IT.Different — Restaurant in Antigua

In the most pokiest little restaurant, attached to an even small hotel you'll find some really great eating. After eating here on the suggestion of someone local, I can absolutely agree that this is the best traditional Italian cuisine in this small town. Based on the food I would love to stay here and try the breakfast and beds. There is a a real charm and villa look. At the same time I must add it's very compact. The outside restaurant seating is a stone drop from our table. But they make the best of the space they have, so cannot fault them for this. Starters were fantastic wifey going with the THAY shrimp salad, of course English is a second language, but food is their first. And they mean THAI shrimps, chickpea puree. Wifey loved this, they shrimps cooked perfectly. Personally I didn't like the raw vegetables, but then again, I am Chinese. I had the Sea Bass steak with a Pea cream sauce. And I really loved this dish, the fish, the fried taste, the balance of the creamed peas. What a dish, I really like this. The dishes look small, but you will leave very full. The prices are actually very good value for a fine dining experience. I would highly recommend and couldn't praise them enough. For the mains the wifey tried the Black Angus with sauteed mushrooms and oporto sauce. This was a great dish however the sauce was too rich and too thick. It overpowered the steak, so a thinner sauce probably would have suited better. I had the Seafood Tagliolini I have no arguments here and perfect food to get stuck in their with your fingers. After this we were completely full, but have to try a dessert. So we shared a pistachio parfait which it was nice light and full pof pistachio flavour. Thank god it was light. All the dishes looked beautiful and well presented. It's was strange it is not more busy, but can understand as it served a more traditional style. Which means, more seafood and less tomato based dishes. For a quiet, fine dining meal for small groups I would rate this place in the top 3...

There’s absolutely no reason for us to return to this restaurant after the way Andrea kicked us out. If you lack basic professionalism and customer service skills, you probably shouldn’t be managing a restaurant, that’s fundamental in the F&B industry.

It’s a real shame, because the lady who took our order was lovely, and the food was really tasty.

We were enjoying a nice evening with friends when, out of nowhere, Andrea approached us in a rude and abrupt manner, telling us we should have left already. It was 11:30 PM, and apparently, he wanted to close earlier, something we hadn’t noticed. Had he communicated this politely, we would have apologised and left right away. But instead, he was impolite and borderline aggressive, completely ruining the experience.

Caleta doesn’t offer many options, but this place is now definitely...

Having found IT.different just down the road from our resort, and having seen the menu, we thought it would make a nice change from the other restaurants nearby, and we were right. Our server was called Vincent and he was very friendly, professional and attentive. There was a nice selection of items on the menu. My husband and I both chose the Thai prawns to start. I had the fillet steak, medium rare, and my husband had the pork. All the dishes were brought out beautifully presented and tasted as good as they looked. It made a nice change to enjoy some fine dining and we had a lovely evening, including some very tasty sangria to accompany our food. We would definitely recommend this restaurant. It may be a little more expensive than some of the other local restaurants, but the quality of the food and the service...
