Ristorante Sa' Colonia - Ristorante tipico a base di pesce — Restaurant in Domus De Maria

We passed by this place and ate the following (pls see the pics + bread but i will come to the bread at the end). Before we ordered our food, we asked if there is grilled fish, lady informed us that there is no grilled one piece fish but they have grilled sea platter, 100 gram costs 5 euros. Waitress informed us about that fish and some kind of mixture of sea animals are part of this 100gr/ 5 euro option. I asked if they can only mix the fish they have, and clearly stated 300-400 grams, depending on what they have. When the food arrived, waitress apologized and told me that “this is 500 grams sorry”, i said no problem and that was it. That fish you see is cooked with a lot of salt, obviously a speciality here. I myself dont mind the salty fish but it was almost inedible, just too much salt, cannot be removed from the meat of the fish (was terrible) also, i could not understand why she chose a weight of ~500 grams, single fish… was not this supposed to be a platter? She should have ASKED if 500 gram is ok or not! When i was trying to order, i was told that one piece grilled fish (grilled fish options in the menu) were not available, and that is why she suggested and we ordered 300-400 grams mixed fish which turned out to be 500 grams salted one piece sea bass. Once the food was finished we asked the lady if she can bring the tiramisu we ordered but she said she forgot (it looked like she was playing a game with her phone :) which is not a problem and immediately brought it. She asked then how the food was. When we told her that the food was salty, she informed us via translator that this is a normal cooking for this region (or this particular order/ fish). I wish we knew about this salt thing… I think as a tourist, i would not go there because we had the feeling that we were given what we clearly did NOT (not half a kg fish) order. There are two cute dogs there though. Thus, too expensive and bad feelings. We now read the comments of the owner, we had just another surprise. Decide yourself. Regarding the bread thing, look at the reciept, we paid 54 euro and when we were first seated, we were given a basket of bread, just bread. For a 55 euro total bill, would not it be feasible to serve your customers just anything with that bread? A couple of tomato or whatever is locally available and cheap, i even had to ask for olive oil such that i can make the bread softer. Overall, just too expensive for this quality. A note to the owner: we recommend you do not attack us as it was the case for some other customers. I hope what we write will really be...

42 Euro would be ok but 84.5 Euro are too much:

Atmosphere + service are good. The challenge was the gram count of the plate with mixed grilled fish.. 49 Euro for 750 grams for one person was not indicated on the menu. We expected 200 to 300 grams and will clarify next time to be sure. In addition, the 49 Euro only comprise only the fish without any any side dish for one person.

In addition the salomon pasta (15 Euro) as well as the caprese (12 Euro) were good. The price was quite high for us but ok.

Now let us play the perfection game: Substract one star for every challenging point, which we like to play in northern Europe to improve service quality:

1. Improve transparency about how many grams of fish will be served, if the price depends on the gram. My wife ordered a plate with mixed grilled fish and expected a normal portion for one person. Instead, she got beside a whole fish another small fish as well as a prawn with no side dish.
2. Make clear wish fish will be served on the mixed fish plate
3. Offer a combination of fish + side dish, which is typical innmany countries

As I pointed out, the experience was overall good but the price could be more human, if the portions of grilled fish are adjusted to a normal level (/gram count) and the potentially served portion level (grams) is indicated on the menu. Thanks a lot for the service...

I was reading the feedbacks and I should say - if you are coming in the high season in Sardegna, you should really think that its tough for locals to cope with the flow. BUT - they do their best all the time. And trust me - I saw a lot, and way I was treated as coming alone, foreigner, on Sunday off the season - it’s 5 or 6 stars. Great food - I took spaghetti allo scoglio(where there were at least 5-6 types of locals creature :) and then I said - hmmm, want smth to eat but really not over eat. And Andrea was thinking and brought me best mix of seafood. Appreciated. Please don’t complain that you have to wait. It’s not London, Manchester, or Manhattan… it’s THE ISLAND with beautiful beaches. And people who host us. Best they can, coping with seasons inflow. Respect locals! Supper them and you get best out of sea,...
