05/02/2025: Rustic place, good dishes, slightly excessive prices
10/01/2025: After years I returned to Uncle Bruno's island.
Given that I stopped going there because I found it expensive for value for money.
Years later, nothing has changed.
The location hasn't changed, we went to eat together for a meal.
Much service to discuss, draft beer of only one quality, waiter arguing with a customer? Not even.
Sweet? Nothing special and I believe that not all of them are homemade and I say: pizza, dessert, drink (some beer, some coke, some water and some house wine) coffee = 27 euros ... it seems expensive to me!
For the record, the pizza is good!
The dessert we say "NI".
I think I will never go there with my family again, and if friends ask me to go out to eat I will decline the invitation.
N.B.
I don't talk nonsense... the discussion took place between your waiter and the diner in front of me.
The pre-pizza appetizer was of average quality. The chips were a small plate for every 4/6 people.
If you prepare the desserts yourself, accept advice and revisit them because time changes... the price, if you will, from my point of view is exaggerated.
If you like the location, that's fine, but I say that the customers must also like it. Then for a pizzeria to have only one beer on tap seems a bit small to me.
Returning to the cost: I understand everything,
Management costs, raw material costs, taxes, duties and various duties have a strong impact but I remain of my opinion that going to a restaurant is a luxury for us.
Example: basic salary around 1500.00 a family of 4 spending 104 euros is equal to 7%, and they ate a pizza!
I make my own tray of 4 portions at home with Zola and porcini mushrooms, total cost including Leffe beer, pizza, tiramisu (which you dream of) etc. I don't go over 25.00 euros in total.
I gladly decline the invitation to return to her and I'm staying at my house!
Don't answer me that nothing changes anyway and believe me the various cooking programs have confused the ideas of many restaurateurs.
When I stopped coming to you it was because you made me pay after a dinner with my wife, including a starter and side dish topped with a bottle of water and Pinot grigio wine, I repeat I paid 3 thousand lire for a coffee and 6 thousand lire for a taste of grappa, total for 2 coffees and a coffee killer 12 thousand lire.....
My family has always been in the catering business with excellent results and we brothers have always worked in the public sector since 1960... I know what I'm talking about when I approach this market.
I understand that times change but sometimes for the better....we had the management of the cellar with exaggerated costs today with the suppliers of wines and spirits on the daily menu there is no longer even a warehouse, certainly many things have changed even in worse but the sacrifices of that time are no longer made today.
The kitchen today has timetables. At the time we stopped at closing... zero rest days...
The closure was subject to authorization.... if you want I'll go ahead but I know that you have experienced the entire evolution of the system.
This is why I say that the prices are expensive....there is no longer the right proportion.
I would add, in addition to having studied, my father sent me to Castione in the summer to be a "Comì", then a waiter and then move on to be a waiter and end up being room manager...always in the court of other teachers. .all this in the summer periods after school.
A fact: my first coffee I was standing on an upturned box to reach it... I was 7 years old...
