La Casitta In La maddalena

I have to laugh at the reviews. Its all about one thing if you really dive in -- the size of the check. And honestly it wasn't extreme considering what they plate. My wife and I had four drinks each (ugh), 10 oysters, 4 langoustine, and 4 shrimp for our appetizers, and then lobster with linguine (wife) and a local fish filet as entrees. The desert was a classic lemon sorbet (it was really hot so it was perfect). The bill was $625. Was it inexpensive --- no, but it was well worth the cost. This 8 or so table restaurant is authentic Mediterean/Italian, charming, and has impeccable service. Its a bonus that one of the primary waiters, Sam, is a Chateau Relais waiter in the Winter. You have to check it out and don't be surprised if Leonardo or Beyonce shows up. This is an extraordinarily special place. It even has a helicopter pad for this tiny spot.
