Il Rifugio Del Nottolo - Rio nell'elba

We came here on an unplanned lunch outing and chose to stop here due to the friendliness of the waiter. Felt like a real local sitting out on the street on a pretty table. All of our dishes were well presented and full of flavour. Highly recommended!

The tables outside seem nice and the waitress was friendly but they didn't have a drinks menu available. When the bill came we were very surprised to see that a Fanta can cost €3.50 and a half litre of house white wine was an unbelievable €9! This is twice what we paid in downtown Florence and it seemed that they deliberately don't have a drinks price to view so that they can massively overcharge you when they oddments the bill. As you've anyway had the drink you have no leg to stand on. We feel properly scammed and disappointed with the experience as a result of this. When you add to it the small pizza and the joke of a pollo milanese which was nothing more than a piece of fried breaded meat with no accompaniment we would suggest you probably to next door where all the locals seem to sit.

Excellent location, professional and kind staff, excellent products, recommended

We stopped for a quick lunch. was a great choice

After a trekking from Porto Azzurro to here, we stopped drinking and eating something. The country was adorning for Halloween and were the last days of work for many tourist activities. We ate on the road a plate of wild boar pappardelle (buone) and black noodles seppia (ok), silk led us to drink two middle beers per head and eventually we split a dessert. The service was not particularly attentive, but the ladies were all engaged in decorations and we were not fast, so we took easy. So it goes well without infamy or glory. The fact that they needed spaghetti in Bolognese had a little worried about me. In the end the account was 70€!! The average beers at 6€ the first to 18€ cad Congratulations!
