Ristorante Africa da Bruno In Castelvetrano

01/01/2025: We had dinner on New Year's Eve at this place, chosen precisely because I had known it for some time and I didn't want to make a mistake. The appetizers and first course turned out to be very good. As regards the choice of the second course, we did not understand why a land dish was included in a fish-based menu. In any case, as I also frankly told the lady who was taking care of the tables, the veal they had chosen was too fat, making it difficult to even cut it to try to discard the fat since my partner doesn't particularly like it. But even at the other tables I saw that many people had not managed to eat it at all (a real shame). The thing I wanted to say is that we deeply regretted having to leave just before midnight to be able to have the toast in the street, given that the place had not organized the toast (despite the €75 per person....) . It wasn't nice to see this stampede of people who, close to midnight, left the place to go to the square, when everyone could easily have remained seated and received a simple glass offered by the house (three bottles of sparkling wine would have been enough given that we were less than 30 people). I am also writing this on behalf of the people who were sitting at other tables because while we went to the square (necessarily close to each other given the circumstance), the comments were the same, i.e. shared in finding the induction to leave the place in bad taste to have to toast outside. The alternative was to specifically get a bottle and pay for it. But I would like to repeat that after a couple pays €150 for dinner (including only one bottle of wine offered by them), two flutes of sparkling wine offered would certainly not have damaged the economy of the place. Instead we were offered the classic shot at the end of the meal, we opted for the Zibibbo. But New Year's Eve has its magic and this time Zibibbo didn't have the same value. I always want to give objective reviews. The dishes were very good, I put photos of everything so you can also see the mise en plat. I hope that this bitter note of mine regarding sparkling wine can be an inspiration for the managers for next New Year's Eve. Happy New Year, from a customer who has known you for years and who has appreciated you for years.
