Egesta

We waited over 40 minutes in total and eventually left. After the first 20 minutes, which we understood because it was high season, a waiter came over, said nothing, raised a finger as if telling us to wait when we said hello, then walked off while staring at his device. After that, he and other staff had a shouting match and gestured toward our table, seeming unsure whose table it was. Really rude, awful service. I wouldn’t recommend letting an evening in this gorgeous town be ruined like that.

The restaurant is beautiful, especially the entrance, and the food was authentic and high quality. The eggplant starter was incredible, I hadn’t imagined eggplant could taste that good. The seafood pasta and grilled fish were great too. Service was fine. The waiters seemed to have some trouble understanding English, I think, but they were kind and brought us everything we wanted.

We ordered pasta and dentice, and both were absolutely delicious. The staff were so welcoming and friendly, and took time to help us pick dishes we’d really enjoy. Their positive attitude made the experience even better. We had a fantastic time and highly recommend it!

The antipasti specialita di pesca, with its assortment of fish, was delicious, though the other dishes and desserts were just average. The chef was warm and kind. Unfortunately, we found a piece of plastic, or possibly another hard material, in our cassata. They offered a 50-cent discount in response.
