L'Oasi — Restaurant in Levanto

Unfortunately one of the worst dining experiences I have ever had. Nothing was good.

The service was bad, the staff unfriendly and the meny confusing.

The bread that was put on the table was extremely dry and there was no butter of oil to dip it in.

They didnt have the first things we ordered, so we had to take something else.

Two of us ordered the fish dish, and for €18 we assumed it would be an actual dish, but when the food arrived it was only a piece of coocked fish on a plate. Nothing next to it. So sides. Nothing. We asked about it, and the waitor was rude and didn’t understand the problem. Apparently they had sides on another page in the meny, but they never thought to let us know when we ordered.

The other two ordered a pasta with scampi. The pasta was untasteful and there was almost no food in the scampi.

We were a company of four and half of us got the food first, then the two others had to wait for 5-10 minutes to get their food.

The food was disappointing and not filling. But no one came to check on us to ask if everything was okay.

When they checked on us after the dinner we told them we were dissatisfied, but they were rude and said everything was our fault because we spoke English and didn’t understand Italian customs.

The cut nothing off the price and even charged a total of €16 for...

It was our first visit to this restaurant and we were looking forward to it as it had lots of good reviews. Unfortunately we waited 45mn for our main course because they had forgotten our order. No one came to explain what was going on and when we asked they didn’t seem very concerned about it. Only one waiter came to apologies but the host was very rude to us and said that basically, this happens when things are busy and that’s just how things are. We were very shocked by that attitude and they refused to give us any form of compensation. During the meal we also felt more attention was being given to other tables, especially tables where local people were sitting. I will not be...

Esperienza che mi è piaciuta ma allo stesso tempo mi ha lasciato delle perplessità. Il locale è molto carino, con alcuni accenni di tipo marinaresco. Prima cosa che non mi è piaciuta, il fatto che non viene portato un menù che la persona può consultare tranquillamente (anche per verificare i prezzi, gli ingredienti ed eventuali allergeni) ma c'è una signora che espone i piatti disponibili a menù. Questa è una abitudine che bisogna iniziare ad abbandonare. Portate un menù e lasciate che la gente lo legga con calma, senza doversi sentire pressato da una persona che aspetta in piedi davanti al tuo tavolo in attesa che tu dica cosa vuoi mangiare. Abbiamo preso l'antipasto misto per due (€ 22 a testa), i piatti proposti erano buoni, con ingredienti di qualità e anche se non c'è stato nulla che mi abbia particolarmente colpito a livello di preparazione o presentazione. Abbiamo continuato poi con un pesce al sale (un branzino). In questo caso la presentazione era molto bella e anche il pesce in sé era molto gustoso, anche se certamente non a buon mercato (€ 48). Per finire, una bottiglia di vino della casa (€ 17) caffè e digestivo (quest'ultimo a differenza di altri locali che abbiamo visitato, in questa cena non ci è stato offerto, ma non è un problema). Totale € 126, personalmente dopo aver visitato ogni sera un ristorante di pesce diverso di Levanto, e avendo quindi acquisito un po' di esperienza, credo che, per quanto si sia mangiato discretamente bene, il conto fosse leggermente alto, non molto, ma qualcosa si dovrebbe limare secondo me. Basti pensare che il coperto viene € 4 a persona, il più caro tra i ristoranti da noi visitati durante questa settimana di vacanza (alcuni di questi anche segnalati dalla guida Michelin, come la Trattoria al Centro,...
