L'astoria - SANT'EUFEMIA A MAIELLA

This restaurant is wonderful! Clean, elegant interior, seasonal courses prepared beautifully, and VERY economical!!! My friend and I could not have been more impressed!

If in your way to the top of the mountains you're planning to make a stop to have a good meal, then save it to do it here. Pasta, some meat dishes, good service, nice atmosphere, and at a convenient price.

Yesterday we went on our usual bike ride around Abruzzo and as the reviews were quite good for this restaurant we decided to have lunch there. We asked for a table outside (not a good choice as it was very hot) and this already put us at a disadvantage as they seemed to forget about us! My friend went inside and asked for the menu. The first disappointed was that from all the pasta dishes on they menu they only had very few available and not a great choice. I ordered pasta with vegetables. The tagliatelle was very al dente but I started to eat it anyway. I had barely started when I see a big dead fly in my pasta and this was disgusting. We called the waiter and showed it to him. I didn 't think it was wise to order the same as they might have just served me the same! I asked for the menu but after a long wait, our second course arrived and at this point it was useless to order my pasta again. The grilled meat was undercooked and the salad was old and soggy. The waiter kept us apologizing but there was no sign of the owner to at least acknowledge the disaster. In the U.S. the least they would do is to offer you the lunch but they did not have the courtesy of even offering us coffee! This lunch experience ruined a perfect Sunday for us.

Qualità e quantità ottimo posto per mangiare e fare bella figura

Abbiamo chiamato un'ora prima del nostro arrivo e con grande gentilezza abbiamo trovato un tavolo per pranzare nonostante l'appartamento fosse traboccante. Veloce in servizio e cortese. Abbiamo ordinato antipasti agli arrosti italiani e misti. Davvero eccellente qualità e davvero buona quantità. Prezzo onesto in due)Consiglio
