If I could give BeefBar Porto Cervo zero stars, I would. This was, without a doubt, the worst dining experience of my life. From the moment we stepped in, it was clear that this so-called "luxury" restaurant is nothing but a pretentious facade covering up horrendous food, awful service, and shockingly poor hygiene.
Let's start with the food—calling it low-quality would be an understatement. The steak I ordered was as tough as shoe leather, completely devoid of any flavor, and seemed like it had been sitting in a freezer for weeks before being poorly cooked and served. The side dishes were equally terrible: limp, tasteless, and clearly not fresh. To add insult to injury, the wine had a sour, off-putting taste, like it had been left open for far too long. This is not just bad food, it's downright unacceptable, especially at these prices.
As for the service, it was an absolute disgrace. The waitstaff were rude, arrogant, and completely unprofessional. They seemed more interested in chatting among themselves than attending to their customers.
But the worst part? The cleanliness—or rather, the lack of it. The utensils were not just dirty; they were disgustingly filthy, with visible food remnants clinging to them. The glasses reeked of stale, musty odors, making it impossible to enjoy a drink. It was clear that hygiene is not a priority here, which is not just gross but also completely unacceptable for any dining establishment, let alone one that claims to be upscale.
In conclusion, BeefBar Porto Cervo is nothing short of a nightmare. Poor quality food, revolting service, and shocking cleanliness issues make this place an absolute disaster. Save your time, money, and dignity—stay far away from this restaurant. It is a disgrace to the culinary world, and I wouldn’t wish this experience on my...
Read morelet me start by saying the food is good. not great. coming from new york city we have a beef bar as well as coté, nubiani, Tao, Nobu… all world renowned in their own right. I have never dined at any of the above and been asked to change my clothes, as my partner was mandated to do the moment we stepped into the hotel. coming from the hospitality industry I can say pretentiousness is the least luxurious thing you can do. What makes costa smeralda special is its ‘la dolce vita’ lifestyle. this is not St. tropez but everywhere is getting crowded and it seems the need for such theatrics are deemed necessary by the guest relations teams at Cala Di Volpe. maybe try cervo hotel for dinner where it doesn’t feel like a, excuse my american, “stuffy” business meeting. Though service, as understaffed or illprepared for the evening as they were, was great. A huge shoutout to the servers and bartenders who keep this...
Read moreBeefbar Cala di Volpe delivers a refined and memorable experience in a truly iconic location. The setting is nothing short of stunning, perfectly blending chic elegance with the laid-back charm of Sardinia. The restaurant’s design complements the luxury of Cala di Volpe while maintaining a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere.
As for the food … exceptional. Premium cuts, perfectly cooked, paired with inventive sides and sauces. The menu offers both comfort and sophistication, with impeccable attention to quality and detail. Service was attentive without being overbearing, and the wine selection was on point.
It’s not just a meal, it’s a full experience, and one that fully lives up to the Beefbar name. Whether you’re staying at the hotel or just passing through the area, this spot is well worth a visit.
Note that it’s a lot pricier than most beef bars but...
