Le mille e una notte In Lampedusa e linosa

Disappointment after so many expectations... What a shame! I had enthusiastically followed the episode of "4 Ristoranti" filmed in Lampedusa and was rooting for this place, so much so that I wanted to try it as soon as I arrived on the island. I even got my wife and friends involved: there were ten of us, ready for a great experience. Unfortunately, we were disappointed. The house mixed antipasto (I don't remember the exact name) was mediocre, characterless, almost anonymous. One of us ordered the raw shrimp: five peeled shrimp, fresh but served without any accompaniment or creativity, for €35—far too much for what we got. The fish main courses, at €45, also failed to impress: no memorable flavor, no special attention paid. They knew we were a group of "almost fans" of the show, and we were told the chef would stop by to say hello, but she never showed up. Maybe because we had expressed some disappointment, but it would have taken very little to redeem the evening — even just a gesture of courtesy. A real shame. Sometimes television creates expectations that are not reflected in reality. I hope that quality and attention to the customer return to the center of the experience. Giuseppe

A unique and unforgettable experience, with extremely kind and knowledgeable staff. Fresh and exquisite fish. Wonderful and evocative location. Many compliments to the chef who surprised us with an entrée of spectacular au gratin oysters. We will definitely be back. From Angelica and Davide in Verona. <3

great environment impeccable service, maybe I don't really appreciate octopus but mine was inedible, tough and seemed raw! I repeat that I probably have no experience with fresh octopus! For the rest everything was good! I found the price excessive

We visited this restaurant on the third evening of our stay in Lampedusa because on the second evening we went without a reservation and they did not seat us even though there were many tables still to be cleared where customers had already finished dinner, however we were told that they were booked but we went a little later and they were empty, instead we went to dinner we had spaghetti with squid ink and pasta with red mullet, good dishes, but comparable to others tasted on the island. To drink a bottle of water, the place clean beautiful and elegant good service. At the time of the bill we paid 63 euros a price in my opinion exaggerated for only two first courses consumed, in addition I wanted to pay with the American Express card and the lady who was at the cashier replied that she did not accept it because the commissions were too high, I can justify the refusal from a trattoria, but in a restaurant like this of medium-high range I do not think you can refuse to provide a service to the customer to avoid paying a commission of 1.5%, my personal experience overall did not thrill me I had higher expectations, I will definitely not return

In the Lampedusa panorama, we found ourselves in a welcoming place, with excellent cuisine. Delicious tasting of appetizers, to try without a doubt the pasta with red mullet ragù and sublime cassata and almond sweets. To try without a shadow of a doubt

Fabulous location, especially in the cave where we ate, romantic atmosphere. Impeccable and kind service. The food deserved a standing ovation…next year we will definitely be back for the next vacation…all-female staff and compliments to everyone.

My boyfriend and I came a few days ago and we were pleasantly surprised. Expectations were already high having seen the episode of four restaurants, but once we entered we were transported to a unique and rare atmosphere. Beyond the structure of the restaurant itself which is dug into the rock, the dining room staff has always been impeccable, both in the description of the menu and in the support for the choice of dishes, as there is an embarrassment of choice. Lampedusa certainly offers many attractions that deserve to be visited and discovered, and in our opinion, the "One Thousand and One Nights" is one of these. We hope to be able to return as soon as possible.

Mangiare male a Lampedusa è difficile, la "competizione" culinaria è quindi su un livello già alto in partenza..a fare la differenza quindi sono i dettagli e soprattutto la passione. Entrambi fattori esternamente presenti in questo ristorante dove ci sono stato tante volte e non mi hai mai, sottolineo mai, deluso, anzi, ogni volta un tripudio di bontà e qualità, di fantasia ed abbondanza che subito dopo non vedo l'ora già di ritornarci.. ho provato quasi tutto ma il plauso va agli anticipasti (per me da stella Michelin) ed ai primi squisiti, squisiti! Raccomandato e raccomando una cena da loro! Brava Rossella in cucina, Serena in sala e tutto lo staff! A presto!❤️
