L'Etoile Focacceria Rosticceria

We tried Messina specialties and specifically pidoni and focaccia and there was nothing to complain about, really good. The location is nice also because it is on the sea. In fact, the only flaw in the service I gave 2 stars is the lack of professionalism. Let's start with the unkind girl who served us at the tables, if we ask kindly for information it is right that we respond equally kindly. In the end the result is that he made us confused because what we were asking for was written on the menu so we didn't ask for anything extra he told us that it couldn't be done because there was confusion so they had decided like this ergo... Say it first that we begin to decide. We arrive at the moment of payment.. We go to the cash register, I pay, we leave after exactly 5 minutes the owner approaches me or I don't know who he is and in front of everyone he tells me with a shocked face that I can go back in because there was a problem. Having paid by card, even though the payment was successful, I panicked because writing it doesn't make it clear how he called me. However, I go in and he tells me that we had paid €35 less. We had seen the receipt first because, being a nice group, there could have been errors so the bill was correct. Obviously they were wrong. We paid the bill right.

Rude staff. Called to book, but they told us on the phone that they don't take reservations, only on a first come, first served basis. We arrived at 7pm to sit down, there was nobody and they didn't let us sit, because according to them, there were people who had booked earlier (for groups of more than 10 people). Transparency, hospitality, kindness equal to zero. We had the impression that the problem was the children ..
