Ristorante L'Antico Frantoio: My Take Stepping into Ristorante L'Antico Frantoio, you immediately feel a sense of history and warmth. It's clear from the get-go that this isn't just another tourist trap; it's a place with character and a genuine commitment to good food. The name itself, "The Old Oil Mill," hints at the rustic, authentic experience you're about to have. Ambiance & Setting The atmosphere here is truly charming. Imagine stone walls, exposed wooden beams, and a cozy, intimate feel. It's often described as being set in a beautifully restored olive mill, and you can definitely feel that heritage.

Katastrophe, wir sind angekommen ( 2 Personen + Hund ) und haben uns an einen 4 Mann Tisch gesetzt da wir wollten das der Hund am Rand liegt und nicht im Weg weil anscheinend Hunde in dem Restaurant nicht erwünscht sind . Die Kellnerin kam und starrte uns einfach nur an und sagte schließlich das wir da nicht sitzen dürfen . Wir mussten uns dann mit Hund in den Gang quetschen wo 2 Mann Tische waren . Allgemein machten die Kellner einen sehr arroganten und genervten Blick. Essen und Trinken wurden anschließend bestellt . Leider wurden die Getränke schon falsch geliefert was ich diesbezüglich aber nicht als schlimm sehe . Ich hatte mir dann das Hähnchenschnitzel mit Pommes bestellt . Als das Essen kam habe ich mich gefreut weil es schnell ging und gut aussah . Beim ersten Bissen habe ich allerdings einen Schrecken bekommen . Die Pommes waren komplett fettig und haben nur nach Frittierfett geschmeckt . Das Schnitzel hat mein schneiden die komplette Panade verloren , war innen noch komplett rosa und roh also nicht einmal durchgebraten , dazu war das ganze Schnitzel voll mit Blutflecken . Mal rosa oder auch schon Schwarzes vertrocknetes Blut . Habe es so komplett zurückgegeben und habe es anschließend auch nicht bezahlt . Zum bezahlen muss man rein gehen wo man auch nur mit einem arroganten Blick angeschaut wird . Leider wurden uns pro Person 5€ Pauschale fürs eindecken gestellt , wobei wir nichts bekommen hatten . Alle anderen Tische hatten Brotkörbe , Oliven usw. bekommen , wir gar nichts . Zu dem wurde unser Hund auch mit sehr vielen ekligen Blicken angeschaut und sogar fast umgerannt . Allgemein Grottenschlecht und auf jedenfall nicht...

After that we went to get my husband who has a difficulty walking. When we arrived all three ready to get seated at one of the tables they refused to seat us. We got the impression that the restaurant doesn’t want to see people with...
