Ristorante Ancora — Restaurant in Bardolino

They can’t cook fritto misto - it was that salty that I couldn’t finish this. It was impossible to eat. When the waitress, a tall woman with black hair, asked how did we like it and we said it wasn’t good, she started to say that fritto misto should be like that. It’s my favorite dish and I order this every time in different restaurants and no one made it that salty that it was impossible to eat. Fish was good tho! But ruined. Also the waitress wasn’t polite - she was polite only to my boyfriend and she didn’t even looked at me and literally dropped (!!!) the menu on my side of the table, my glass almost felt down because of this rude action. Didn’t explain anything to me, but was talking only to him. She was so disrespectful and rude. It was my Birthday dinner and I got this kind of service. Another woman, who brought a receipt, was really nice and just because of her I don’t give this place just one star. I hope she's the one who kept the tip we gave her. And btw, a restaurant few steps away makes the perfect fritto misto. And it’s not salty. Just letting know this waitress who was that sure that it’s...

TOURISTS AND JUST PEOPLE ARE CHEATED HERE. Linguine with half a lobster, that's the dish I ordered. Of course I expected to see half a lobster. Instead, they brought me pasta with the remains of a lobster and the skin from the lobster itself. (And the utensils for cleaning lobster were served earlier). There was about 10 grams of lobster meat..., which is sad (such dishes are usually called - pasta with lobster meat, that is, you understand that there will not be half a lobster there). The saddest thing is that the staff saw that I was disappointed and instead of offering a replacement or correcting the situation, they began to argue that lobsters are now small and they also have little meat))) it's funny. I must note that the pasta was tasty, but the overall impression, unfortunately, was very bad. So I have been living in Italy for a long time and I really love this dish, ordering it in different places, I understand that it turned out to be some...

Sadly, I cannot give this place a good review. The only real positive was the waitress. She was very pleasant and helpful. However, we were there for the food. My wife's meal of tagliatelle & mushrooms was OK - maybe a 3/4 out of 5, but, sadly, mine - which was a calzone including mushrooms, artichoke, olive with a mozzarella filling was highly disappointing. It would appear that the mushrooms, artichoke and olives were from tins or jars. They were just not drained properly so there was a soggy mess in the calzone, which just leaked out as soon as it was cut open. Surely you can afford to use fresh mushrooms, or at least drain and/or grill the ingredients to dry them out. Soggy calzone does not do it for me. I hope you improve for the sake of...
