La Cantina del Sargente In Barano d'ischia

14/03/2025: The broccoli garnish was spectacular. And the lagane pasta with mushrooms and chickpeas is also very delicious. We were not so successful with the arugula risotto, a little too bitter! Of course, both the service and the atmosphere were fantastic 💚

14/03/2025: The place is really well looked after and pleasing to the eye. As for the food, I can only rate the vegetable wok which to our surprise was made up of rice rather than the classic noodles, good but nothing special. The service, however, left us a little disappointed: we arrived at opening time (12, as indicated by Google) and the waitress told us to wait for them to print the menu. We sat outside and started waiting... after more than half an hour they still don't tell us anything. We go in to ask if the menu still needed to be done since we had a plane to catch and I point out that the opening time was 30 minutes past and the owner replies to me in an unsympathetic tone: "in fact we've been open since 12". At the end of lunch, when a couple entered the restaurant while we were paying, the gentleman prohibited the couple from sitting down and told them to wait, complaining to the waitress about people who enter without saying hello. I understand that everyone can have a bad day but I would recommend being a little more smiley and kind because the service has a huge impact on the overall experience.
