"Absolutely Horrendous - Avoid at All Costs!"
Where do I even begin with this disaster of a place? The owner is an arrogant and greedy individual who clearly has no respect for his staff or customers. We witnessed him unnecessarily humiliate an employee right in front of us – utterly unprofessional and uncomfortable to witness.
The service was abysmal, reflecting the overall poor management. To make matters worse, they closed the kitchen at 3 PM, refusing to serve any more food, yet they had the audacity to forbid us from buying snacks from the establishment next door! The prices were exorbitant, an insult given the atrocious experience.
As if that wasn't enough, when we tried to feed our baby some pre-prepared baby food we brought ourselves, the owner actually had to think twice about whether our infant was "allowed" to eat it there. This level of pettiness and lack of consideration is beyond belief.
I would strongly advise anyone to steer clear of Parad'isula Santa Giulia. Don't waste your money paying for such terrible service and an unwelcoming atmosphere. You're better off getting a sandwich from the snack bar next door...
Read moreMassively racist. As the only people of colour in the restaurant, we were the only ones asked to pay after every round of drinks. When asked, they had no reason for why we were being asked to pay, while no-one else was.
Also, when we arrived at dinner time the previous day, we were the only ones not let into the restaurant, despite there being many free tables. People before and after us, were allowed entry with no reservations.
Having travelled extensively to over a 100 countries, we have never been actively discriminated against in this way.
Avoid this place if you can. There are better places on the beachfront you could go to instead, that aren't racist.
Updated after restaurant (seen in photo) response: we weren't sitting at the bar, but at the tables. You should actually try checking them cameras out as we were the only ones asked to pay. If you were discriminated against, you would also check around you. your response clearly is being defensive rather than introspective. Shows how you treat your customers we came back because we wanted to give you the benefit of the doubt, but won't...
Read moreIt is a dissappointment for me. Today I came here with my family. After getting a response that sunbeds are not available, we just said that we will eat and drink something but we also would like to swim. The young blonde lady approved that and we sat our table. After sitting, another lady who doesnt know english came to our table and tried to take order. We ordered sth to drink and said that we will order sth to eat later on. But they didnt allow us. They said we cant drink, go swimming and come back to eat. But as the blond lady approved that we already took our chairs. I explained that, but the lady who doesnt know english was so rude that she said bye bye bye three times. No need to explain our situation because they are far from understanding it. As a customer coming to a Restaurant and just tried to chill out there, I left there with a huge dissappointment. It is not right to say to a customer bye bye bye three times as if you are kicking me out. Of course the owner of the Restaurant knows better than me, as a person I could only suggest you to train your personnel, with all...
