Asterix — Restaurant in Cùllieri/Cuglieri

I had possibly the worst italian food i have ever tasted here. The warning signs were apparent when ordering our drinks, the waiter went in with a very hard sell on the bottles of wine (which you woyld when you are selling €5 bottles of wine for €16!!) after asking twice for the house white wine a jug of yellow/orange liquid was bought out to us, it almost tasted like cider and certainly not wine it was foul. In his credit the waiter replaced it without argument and the bottle of wine he bought out was the nicest part of the meal! My starter of insalata caprese came out swimming in olive oil! On closer inspection the chopped tomatoes were sat on cheap, pre-sliced, processed and rubbery mozzarella it had some basil chopped over it and for some reason what looked like dried herbs?? We also ordered prawn and zucchini pasta, this was the most edible part of the meal but consisted of plain pasta with cooked zucchini and a chopped up langoustine being tipped over it. There was no evidence of it being in any real sauce apart from the cooking juices and some of the pasta was just plain and dry. We both had pizzas my wife had prosciutto with mushrooms and it came out almost soaking wet and devoid of any flavour with cheap ham having been used rather than decent prosciutto that just contributed to the liquid that had soaked into the pizza. I had a spicy sausage pizza that whilst again consisted of a cheap spicy sausage rather than an authentic local one was pleasant for the first couple of slices. However as the pizza cooled the cheap cheese started to congeal into lumps within oil again making the meal inedible. We were offered no money off our bill and the waiter seemed aware that the food was of an appalling standard as he could not stop apologising. I would strongly recommend not wasting your money at this rip off...

The food here is subpar. The frittura mista has a thick batter and is heavily/deep fried. The pizzas are okay but the kiosk across the road have much better ones the ice creams in the gelateria are stale and expensive. the smallest ball cost €2. They couldn’t make it smaller if they tried. No offer of an after meal drink which is normal around here. There are several waitresses who are clearly untrained. The manager just berates and shouts at them. They try hard but have little direction. Chips arrived undercooked. Food arrived after one hour and 45 minutes of waiting. There were perhaps no more than 15 to 20 customers in the restaurant. no apology was given. No one asked what we thought of our meal. No one seemed to care. We will not be going again. The price here is a circa 25% premium to the kiosk which does not have the same level of sophistication in theory, but given all of the above, the premium is certainly...

Non mi piace mai dare recensioni negative, ma purtroppo l'esperienza di ieri è stata veramente negativa. Abbiamo scelto questo ristorante leggendo le recensioni e vedendo le foto dei piatti. Ci accomodiamo e fin qui tutto bene. Il cameriere ci da un tavolo nella sala interna con una bella vista sulla scogliera e sul mare. Ci porta delle olive, delle bruschette e dell'ottimo pane fatto da loro. Ancora tutto ok. Ordiniamo il tris di mare, uno spaghetto cozze, arselle e bottarga e una linguina al granchio. Partiamo dagli antipasti, per 20 euro a persona: insalata di mare dozzinale non fresca, moscardini in sugo freddo e un paio di fette di salmone adagiate sull'insalata. Li abbiamo mangiati ma non valevano neanche la metà dei 20 euro. E poi arrivano i primi. Capiamo dal tavolo vicino che non troveremo le cozze negli spaghetti, ma a noi non è stato detto dal cameriere. Vedo arrivare il cameriere con il piatto degli spaghetti arselle e bottarga e già da lontano noto qualcosa di strano: i gusci bianchissimi delle arselle. Mi arriva il piatto e le arselle che ci sono negli spaghetti non appartengono ai gusci che trovo in mezzo alla pasta....ho mangiato qualche quintale di arselle in vita mia. In più sotto gli spaghetti c'è una strana brodaglia scura. Risultato: spaghetti crudi, brodaglia che sa di vino non sfumato, arselle probabilmente surgelate e gusci dei quali non oso immaginare la provenienza. Faccio notare al cameriere che quelle arselle le può provare a propinare a qualcun altro, non a un sardo. Piatto da buttare. Le linguine al granchio invece erano altrettanto crude, il sugo era acido e il "granchio", ammesso che fosse granchio, era una poltiglia stracotta. Piatto da buttare. Chiediamo il conto e almeno non ci vengono addebitati i primi. Pagato ce ne andiamo con poche scuse da parte del personale del locale, con un malumore che non avevo da anni e con la pancia mezza vuota. Pessima esperienza, in certi casi sarebbe preferibile che venisse detto chiaramente quali ingredienti e piatti si hanno a...
