Sala Ricevimenti Simposio In Cagnano varano

10/09/2025: The service was a bit arrogant and ambiguous, from the waiter's rude irony when asked for directions to the stairs: "They're right there, it seems pretty obvious..." (... never mind, we were happy to joke about it, but in any case, you never know how the person in front of you will take it, and this therefore denotes unprofessional service), to the advice of the waitress who recommended the orecchiette instead of the spaghetti with clams on the menu, calling it "a garlic and oil pasta with clams and nothing more"... (very strange to speak badly of a dish on the menu that you yourself propose... Perhaps the real purpose was to guide us towards choices that would be more convenient for the kitchen staff at that moment? Moral of the story: I feel like I'm being mocked.) For the rest, aside from the high amount of oil in the troccoli allo scoglio, the food was good and the pasta was homemade to perfection. The location is exceptional, of course, which perhaps inflates the prices a bit, although they are in line with other restaurants in the area. Unfortunately, however, for the reasons listed above, it is not a place I would recommend or return to.
