Shangri-la In Castagneto carducci

16/08/2024: Nice enough place with ample parking. Very friendly wait staff. As far as the dishes are concerned, in my personal opinion they could be done much better. As soon as you sit down at the table, the owner welcomes you and explains what the strong points of the menu are. The proposal is a vegan appetizer, a bruschetta with smoked bacon cooked at low temperature, parmesan and balsamic, many choices of side dishes, boneless chicken thighs, rostinciana and pork sausages, cut seasoned in various ways and Irish Angus tomahawks as steaks. Even if it seems reductive that a steak house has only one type of steak, in my opinion it is always better to guarantee good ingredients and a menu that is not too broad. After all, Irish Angus tomahawks are one of the best steaks that exists among the imported ones because they are not too tasty, soft and able to satisfy every type of palate. Among what we ate there were some really good things: the bacon put on the bruschetta and a small piece in the grill was divine, the BBQ sauce reworked with honey and Jack Daniels was very tasty. What makes me leave three stars is the cooking since everything we ate was burnt. By now anyone, even if not an expert griller, knows what the maillard reaction is and that a nice steak, with that aromatic crust, is the decisive extra boost in every bite but if everything is burnt unfortunately what remains in the mouth is only a bitter aftertaste that covers the flavor of the meat. Browsing the reviews with photos I see that sometimes the cooking is perfect while other times the meat is burnt as happened to us, I leave a couple of photos of grilled meat and steak. For the bill, the price of the tomahawk may very well fit and perhaps other things are a little more expensive for the average of restaurants in the same category but in any case the total is adequate.
