Ristorante La Lanterna Olbia Italy since 1980 — Restaurant in Olbia

I never write reviews but now I have to. First, we came here and service was good. We sat down and started check the menu. The waitress asked are we ready and we said that we have to think still and everything was still good. Then other waiter came and asked are we ready and we said we are ready to order and the waiter heard wrong I guess and went away. Then we waited 15minutes and we had to take contact to the waitress because I think there was misunderstanding happened because they didn't spoke english well. That was still OK for us, mistakes happens. We ordered food and drinks and food came fast actually but drinks were missing. So we ate the whole food without drinks and after food drinks came on the table. We said about that and answer was just yea i know that, not even apologies. We declined taking those drinks because we ate food without them and asked the check immediately after that. Waitress was so annoyed in that time, took plates and drinks and took away without saying anything. The check came, and they put service fee, but we declined paying for that, we wanted pay only for the food because there wasn't service, we didn't touch the drinks and bread. The waitress didn't agree with that and tried say back that we have to pay it because service, bread etc. At the end she just took the money, didn't say anything and walked away. I think this restaurant experience reach out to the top 3 worsted ever....

We are really disappointed. I do not know how they have those reviews but food IS NOT GOOD. And is crazy EXPENSIVE for what you get. We order beef carpaccio and in the end we got some kind of processed salami, totally disappointment. Like carpaccio is carpaccio it is not salami! I told them this when they ask is everything ok, but they say: "Ah this is smoked one!". - but " smoked" was not written in the menu. Also spaghetti with sea food were just in oil and tasteless. Not worth it at all.

The good think was tuna steak in pistachio sousse from my friend, but very tiny one, and nothing else on the plate with this, you can order additional just pommes fries or regular salat. So all in general I would never go there and pay 100 euros for a so bad quality food. Service was ok, but we wait more then hour for food ( and was not so busy). We got in the end some kind of discount of 9 euros, even we did not ask for it (for obviously many wrong things) but I do not care, I prefer to pay and eat...

My friends and I visited this restaurant a few months after it came under new ownership, and unfortunately, we were quite disappointed. The overall experience was underwhelming, starting with the food presentation, which was uninspired. The dishes were mediocre at best and served somewhat cold. Even a simple classic like the pasta carbonara was terrible; the pork was burnt and the wrong cut, and the dish was overly salty with no other spice or flavor. The seafood pasta was also a letdown, with an unpleasantly fishy taste. Most of the pasta dishes were below par, and we left with half of our plates still on the table. The drinks were just as disappointing. The Aperol spritzes tasted watered down and lacked the proper amount of prosecco. We ended up buying a separate bottle of prosecco just to mix the drinks ourselves. We had high hopes for the new management, but our experience fell far short of our...
