Osteria La Pace - MONTE ARGENTARIO

We had a great time at this place. We are from the US and we were pleased to find the staff was extremely attentive, polite, and spoke excellent English. Not only that, but the wine steward educated us about local wines and helped select some excellent bottles. We returned again for the 2nd night of our stay. When you get service this great in Europe, especially Italy, it's worth going back.

We were lucky to have found this restaurant by chance as almost everything else was closed on a Monday. The interior was attractive, the view magnificent. The service was professional nothing more, nothing less. My friend and I were pleasantly surprised by the gnocchi and aglio e olio pasta dishes. Both were excellent, as was the mussels starter, the secret lying in the choice of fine ingredients. Bravi! We did however have to ask to have the volume of the music lowered. It was jarringly loud. We were told that the volume was part of their “philosophy”, whatever that may be. We wanted a restaurant, not a discotheque. Hence a 4 rather than a 5. I hope you’ll take my tip and keep it low.

It is a sub par restaurant by all standards. First, the service is terrible. The waiters are not friendly and look quite angrily at you, they do not explain anything. Once the order is made they do not even look at you so you would have to shout to get anything else. The food comes in hours literally. We had to wait for pasta for 1 hour and 10 minutes and it came cold… Yes, the cold pasta for both guests (truffle and mussels pastas). The taste of pasta was average. The bruskettas they make are also bad. Just bread and tomatoes cut in 2 pieces. No taste, no creativity. So I would strongly not recommend going to this place.

Ho cenato in questo posto su consiglio di un amico e non sono rimasto deluso. i piatti erano molto buono e servizio veloce. personale molto gentile e disponibile. solo molto piccola critica, leggermente snots.

Passato pascolo in questo ristorante che già guadagna un buon voto solo con la vista. piatti molto ben confezionati, pesce fresco, personale molto gentile e sempre presente per tutto. prezzo coerente con posizione, servizio e cibo. ampia scelta per vini e menù senza restringimento. Torno subito.
