La cucina di Michele — Restaurant in Eraclea

It's a mixed bag... Restaurant itself was very clean, spacious ,and seems that even if it was full, everyone would have enough space. Food was good, neatly prepared, fresh and tasted good. No issue there. The problem was we did not feel welcome. Staff was nice, but standoffish and somewhat cold towards us. We were literally the second table for that evening( there was one guest already there after we arrived) So i don't think they were too busy? We had three people speaking decent Italian in our 5 person group, we didn't make any weird or difficult requests. We visited at the recommendation of a very trusted friend, who after hearing about our experience was very disappointed, but not really surprised. We did not expect being fawned over, or treated like kings, we just thought friendly and communicative service would be normal in a restaurant like this one. The group that came shortly after us received a very different treatment, especially from what seemed the head waiter. Maybe we got the wrong impression, but that's how we felt. Hope this will help with avoiding future issues, especially if you're not...

Snooty staff who makes you feel unwelcome, except for the old gentleman with glasses who was genuine and kind. The food is not bad, but some slices of the fish we ordered were a bit gummy and raw at the center. For a restaurant that looks like a warehouse from the outside, the bill is quite costly. I don't mind paying more since that's already expected when eating out in Italy but at least try to put up a friendlier face, maybe. There's plenty of options for better service, better food, and better...

Dopo un paio di anni, abbiamo deciso di ritornare in questo ristorante, per sicurezza prenotiamo, posteggio con molti posti davanti al locale. Esterno molto ben curato, con esposizione del menù, ci accomodiamo nel salone, climatizzato (in molti altri locali di’ Eraclea Mare non è presente l’aria condizionata). Ambiente molto ben curato, predominante il rosso e bianco. Ordiniamo in un tempo congruo, nel frattempo ci portano degli stuzzichini di pesce per ingannare l’attesa. 2 risotti ai frutti di mare ed un piatto di spaghettoni artigianali al porto, gamberi e melone. Il risotto eccezionale (uno dei migliori assaggiato in zona) la pasta a detta di mio figlio molto equilibrata e delicata. Un paio di fritture di pesce con verdure per continuare la serata, buone, non unte, con pastella non invadente. Un dolce per mio figlio per finire la cena, dal nome sole di agosto, una palla di cioccolato bianco con all’Interno crema pasticciera con frutti di bosco (sublime). Come faccio di solito visito il bagno, pulitissimo e profumato. 1/4 di vino rosso locale, 2 bottiglie di acqua e 2 caffè per completare la serata. Conto nella norma per la qualità e freschezza del cibo. 110,00 euro. Secondo il nostro punto di vista, il miglior locale di’ Eraclea. Quindi un invito ad andarci è una prossima nostra visita prima della...
