Prandiu — Restaurant in Crabonaxa/Villasimius

“Street Food? More Like Back Alley Fiasco”

If patience is a virtue, we must've achieved sainthood during our visit — we waited over an hour while watching table after table dine, pay, and vanish into the afternoon like culinary Houdinis. Meanwhile, we sat... and sat... and sat, growing hungrier than a seagull at a hotdog stand.

Curious (and borderline delirious from starvation), we finally approached the staff, only to discover the plot twist: our order was never sent to the kitchen. Not lost. Not delayed. Simply never existed in the culinary realm. A ghost order, if you will.

The manager offered a mild shrug of regret, the kind usually reserved for spilling a drop of coffee, not for forgetting to feed paying humans. Desperate for anything edible, we requested calamari as a quick fix. What arrived—eventually—was a plate of rubberized ocean sadness that had all the texture of a chewed eraser. And to add insult to indigestion, it arrived with our main order. So much for a "quick bite."

When the food finally graced the counter, it was left there unattended like an abandoned suitcase. After realizing our server had no intention of moving it the remaining six feet to our table, we retrieved it ourselves... only to discover it wasn’t even the complete order.

Now here’s where the experience really soured: not a single proactive apology, not a complimentary item, not even a token olive of remorse. We actually had to ask for a discount — something we never do. The owner had to be summoned like a reluctant genie and reluctantly offered a modest reduction after what felt like a hostage negotiation.

And the kicker? They proudly label themselves as “street food.” Judging by the cardboard serving trays, flavorless fare, and chaotic service, it might be more accurate to say this food fell through the cracks of the street into the sewer. We weren’t the only ones unimpressed — you could hear murmurs of discontent from other tables.

Avoid unless you're doing a fast for spiritual enlightenment… or just want to test the limits of your patience and...

Prandiu in Villasimius is a clean and tidy restaurant with a pleasant atmosphere. The staff are very welcoming and friendly, making you feel comfortable from the moment you arrive. Service was efficient and courteous, which added to the overall positive impression.

I ordered the Su Mari, a mix of fried seafood. While the portion was decent and the seafood was fresh enough, the dish itself was quite ordinary. There wasn’t much that stood out in terms of flavor or presentation. You only get a small piece of lemon on the side, which felt a bit minimalist. For fried seafood, I expected at least a house-made sauce or dip to come with the dish — something like tartar or even a spicy touch. Unfortunately, any sauce comes at an extra charge, which seems a bit stingy for this type of meal.

Overall, it’s a decent option if you’re nearby and looking for a clean spot with good service. But if you’re hoping for memorable seafood, Prandiu might not leave a strong impression. It’s fine, but nothing to go out of...

Good food. Very poor service. We ordered 7 different things for 5 people, because we were quite hungry and happy to pay more. Despite most waiters waiting idle, you have to fill a paper form to order but the system is ambiguous - even the waiter to which we gave it got confused. The place was mostly empty but we had to wait a lot to get food. Kids were hungry so I kindly asked to serve as soon as some food was ready - and almost all food was ready in the kitchen, we could see it. Still we had to wait. When finally the first tray came out, nobody delivered it, so I (ironically) asked if I had to serve my table - while four waiters were there idle looking at me. The senior waiter told me to deliver it myself (??). Which I did. Then other two trays arrived and one order was wrong. But they quickly replaced it. It was a puzzling experience. Among the waiters, only the lady was serving like you see in every...
