Piropo - Porto Santo Stefano

Sunday lunch with a couple of friends. We go to the restaurant at 1pm asking if there was still a table for 4 available; some people were getting up and we were told to come over after a few dozen minutes the time to set up . My intention was to leave my name and telephone number but I was told not to worry because they would reserve the table for us. The dining room staff with short memories seats other guests and we find ourselves having to wait an hour outside the restaurant (waiting for an additional table to become free). Wow, how professional. Once you get used to tourists, everything is easier. We order some sparkling wine and 4 second courses to SHARE (with the relative saucers) After a long wait (perhaps justified by the long Sunday service), the dishes we requested arrive. What a disappointment Paying €22 for a mixed grill and being served 3 scampi and 3 2nd/3rd choice prawns and a 20 gram cuttlefish is pure madness. Livorno style cod with a tomato so salty as to be semi inedible, a side dish of sautéed escarole that borders on the ridiculous. €5 for two forkfuls of totally tasteless vegetables (a blasphemy for lovers of that dish). Sliced tuna (150 g max) left on the grill for an indefinite time: overcooked, fibrous and tasteless. The zucchini side dish paired with tuna was so salty that it required a loaf of bread to accompany it. €130 for 4 of us for getting up after an hour of waiting hungry and totally dissatisfied with the dishes served. Take these criticisms to heart. They are objective Service: Dine in Meal type: Lunch Price per person: €30–40 Food: 1 Service: 2 Atmosphere: 3
