris di pesci marinari (spada, ricciola, tonno). Non ho mai mangiato crudi così buoni e di qualità. Come portata principale abbiamo preso la frittura di calamari e gamberi, ottima. Il tutto accompagnato da due calici di vino. Abbiamo poi concluso con la seadas e la crema catalana, entrambe squisite e un caffè. Per questa cena incredibile abbiamo speso 154€ (con in più uno sconto).

15/06/2024: We came here for coffee at lunchtime and found the view and location so fantastic that we reserved a table for dinner three days later. At the same table. Everything worked out. Then the waitress came to us. Very personable, funny, and very warm. That completely convinced me and I felt like I was in great hands. But when we ordered, she said she could recommend something else. The catch of the day, everything fresh. I was wondering if the other one wasn't fresh (we wanted mixed grilled seafood and fish for 22 euros per person). Of course we were convinced and took what she recommended. Both. We got a platter with a very small fish, 4 shrimps, two giant prawns and a few pieces of tuna steak. (It's all cold, by the way) We were disappointed when we saw the portion because it was clear to us from the start that it was far too little for both of us. But when we paid we almost fell over. We paid almost 130 euros. For a non-satiating fish platter. General for all holidaymakers in Sardinia: never order the same thing for two people. They put everything on a small platter and sell it as two dishes even though it would actually be perfect for one person and this platter cost a whopping 45 euros per person... actually really unbelievable. And there is also the realization that unfortunately many people are not “just that” nice and warm... A pity... But the view... a dream.
