Magie Letterarie In La maddalena

04/11/2023: The place looks good and the staff is very welcoming, helpful and prepared to explain any type of dish to you. We had a tasting menu and, although the dishes are highly sought after, some had small defects which, given their price, should be reviewed and improved. However, the quality of the food is excellent. In summer the seats are only outside, the stalls are covered but do not have any type of protection on the sides. Unfortunately, the weather that evening was not one of the best: mistral and rain gave us no respite. It would be worth reviewing the place from this point of view because, as rare as it is, rain also exists in summer... Eating in the wind with the rain washing you and your table is not pleasant and the dinner itself loses quality. I hope this inconvenience will be resolved as soon as possible, because the restaurant deserves it for what it offers.

16/10/2023: Discreet food albeit with a harmonious plating. A relevant detail was the excessively cold temperature of the starters, perhaps just out of the fridge? Another quite surprising detail was the refusal, at the time of the order, by the waitress (therefore of the restaurant) to be able to serve a first course together with the appetizers ordered by the other diners at the same table. In practice, a customer who wants a first course as his first request must wait until everyone else has finished their starters. As for wine by the glass, there is a minimal (although understandable) choice. The first row of tables is positioned adjacent to a local traffic road and is separated from this road by a "transparent" glass parapet. The beef fillet was rather fibrous so it was left partially on the plate. The service was good. Friendly and efficient staff. The 4 star rating is not meant to be negative (in fact the 4 rating is well deserved, despite the small mentions above). A second visit is needed to find out more.
