La Taverna da Paolo — Restaurant in Tossa de Mar

Awful service. The two male waiters should not be working in hospitality and one of them needs anger management courses.

We had a 21:40 booking and were happy to wait at a nearby restaurant for just under an hour. I popped in to note we wanted an outside table if this was possible. One became free as I was advising this, the female staff member (after checking with her male colleague NOT HER FAULT AT ALL as she DID check with a waiter) and offered it to us in 10 minutes.

In short, WHAT A SPOT, if you haven't eaten or drank at this place you are missing out, the vibes are killer and the food is the best we've had while in...
