Osteria Frade Meu — Restaurant in Thiniscole/Siniscola

I am totaly confident to say that this is my worst restaurant experience I have ever had in my life.

1. Food. The drinks are normaly priced. The food is overpriced. the taste is poor, pasta was tasteless and very dry, overcooked. And some dishes priced two times more than at other places.

2. Service. Felt like unwanted and discriminated visitor compared to others (who were locals). Waiters were kind to locals but very adjective to us. After asking for a bill, we did not reveived it and had to wait like 20 minutes for it. I asked again and got bill with receipt. After few minutes I asked again if I can pay by card, as I wanted to do that initialy but no one asked.

3. Extras. You will be charged additional 2,5€ per person for “service”- forks and napkins, what is free of charge even at the lowest level restaurants. That would not be a problem if the service and food were good though.

All in all the food is not worth a price, it looks good only from pictures but that is it. If you are a tourist, do not ruin your evening being discriminated and choose orher restaurant. Did not feel...

As a dessert I had Seadas (which ich had dozens of times before), but they also are in my top 3. You tasted the homemade (by the owners grandmother) touch. The wine selection is broad an focusses on sardinian wines. I had two lovely wines by the glasses, that prrfectly matched what I asked for. A great...

The best eatery we've been to on our trip in 2023 to Sardinia. Location is in town, so no sea view etc, but if food quality is what you are looking for, this is the place for you. A lot of hand made components like the fresh pasta, cooked to perfection with perfect ratio of sauce and ingredients. Even the traditional "mirto" of Sardinia is made by them. The decor is on point with a clean and tidy space and the service is incredibly friendly and very knowledgeable with just the right level of up-selling (for the restaurant owners, looking for what constitutes perfect up-selling). It was so good we came back and ate twice here. Highly...
