La Loggia del Capretz Bistrot — Restaurant in Unione dei comuni Media Valle del Serchio

Incredibly bad experience. The owner was terribly rude. I went inside to grab a pack of cigarettes and was greeted with the owner saying "They even come at the wrong time to buy cigarettes". Mind the fact that it was eight in the evening and that the "restaurant" was practically empty and that buying some cigarettes takes no longer than ten seconds if you're slow. In any case the "gentleman" thought his time was to precious to waste it on being nice to someone who might ponder about eating at his place. Didn't greet me or thank me afterwards. If this resembles in any way the cooking I don't know how it's possible for them to keep the place running.

Proprietario incredibilmente maleducato. Sono entrato per comprare un pacchetto di sigarette e sono stato accolto con un gentilissimo "Arrivano anche agli orari sbagliati a comprare le sigarette". Erano all'incirca le otto ed il "ristorante" era praticamente vuoto, nonostante ciò immagino che dieci secondi di gentilezza fossero troppi per il nostro "gentiluomo". Il trattamento ricevuto mi ha fatto cambiare idea sul posto in cui cenare. Se il modo di trattare il cliente assomiglia anche lontanamente alla cucina che propongono mi chiedo come facciano a restare aperti....

I've read about this place in a blog and it seemed nice to go there. We went by to ask if we could make a dinner reservation for the same evening. The waiter told us that he had to check if there was still a table left, but it would only take 10 minutes. We decided to have a drink while we waited. After 10 minutes we received our drinks but no answer yet. After we finished our drinks (30 minutes later) I asked if we could pay and if he already knew if there was a dinner spot. The waiter was really rude and said that he was too "busy" to check, but the terrace was not crowded at all. Then he said that it would still only take 5 minutes to confirm. In my opinion it is not that hard to check.. At that point we did not even want to eat here anymore. I asked again to pay because after the first time the waiter didn't come back and then we left. I don't recommend to go here if you want to be...

Great flavours in a superb mix of Italian and argentinian cuisines. Beautiful location and ambiance. A host that has lived the world and has taken its best dishes and combined them into a varied menu. A staff that simply knows how to cook spectacularly. The great views of the town and the mountains are also a plus and the honest prices help you explore the menu without having to take a 2nd mortgage on your home. 8 hour slow cooked in a Japanese professional grill "asado" Is a must have and "empanadas" starter can't miss at your table when you visit this wonderfully achieved restaurant. 5 stars out of 5, would totally recommend... Don't miss this...
