Osteria "La Gassa d'Amante" In

26/10/2024: In a low season period (October 25th) we decide to sit in the renowned venue. The fact of finding another couple in the restaurant makes us console ourselves that perhaps given the very low turnout we would have enjoyed excellent service. Waiters quite helpful. While sitting at the table, the foot of the table was a bit wobbly but the problem was immediately remedied with a napkin to support it. Having ordered two pizzas, a 66 beer and a water at the end of dinner we head towards the cash register. Receipt? 3.50 per person cover charge (questionable in low season but still reported on the menu) we find ourselves asking for explanations for some additional items reported on the receipt. Then even reading carefully the water (750 bottle) which was marked at €3.50 we find it double spread on the receipt. Pointing out the fact to the cashier after some small squabbles where he almost claimed that if there were two bottles of water marked, we had certainly drank two bottles and despite the invitation to go and check on the table that we had actually consumed only one, he threw the 3.50 on the counter almost as if to say "stingy, here's the 3.50". The other couple also had some arguments with the staff during dinner and I can't imagine the moment they would arrive at the cash register. Sin. The place is worth it, but the staff and management are not.

13/10/2024: Beach front restaurant with prices closer to those of Milan than Sicily. Food was very good (seafood pasta dish). Service was correct but lacked emotion and a smile 😃
