Pizzeria O sole mio In Sant'egidio alla vibrata

It's a pizzeria but also an excellent restaurant

I returned after many years with my girlfriend, having fond memories of the past, but after being there twice within several months, I feel (temporarily) like I don't want to return. I could sum it all up as the service being far too disappointing for their standards, as one waiter for that number of diners proved to be far too small. As soon as we were seated, we had to wait several minutes for the menu, which is actually displayed entirely verbally by the staff (I understand not wanting to invest in paper, which can get damaged and is expensive, but then you should get digital tools, which are one-offs). They also do it too quickly and reductively, almost as if they were saying, "Hurry up, I have other things to do." This way, you don't get a clear idea of ​​the prices and what the restaurant actually offers. This lack of staff has also led to some orders being misplaced and service slowing down (two hours for an appetizer, half a meter of pizza, and 14 arrosticini seems insane to me). Otherwise, regarding the quality of the products and the relaxed, informal atmosphere, there's nothing to complain about... CONGRATULATIONS for preserving all of this! Years ago, I went there several times, very happily, but now, given that I've had the same experience twice in a row, several months apart, I don't think I'll be back for a long time.

The food is very good but quite expensive

The pizza by the meter is delicious and super digestible!!! The homemade Ascoli olives are the highlight, truly delicious!! The staff is super friendly, in short, we'll be back!!!!
