Ristorante la Cantoniera In Belpasso

22/05/2026: Dinner for my birthday. Booked via the form on their website, which asks us to indicate any intolerances/allergies (I'm writing this down because it will be crucial later). We decided to do the €130 raw fish menu for a couple, which consists of nine courses of raw fish, specifically chosen by the chef. We wanted to follow it with a first course each, thinking we'd still be hungry afterward. The waitress advised us to decide later, and she was right, because we were "satisfied." At this stage, too, we were asked about any allergies/intolerances (and we mentioned them, as we had done when booking). The problems arose during the courses. On two different courses (the final tuna tartare, for sure, and the cod sashimi, or some other fish I can't remember), I found some scales and immediately reported it. The response was "ah," not an "excuse me," but a "we'll do it again," or "we'll bring something else." Nothing at all. Both on the first and second occasion. Oh well, I think to myself, they'll offer us a dessert, a liqueur to apologize... But what I think was even worse was the tuna tartare (the last course), which arrived with a peach sauce that the waitress was about to pour upon serving, even though, as I mentioned before, we'd been told we were allergic to it! Luckily, it was stopped in time thanks to our promptness, and again, no apologies or anything. The sauce wasn't replaced with anything else, with complete disregard. I think you expect more from a Michelin-starred restaurant. It's a shame because I certainly found the ingredients excellent, as well as the attention to detail in the dishes. Total spent €195 with a bottle of wine and two desserts. When paying "in cash," the waitress hesitated for a tip, which in other cases I would have gladly left, but given the issues presented and highlighted and no way to apologize, we preferred not to leave anything. I don't usually leave negative reviews, because I usually point them out when there are problems. But here, we've never had any complaints, even though we first highlighted the scales and then the sauce issue.
