Lo Squalo — Restaurant in Olbia

I went for dinner, waited to be served …however they only had pizza before 7pm. I’ve just landed from Rome and since I’m still in Italy I keep trying local( good) food… however that wasn’t the case… the pizza was extremely salty and with so much oil. As I don’t drink alcohol I ordered tea, when the tea arrived.. on the sugar someone wrote “Baby”… it was facing up so easy to see from the barman and waiter… mind you the waiter even pointed to the sugar when serving it.They later claimed it was in the stack of tea (and not sugar, weirdly) and they haven’t seen it! They claim it was no one from the restaurant and must of been a client who wrote “Baby “on the sugar and they haven’t noticed and just placed it back in the stack. I wonder what are the chances someone will bring a blue marker in a restaurant like that and write a “baby” on the sugar and so then this sugar can be served to a single woman dining ….?!? The manager struggled to accept the constructive complaint, and then he came back and didn’t charge me for the meal. However, rather this was a misogynistic joke from their side, or neglect … I wouldn’t know. I only know that this was extremely disrespectful experience. Not to mention the unpleasant, unkept beach in-front...

The most important thing: The guy with buzzcut deserves a raise. He is the only one that saved this review from being 1 star. He was very professional and knew how to handle situations. I am specifically addressing to the boss. Why you hire personal who does not speak english?? or at least if you do so just train them to take care only to italians. I can see you maximize your profit and neglect the service offered to the client. This aspect came with a lot of downsides: I ordered 1 fried potatoes and they bring to us 2 - and for the second portion came with the girl that cant understand english so she did not understand it was a mistake... After she unboned the fish and made our plates, she left with the rest of the fish. I asked her politely to leave the rest of the fish to us, but she did not understand (why you hire staff that does not understand english...) but the guy with buzzcut saved the situation. I am telling you- he deserves a raise. The food was great. 5 stars

The guy with buzzcut i hope you see this....

We came twice for the lovely location - once for lunch and once for dinner. During lunch we sat inside because it was raining. The portions at lunch were small and the service was a little abrasive and unfriendly. We gave the experience the benefit of the doubt and decided to try the restaurant the following evening when the weather had improved and we could sit outside admiring the sea view. The food was fine but not amazing and the service was slow and inattentive. When we queried our bill the head waiter blew his top at us and was unnecessarily rude. Not cool in front of our children! Only our second day in Sardinia and to be honest it ruined...
