Osteria Il Rifugio Dei Pirati

Went there had a beautiful day out with my family, the staff really friendly and polite. The food was something amazing tha I haven’t experienced in many years. Really recommended

The food is amazing and the price is really good. All dishes almost from 10 to 15 euros. And the service is very good .

THE most CHAOTIC restaurant I’ve ever been to!! We had high hopes for this place as it was well reviewed and located in a nice setting. We walked in as a group of seven adults and they seated us quickly. Their wine recommendations were ok. Then however we came to food ordering. First the waiter tried to push us all to a set menu of his choosing but we insisted we wanted to order a la carte. He then said please don’t all order something different. Two of us ordered tiny appetisers (some fish tartare and a tiny bit of salmon), and we went on to order mains courses. Two asked for the seafood risotto and were told it would take a ‘very long time’, but ordered it anyway. The waiter then wanted to leave our table (after half the order). We insisted we needed to order more mains as not everyone had ordered food yet!! One then ordered gambas on the waiter’s recommendation, and after much discussion where the waiter kept changing his mind on how this would be cooked, three ordered the catch of the day. In this discussion he kept wanting to leave too. He then left and I didn’t get to order any main course at all. He never even checked to see if he had all food orders and was desperate to finish the ordering process. Once the food started arriving, the chaos continued. The seafood risotto, allegedly taking such a long time, arrived first, before any appetisers! The (three little) gambas arrived but didn’t come with any side dishes as he hadn’t bothered to ask if one might need any more than three little shrimp for dinner!! The catch of the day was way too small to feed three people despite his insistence, and the side dishes to this fish came halfway through the meal. The condiments then came even later. My sister was left having eaten three small gambas for dinner and I’d had a tiny bit of tartare, that’s it! At no point did they think this was a haphazard way of getting food out or if this was enough food for the group it wasn’t by far and we would have ordered more if he’d let us!! Absolutely chaotic from start to finish and thus not enjoyable.

Try and tackle the fisherman’s apetizer for 1. It’s incredible. Possibly the best fish restaurant I’ve ever been to. I had food envy at every dish that came out to others as I couldn’t manage any more!

Freshest catch of the day you can get. Try the raw seafood appetizers- excellent. We found it by accident and really happy we did. Highly recommend it
