Ristorante "La Braceria" — Restaurant in Locorotondo

Worst food, wine and service ever! We chose this restaurant because of its pretty location and pleasant decoration. It looked as being a nice place to eat. First time we did not read any recommendations or comments before choosing a restaurant... Big mistake! The service was completely incompetent, came already 2 minutes after bringing us the menu for taking the order - 3 times in 5 minutes - absolutely amateur behavior! The pasta with meatballs for the children was "ok" but the main courses were horrible. First of all, we did not get what we've ordered while the "waiter" insisted that we ordered it (!), then we got the side dish (baked potatos) 20 (!) minutes before the meat so that we finished them already when the meat arrived as we were hungry and wanted to avoid eating cold potatos. Fortunately, we ate some pasta that the kids left, as the grilled meat when it finally came was uneatable! Overcooked, chewy, charred, of bad quality. The wine (we ordered the most expensive regional white wine for 22€) was hardly drinkable - far to sour to enjoy... This was our worst restaurant experience ever and in the end it was not even low priced as we paid...

Top 12 reasons to not go there:

The lady was very unfriendly and impertinent. Upon entering, the only word was "due?" (two) because we were two persons. When she waited our table she started impatiently ticking her blocknote, because we didn't decide quickly enough The table cloth was wet. When we said something about it, she ignored it The translation of the menu was poor The potatoes were not well done and way too fat The bread was days old and dry like the desert The wine was mediocre, like all of the other food She never asked if everything was ok or we needed anything. When removing the plates, she threw the napkin from the plate back on the table She was reading her WhatsApp wile checking out Everything was way too expensive

We could list more reasons, but this is the top 12. In short:...

Worst meal in Italy. Do not go here they do not know how to cook meat or pasta. The had lamb on the menu so I figured I would give it a try. I was hesitant because lamb in Italy is.........well lets just say they need to learn from the Greeks or not bother with it. The dish was the worst cuts of lamb chop basically drenched in salt. I didnt even think it was possible to mess up lamb chops as you can just sear them over a little butter. Last time I try lamb in Italy. Their house red wine was vinegar and gave me heartburn. Their pasta with polpetine seemed like out of a can. My daughters steak was all fat and ligaments. Overall worst meal ever. We sent back at least 3 uneaten plates and the staff was seeminly very unbothered by it. I can't tell them how to be a better restaurant but I can tell you the reader of English to...
