The food was excellent, but the service is not there yet! When I asked for the wine list, they said that I should scan the QR code printed on the napkin - which I really hate it anyway, taking out my phone at the table, it's bad manners in my opinion!

Well, my phone was out of battery, so no menu for me, then the waitress brought me a bottle of wine without even asking me what I would like to drink, except if red or white! Of course, I asked then for some recommendations, but she only knew that her boss send me that bottle! I kindly asked for the boss to come to our table, so that he can explain why he choosed that specific wine for me without asking - not that it was the most expensive, although it was not even near the bottom of the price list, which I got to see it finally on another phone! Well, in a very patronizing style, he explained me that it's hard to keep a printed wine list updated, since he has inconsistent stock due to the wine providers lack of seriosity, hence the need to have the list online - like in this way one won't have to keep it updated anyway! - and that this wine is very good! I asked why this wine and not another one - I wanted to try a local, Ischian wine, and in order to convince me to pay 8 - 10€ more for one wine, one shoud try to sell it to me first! Anyway, without a word, he changed the bottle with another one, also not giving me a clue why so... I realised that I have nobody to talk with about wine, and I accepted! Probably, in his opinion, an expensive wine it's always better..

Then, trying to edulcorate the situation, the guy pulled out of his chique chemise chest pocket a fancy cigar-like tube with a bar of bottarga, and with theatrical performance he started grating some of that on top of my half eaten linguini scampi plate, making a scene with the believe that I've never seen such thing in my whole life! He even make some prophecies on the effect that that substance will have on me later in the night.. Anyway, I didn't get the joke, neither my wife, my daughter and my companion friends on the table! When I said that I know what bottarga is, he was a little surprised, I guess, probably he expected that his show will have a deeper impact on us, the poor peasants!

On the food, as I mentioned, my dish was impecable (very tasty linguini and 3 little scampi), but on anotherone's choice, the tuna steak was overcooked, even if we specifically asked the "big boss" when placing the order not to cook the tuna steak more than "rear"! When we asked him that, he even bragged that there is no way to eat a tuna steak otherwise than "rear", and if it's delivered "medium-rear" or "well-done", we should refuse it!

Well.. even with the well done tuna, the food was good, but the condescending treatment we got from the head of the restaurant was not cool.. I believe some clients may find this guy charming, with his elegant posture and aura of knowing it all and flashing his little stick of bottarga, but for my taste he patronized a little to much the paying custommers! One might consider himself the chief of an island, but the world is a bigger place!
