Braceria Via Vai — Restaurant in Taranto

I visited with a large group, and the majority of the group ordered the t-bone steaks marked as 48€ on the menu. 30 minutes after ordering (The steaks take approximately 50 minutes to cook), the waiter comes out to tell us that it today it actually costs 58€ for the steaks. When the food comes out, every steak except one (8 out of 9 steaks) is extremely overcooked. When the bill comes, we realize we were overcharged 70€ on top of the extra 10€ per steak we were already told about. This was due to the steaks being slightly more than 1 kilo when weighed, so the 58€ we were told was actually 58€ per kilo, and the steaks served to us weighed more than 1 kilo. Service was ok at best. Also, 2 members of our party ordered salads as their meal. These came out as appetizers (50 minutes before everyone else's food). This could have been a miscommunication. My poor review is not based on this misunderstanding at all, just writing as a recommendation for the restaurant when they have future...

If your English or non Italian stay clear of this place, me and some friends went here and from the off it was a bad experience. They seated us I. The street outside of the premises because we wasn't local, After 30 mins of being sat there with waiters walking buy serving locals but ignoring us we finally ordered our food. Once back at our table the waiter gave us someone else's food then walked away when we tried to explain. They don't ask you how you want your meats cooked. We order fries with our main and they came inside my burger which was bizarre. We then ordered separate fires which didn't turn up until after we had finished an hour later of which we were still charged for. They push you to buy a large beer tower but it was filled with the worst beer I've drank to date. This was also one of the most expensive burgers I've ever paid for. To conclude if you want to wait over an hour for food and be segregated because your not a local whilst being robbed blind then by all means come...

The worst eating experience we had on our holiday in southern italy. We looked forward to eating a nice peace of beef so went to this place.

We ordered the T-bone steak (medium-rare) with french fries, wasnt easy because the staff didnt speak english. After half an hour we got some baked patatoes with a rare t-bone steak. After our first bite we discovered it was rare and cold from the inside. We tried to notice the staff but the ignored us. After half an hour waving they came to us and said it was cooked right. We tried to explain it was cold and to rare cooked. They came back with a stone to keep it warm. Not good enough ofcourse. We sended it back to let them cook it better. After half an hour still no steak. We left the restaurant with...
