Il Maso In Sedico

06/01/2026: Amazing food. Very attentive service. I would give 6 stars on service if possible.

06/01/2026: We visited this restaurant on New Year's Eve. It's important to note: it's not our first time here; we have a house nearby, and we've always had a great time. The food is good, the atmosphere is refined and welcoming, and the staff are always friendly. For these very reasons, we chose it to celebrate New Year's Eve. For the occasion, we were offered a smaller menu, with some seafood options (from the mountains?). When asked about the provenance of the fish, the waiter had to go to the kitchen to find out, which was a bit perplexing: it's hard to accept that someone doesn't know where the produce you're serving comes from, especially for dishes like €35 lobster linguine. The final answer was "American"—a rather generic definition, considering how "big" America is. It's also disappointing not to find a single one of their classic dishes (cheese, pastin, or polenta). The prices, decidedly higher than usual, were still acceptable, considering it was a New Year's Eve party. What really left us perplexed, however, was the handling of midnight. At 11:30 PM, noticing that some people were already leaving, we asked if there was a free toast. The response was that "they were considering offering something," a rather odd statement half an hour before midnight. After about ten minutes, we were informed that, to toast, we would have to order and pay. Midnight arrived without any countdown, without a moment of sharing or a small symbolic gesture. Let's start by saying that we know the restaurant's atmosphere well and weren't expecting disco music, but at least a minimum amount of attention to celebrate the arrival of the new year was welcome. The evening ended with a bill of around €80 per person. Frankly, for that kind of money, offering at least a glass of prosecco would have been a much-appreciated gesture, fitting for the occasion. It's a shame, because it's still a restaurant where the food is good, but the New Year's Eve experience definitely fell short of expectations.
