Fantasia Pikante Restaurant — Restaurant in Bashkia Sarandë

I went to Fantasia Pikante with a friend for dinner and had an excellent experience from start to finish. The staff were exceptional - friendly, attentive, and impressively multilingual. Our server encouraged me to practice my Albanian with him and was incredibly patient, even though his English was flawless.

The food was absolutely top-notch and very reasonably priced. We ordered a variety of dishes to try as much as possible, and every single one was delicious. Even the complimentary bread and salsas were full of flavour and beautifully presented.

The highlight of the meal was the mixed seafood grill, featuring octopus, cuttlefish, prawn and squid. Everything was fresh, perfectly cooked and bursting with flavour. Even the chips stood out - crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and seasoned just right.

We also ordered the fried seafood mix and a huge mixed salad which is a great combo to add together. As starters I tried the Seafood soup and we had the oven baked feta cheese. At the end you always get a little fruit selection for free. Do come and give the place a chance I think you wont be...

If you can’t handle an honest review, then don’t ask for one. We left your restaurant in a good mood—until your waiter chased us down to berate us for giving a 4-star review instead of 5. With a disdainful eye roll and an aggressive tone, he demanded: ‘Why not 5 stars?!’ Here’s why: Because that’s what our experience deserved. The food, the service, the overall vibe—none of it earned perfection. We’ve been to some nicer places. And frankly, after his shameless guilt trip, I regret not rating it lower. The worst part? It’s clear his ‘service’ was never genuine—just a transparent hustle for a fake 5-star rating. No sincerity, no professionalism, just greed masked as hospitality. Pathetic. Awkward. And utterly...
