Locanda di mare In Amantea

A very welcoming and elegant restaurant, with a refined and pleasant atmosphere. Despite our late reservation for a large group (there were 25 of us), the restaurant was accommodating: we had initially booked for 1:30 PM but later asked to extend our reservation to 2:15 PM, and we were met with no problem. Upon our arrival, a room was reserved for us, although we were divided into four tables, an understandable choice to better manage such a large group. The service staff were always very kind, but unfortunately the wait was truly excessive: it took us over four hours to finish the meal. During the service, several bottles of wine ran out, forcing us to change labels several times and mix three or four different wines. Dessert was also a small disappointment: the tiramisu cream had run out, and some desserts arrived presumably hastily prepared, with the ladyfingers still quite hard. That said, the quality of the food was excellent, as was the atmosphere and the welcoming atmosphere. For this very reason, we believe the restaurant has great potential, but that the service and organization, especially with large groups, could be improved.
