Ristorante Ex Centrale — Restaurant in Teulada

There is no worse feeling than paying what is not a small amonut of money for a very bad dinner. Air actually, because between appetizers and the main dish I ate a whole amount of two bites, just enough to know I do not want more. We came as a familiy of 6 and ordered mussels SOUP, stewed cod with onion, pasta with goat meat, tuna and fregula. The SOUP was not in fact a soup - it was waterd down passata with way too much salt and a crazy amount of mussels, which is not a bad thing in general, but when I order a SOUP I am expecting a soup, the dish should be called differently. Also we were served mussels that were not open, which shouldn't happen becuase that means they went bad. The cod was just bland, no salt, a lot of water flowing on the plate which at that point I sensed is used as a spice and on top of that a lot of onion dipped in vinegar. For the mains: pasta with goat meat was the best dish and I mean if I would cook it like this at home I would push through and eat it, but I would never wish to eat something like this at a restaurant. I don't know much about goat meat so I don't know if every bite should be diffrent because some of them were okay and some of them were a part of a rubber in their previous life. As for the pasta itself, it was overcooked yet hard and the starch made the sauce very sticky. The cheese on top of it was suppose to be pecorino, which definietley was not a pecorino. Tuna was just a very very bad dish. The meat was so hard, after what felt like 10 minutes of chewing I spat it out becuase besides the taste I could no longer chew it. And what goes on top of the tuna was a mystery. It was just a mashed brown pulp. Fregula sealed the deal: it was THE WORST dish there. It was bitter but also - which seems impposible - bland. Yeat again the main spice there was water. In the whole dish there were a few shrimps, every one of them was served whole and overcooked, so their mustache broke and were lost inbetween the pasta. The shell is hard so taking it out from your mouth wouldn't be fun. Wine was good, the best part actually, and the waiter, that didn't ask about much was also nice. The interior is simple, pleasant enough. If the food was good I...

We came as a family of 4 (2 kids) at a Saturday night in August. Very few people dinning. The service was fast indeed and the staff were friendly but I can’t avoid mentioning how lost they look when one talks to them in English. This is a touristic pretty little town and it’s interesting the Italian waiters can’t engage back in English. Anyway, the food was an absolute flop. We got the meat dish and the fragola with prawns. The fish pasta tasted like someone dropped an additional seafood seasoning cube, somewhat tasty but too salty. The meat was just not tasty at all. No salt, no flavor. I have had enough meat dishes in Italy to say they are amazing pasta cookers but not meat. The cut was chewy and no flavor at all. The wine - a local - was very good, a suggestion from the waiter which I appreciate. The atmosphere is very nice and chilled. So in general a 3star because of the wine and atmosphere and the antipasti which was ok. One thing I forgot to mention, when we came there were no available seats outside because it was booked (plenty of empty tables tho), too bad so we took one inside. Turns out that no one came and the terrace was pretty much empty and I couldn’t enjoy a super nice evening...

We came in a group of 6. For starter we ordered mussels which some of them were spoiled (they didn't open so not so fresh). For main course: fregula with prawns was not salty, a bit bitter and dull (too little acid in the dish), dish with tuna, which was dry and overcocked, and malloreddus with goat meat which was fine, but pasta was a bit too al dente.

PS. To owner reply, I don't mean to slander the restaurant, but I do live near the sea, and 1/3 mussels od mussels where Home, and fregula was just bad. I couldn't finish the dish due to bitterness and dullnes, and I am not a picky eater. To finish malloreddus dish was fine, I would...
