Ristorante Beccaccino — Restaurant in Sorico

We had a bad experience here. First of all, the service was terrible: We came 20 mins before our reservation (and before the restaurant opens), but instead of being offered to sit down on our table anyway, we had to wait outside while the staff were having their dinner on one of the tables in the restaurant (it’s an open restaurant so we can see them and they can see us, so imagine how awkward that is). I know this is probably asking a lot, but I didnt expect anything less from a restaurant that made it to Michelin star list. We didn’t speak Italian (and the staff knew) but noone bothered to explain what the menu, which was fully written in Italian, entailed. When leaving the restaurant, we said thank you and bye to one of the staff who didn’t reply but instead stared at us with an angry look.

The food was also underwhelming, i.e portion was way too big for 4-course menu (we had to skip dessert as we couldn’t handle that much bad food, and note that we came very hungry), fish were overcooked and underseasoned, there was not much variation at all to the 4-course menu just a bunch of fried fish.

If you are planning to come here, I’d say save your money, time,...

Place is very quiet, close to the water and nature very accessible by car and with plenty of free parking spots. Amazing terrasse and inner room decorated with taste. Family business run with passion, the service is a delight and the cuisine a pure moment of pleasure and joy with two lovely menus around sea food. Alla carta is also possible. Great recommendations of wines to get along the dishes, astonishing choice of liquors (grappas, whiskies, rhums etc). I chose the most expensive menus (63 EUR per person) which was an absolute pleasure and I got more for the money that I could dream of, from the apetizer to the chef's way of tiramisu, with home made pastas and delightful alliances of sea food, vegetables and fruits along the way. English and French speaking staff. Lovely people. Lovely place. Lovely food. I definitely intend to come back one day,...

We came here following the mentioning in the Michelin app. The place must have been sold after the mentioning because the food was a disaster. Nothing was fresh, our main fish was defrosted and microwaved and the place had a very strange and cringy vibe. The tiramisu was a complete nightmare and the chocolate pralines were half frozen. The place is probably run by new Owners now which have no idea what they are doing. You have to avoid this place!! It’s a disgrace for Italian culinary culture!!

EDIT: ANSWER TO THE OWNER:

The only thing that's embarrassing here is the food you're trying to pass off as elegant. You should stop lying because it's too obvious. The only thing we finished were the tiny appetizers because we were hungry. Telling you to your face wouldn't have helped either, as you wouldn't understand it in your...
