La Casitta — Restaurant in La Maddalena

When we arrived they welcome us with an expensive drink, they don’t have menu and their food compare their price doesn’t worth at all, we order one Spaghetti and one small lobster, it’s 1 hour and 10 minutes to deliver the food and there was a child screaming the whole time, you have no view at downstairs, My spaghetti was very salty and the lobster was a bit cold and not fresh as there wasn’t many clients, they have a gold water which is 50€ and normal mineral water for 15€ their starter was good and they didn’t charge it but main course no and price for lobster is 200€ and my spaghetti 100€ which is totally not a fair rate for a salty spaghetti. we did not order any kind of drinks except 3 gold water and 1 mineral water and the total bill become 465€ and you don’t feel comfortable at this place as you have to wait for a surprise always, i asked 3 times about the prices and why they don’t have the menu, the reason was different food different days but when i ask about the price they don’t really want to explain it clearly. I took the bill and receipt of my payment in case they do not agree with what i write as a description and a bad experience i will upload it as a proof, the only good thing about this place is the guy who took us from our yacht let me to ride his boat and the mini car which took us to the restaurant and it was fun, So generally not a good view from where the tables are, Good staff and service but they are obligated to be clear with customers Very bad food, Doesn’t worth the price compare the food, Very late delivery which waste...

I have to laugh at the reviews. Its all about one thing if you really dive in -- the size of the check. And honestly it wasn't extreme considering what they plate. My wife and I had four drinks each (ugh), 10 oysters, 4 langoustine, and 4 shrimp for our appetizers, and then lobster with linguine (wife) and a local fish filet as entrees. The desert was a classic lemon sorbet (it was really hot so it was perfect). The bill was $625. Was it inexpensive --- no, but it was well worth the cost. This 8 or so table restaurant is authentic Mediterean/Italian, charming, and has impeccable service. Its a bonus that one of the primary waiters, Sam, is a Chateau Relais waiter in the Winter. You have to check it out and don't be surprised if Leonardo or Beyonce shows up. This is an extraordinarily special place. It even has a helicopter pad for...

If I could give this place 0 stars I would. We had a reservation for lunch only accessible by boat. However, due to terrible winds we were unable to make it. Our boat captain with over 25 years of experience would not take us because of the dangerous seas. La Casitta charged us €200 for something that was out of our control. I do not recommend as this place takes advantage of potential dangerous seas knowing they will charge you if you can not arrive. I will not put my safety over a pasta that you can find at any of the other million places around. I applaud our captain for putting our safety first...
