Trattoria Da Matteo - CAPO D'ORLANDO

In passato ho pranzato più volte in questo ristorante e ho sempre mangiato abbastanza bene, ma questa volta ho trovato i prezzi più alti e la qualità non all'altezza del passato. Forse è un caso isolato, ma i primi piatti lasciavano a desiderare. Per il resto, tutto ok.

Wir waren zwei Mal in diesem Restaurant zum Abendessen. das Personal war sehr freundlich. ein Kellner spricht auch Deutsch. das Essen war super lecker! sehr empfehlenswert.

Bellissima posizione con vista sul mare. Abbiamo ordinato un antipasto completo di pesce, seguito da un bel corso con una degustazione dei principali tipi di pesce. Siamo rimasti delusi dagli antipasti, erano freddi come se fossero stati preparati in anticipo e aspettassero solo di essere portati al tavolo. Il polpo nel piatto era quasi crudo. Il personale non era all'altezza, non sapeva neanche come elencare la frutta e i dolci. Siamo rimasti delusi e dispiaciuti per Matteo.

Everything was awesome!! The service was soooo great and the food was simple bit amazing. The waiter spoke like 3 different languages and payed carefull attention to every client

After 1 hour and 40 minutes we gave them 100 EUR and left without eating. We entered this seafront restaurant in good faith with 2 young children and ended up eating supermarket lunch out of a bag in a parking lot 2 hours later. Shame on the service and on wherever the disrespect that our family enjoyed today comes from. We were ignored when we called the waiters, it took 30min to give the order and over an hour to get some reaction from the staff.. some food came after 100 minutes but for my little daughter completely different than what we ordered, and after all that time no trace of our ordered wine and additional water bottle. This on a terrace restaurant with 20 tables waited by 3 waiters. We felt purposely ignored, lots of other customers who came after us got served while we were deploying various waiter waiving strategies, arguing among us to not disturb them too much. My hungry daughters felt like crying, very hurtful. Enjoy the 100 EUR. We will not disturb you anymore, as you could not be clearer that we are not welcome. I don’t want to hurt people and I am not usually writing too negatively but this was so incredibly and unexpectedly bad involving my children and wife that I want to warn whomever might think in the future, like us, “this looks like a nice place, let’s try it”. Stay away, walk on, drive to the next supermarket 8 minutes further and get a much better treatment.
