Ristorante Pizzeria Laghetto In Carlazzo

27/08/2024: We came to the restaurant for my fiancé’s birthday a month or so ago - we booked the set menu with a wine pairing in the cellar. My fiancé is a coeliac and very helpfully Luigi offered to make the entire set menu gluten free to suit her allergies. The food was excellent, as was the service and overall experience in the cellar. Luigi and the staff were also very generous with the wine pairings (and also gave us an extra glass or two!)

22/08/2024: I was looking forward to eating here but came away somewhat disappointed. The ambience is nice and waiting staff were friendly. I asked for some olive oil to go with the bread but was told they don’t have olive oil from the kitchen and to get some I would need to buy a whole bottle from them. Never has this happened…seriously just a couple of table spoons is not possible? Bread and olive oil is one of life’s simple pleasures, please rethink your policy in this. Overall the food was good, though have experienced better in Italy and globally. However one of the dishes was a bit too salty for my liking. I wasn’t able to eat it all and shared my feedback when asked how the dish was. Shortly after, head chef Luigi then came over to tell me the sauce was fine, he had tried it, there was nothing wrong with it, it must be me and that I wouldn’t be receiving a discount. I hadn’t even hinted at a discount and wasn’t expecting one, I merely shared honest feedback on my personal preferences. The chef’s comments were unnecessary and made me feel a little awkward. The restaurant is a nice 30 min walk from the main town centre if you don’t have a car and fancy a stroll. Overall not a terrible meal and experience, but I was disappointed and wouldn’t return.
