Da Rosa — Restaurant in Macerata

We recently visited Da Rosa, and we must say, our experience left much to be desired. The issue was not the price, but the level of service and respect.

First, a waiter with grey hair brought us two bottles of water when we only ordered one. Despite this, both bottles were charged on the bill. While waiting for our food, another waiter, bald this time, brought us plates of carpaccio that we had never ordered, claiming it was “something for us.” Later, we discovered that these dishes were also added to the bill, at €3 per plate. While the carpaccio itself was tasty, with a couple of pieces of rucola, I did not appreciate being manipulated like this.

Finally, the wine situation was equally disappointing. We initially ordered a carafe of house wine and later decided to order some more the same house wine as we really liked it and ask a bald waiter two glasses would be enough, as a full carafe seemed too much. Instead of adjusting the order accordingly, the bald waiter poured wine into our glasses from a bottle and charged €5 per glass, when the entire carafe had been listed for just €6.

We have no issue paying for what we consume, which we did, but we find this kind of service unacceptable. It’s manipulative, and frankly, beneath the standards of good hospitality. This behavior was disrespectful, and we left feeling frustrated rather than satisfied. We won’t be returning, as we expect better treatment from any establishment, no...

Allora ci siamo voluti andare convinti dalle prime recensioni positive. Trattoria pulita e ben curata, il cameriere ci ha subito accolti e portato l'acqua mentre per l'ordinazione è venuto il proprietario che dopo averci fatto i complimenti perché siamo giovani, ci voleva vendere antipasti secondi e vino ma noi abbiamo preso 2 primi, un risotto al tartufo e cappelletti con fonduta e tartufo. I primi sono arrivati caldi e ben curati con tanto tartufo a fettine sopra. Il risotto sapeva solo di vino e il tartufo era inesistente ce n' era tanto ma non sapeva di nulla, mentre i cappelletti erano buoni ma la pasta di alcuni era più spessa e quindi alcuni erano più cotti altri meno, anche qui stessa storia con tartufo, tanto sul piatto ma non sapeva di nulla. In conclusione siamo andati via dopo aver preso: 2 primi (20€) ci sta per il tartufo (se sapeva di tartufo) acqua (2€) e (6€) di coperti e altri (6€) per 2 caffè. Insomma è troppo 12€ per il coperto e 2 caffè per un totale di 34€ e il cibo me lo aspettavo migliore. Quando siamo usciti siamo andati a fare una passeggiata e poco dopo ho sentito un forte mal di pancia menomale alloggiavo...

While this restaurant offers some amazing dishes, they are far from worth the high prices, as the portions are disappointingly small. The service is terrible—staff make inappropriate jokes about guests and even gossip with other patrons. To make matters worse, they served dishes we didn’t order and still added them to the bill. Overall, a very...
