Antica Osteria del Mirasole — Restaurant in Unione Terre d'Acqua

If we had a chance to give zero stars, we would’ve done that! The moment we entered to the restaurant, we really liked the ambiance but the service overall was horrible. First, they gave us italian menu and we thought maybe they don’t have an english menu, which is totally fine but while we were struggling, we asked if they had an English menu, and they brought English menu after 10 minutes! They asked if we want still or sparkling water, even though we explicitly said still they brought sparkling water. After 30 mins, we managed to give our order and started receiving our food. With the food, we asked for additional stuff such as salt, cheese etc. NOTHING came! Also we explicitly asked for a medium-well cooked meat which came rare. After certain period of time, all waiters disappeared and we started waiting. After 15 mins or so they came to take our empty dishes and we asked for dessert menu. We ordered our dessert and coffee. Dessert came and we had to wait for 15 mins for our coffee… To top it off, after all this, they made us wait for 35 mins after we asked for the check for 3 times and eventually, we went to the cashier ourselves to pay and get out of there. Overall, the food was ok but service was horrible. If I knew I would not have not traveled for almost 45 mins one-way to try...

I wasn’t staying there only ate at the restaurant.

Beautiful place, beautiful plates and adorable and smiley waiter.

In my opinion the food was kind of good but way over priced.

The ricotta and small bite of focaccia with mortadelle were very nice.

I also drank an Amazing glass of Lambrusco.

The Lasagna was overcooked and felt almost like paste, it was tasteless and in between the layers there was very little amount of ragù.

The pork chops was some parts nice and some parts very dry and it felt like there’s not a lot of meat.

The mash potatoes were incredible, maybe the best I’ve had outside of France.

Also the tiramisu one of the best I’ve had in my life.

I think the prices were way too high. I understand that you pay extra for the small details, the beautiful plates and extra meticulous food but unfortunately it wasn’t the case.

I’ve eaten in many simpler osterias and trattorias much better meals with wine,antipasti,primi,secondi,desert and caffe in the price of the lasagna.

Even thought it was super expensive I would go again, sometimes there are bad days and it feels like they know what they are doing.

Also the service was excellent, the puree and the desert were perfect and the aesthetics were super nice and left good...

Food is not just sustenance; it's a journey that transports you through memories, evoking pure delight with every bite. With each mmm shared between my husband and me, it felt like time stood still, enveloping us in blissful moments. The warmth and positivity exuded by the staff made me contemplate a life in San Giovanni, trading the hustle of Tirana for its tranquil embrace. Every dish served was imbued with love, a sentiment I savored with each delicious taste.||For those planning a visit, I urge you to book in advance for an unforgettable experience. Consider staying in their cozy rooms to fully immerse yourself in their hospitality, and wake up to the delight of their breakfast spread. I can confidently say, I tasted the best brioche of my 32 years of life here.||Opting for the fixed menu allows you to sample a variety of their culinary delights, and I wholeheartedly recommend it. Mirasole epitomizes the power of love in creating extraordinary experiences. Their passion for Italy, for San Giovanni, and every aspect of their establishment shines through in every detail.||I was truly touched by the genuine kindness displayed by everyone, including the Chef! Mirasole is not just a place to dine; it's a testament to the beauty of love...
