Ristorante Pizzeria Pineda 1983 — Restaurant in San Michele al Tagliamento

Long story short: We waited over an hour for our food - The house wine was actually really nice, staff were friendly, and the place has a good vibe. So far, so good. (ordinary Italien restaurant)

BUT – the food… honestly, not good at all. Totally bland, felt like it was thrown together without care. I mean, for €25 pasta, you’d at least expect some actual pasta. And how does an Italian kitchen manage to make a tasteless pizza? I thought that was impossible.

Maybe a tourist trap? Not sure, but the other guests didn’t look happy either.

I really hate giving bad reviews, but this one deserved it. We clearly mentioned it to the staff – their response: “Mmmh okay… I’m sorry.” That’s it. No dessert, no discount, nothing.

This is a restaurant belonging to the Pineda Hotel and it's typically geared towards tourists, at least in terms of taste. In case anyone didn't understand, that wasn't a compliment. On the positive side, the beautiful and large terrace and the nice staff are worth mentioning. While you're served quickly, the food isn't served as fast, which is typical with so many guests. Pizza dishes taste better than pasta. We were unfortunately disappointed with the pasta and gnocchi. Another negative point about the pizza: the mushrooms aren't fresh, they're canned. I'd happily buy pizza for takeout at lunchtime to eat on the beach, but I won't be dining in the restaurant again.

Since the terrace is nice, I do recommend the restaurant, but it's best to stick...
