Ristorante La Pergola - 57/A

Ottimo ristorante, piatti sempre molto gustosi, ottimi anche i vini, per me un riferimento ogni volta che passo da San Daniele. Parte dell'unione dei piatti del buon ricordo, da socio dei collezionisti, mi permetto di sponsorizzare il menu del buon ricordo. Se lo prenderete vi verrà consegnato un piatto in ceramica dipinto a mano da artigiani di Vietri, rappresentativo della pietanza "del buon ricordo"

Qualità del cibo molto alta, il prosciutto si scioglieva in bocca. Molto scenica la cottura della carne sulla griglia a vista. Piatti tipici, un po' più alti i prezzi. Buono.

Un’esperienza superlativa, ogni cosa aveva la sua anima, dall’antipasto, alla costata, il vino proposto e il dolce (ovviamente fatto in casa). È veramente raro trovare locali di questo tipo, dove in ogni piatto si percepisce l’amore e il rispetto per il cibo. Complimenti!! E se siete in zona, bisogna provare almeno una volta, tanto poi ci ritornerete!!! Personale gentile e cortese, 5 stelle sono poche!!

Locale molto carino, accogliente, in buona posizione, offre un menù tipico con ottima scelta di prodotti locali. Ottimo il prosciutto! Anche i primi che le carni, in particolare la griglia e la tartare. Buono sia per pranzi veloci di lavoro, che per pasti completi in piena tranquillità. Buona la scelta dei vini, preferibilmente regionali. Personale simpatico, disponibile e cortese. Prezzi in linea con la qualità e la presentazione. Consigliato!!! Non resta che dire "buon appetito"

Locale con un'ottantina di posti suddivisi fra l'interno ed in verandato. Accogliente, in buona posizione, offre un menù tipico con ottima scelta di prodotti locali. Da anni presenta l'insegna dei Ristoranti del Buon Ricordo. Ottimi sia i primi che le carni, in particolare la griglia. Buono sia per pranzi veloci di lavoro, che per pasti completi in piena tranquillità. Buona la scelta dei vini, preferibilmente regionali. Prezzi in linea con la qualità e la presentazione.

Good lunch

Tourist trap; mischarging, upselling and low quality proscuito We had a very bad experience with this restaurant. At the core of it was a Steak Fiorentina (aka T-Bone steak) on the menu that we had asked some questions about and looked at with interest. The restaurant charged by weight so we had asked which sizes were available. The waitress informed us that the smallest was 1kg. Being two people this was on the high end (weightwise) but we decided to order this one. When the bill came they had charged for 1.3kg. We pointed this out by they claimed that the weight references were proximate and since the steak had been consumed by then, it was hard to establish the weight after the fact. I did not feel or look like anything more than 1kg, but this is a hard and difficult call to make after the fact. What is important is what is communicated and agreed. Despite our objections and the waitress´ admission that it was her fault, the owner / manager refused to take the extra off the bill and behaved very rudely. At euro 65 this was a very expensive steak and very big steak they had chosen to serve for two people. I had noticed during the ordering that the waitress was big on upselling. The steak came with potatoes, and given its size and our proscuito starter there was certainly more than enough food. Had we followed the waitress´ recommendations and suggestions for the number of starters and side dishes, it would have been a completely bizarre serving size. I would add that I have lived for years and travelled extensively in Italy and I can say with conviction that the Italians themselves are not big eaters. For Italians it is in no way conventional to gorge in such a fashion. With the overcharging issue in mind this left a bad feeling when seen as a context for the subsequent billing. I had two kinds of wine by the glass. One pinot nero (pinot noir) that was borderline sour but drinkable with the meat, and one glass of cabernet sauvignon which was acceptable but nothing special. This restaurant is basically in the Friuli wine area, which ,though focused in whites, have remarkable and very drinkable red wines (as does Italy). This was not at an acceptable level. The side dishes and starters were not at a good level. The local proscuito (ham) would be the reason to stop in this village, but it was really not impressive. The vegetable sides and salads were uninspired to say the least. The restaurant has live fire cooking which was appealing and cosy. Nonetheless, I would describe this best as a tourist trap that does not treat outside guests well at all. Our experiences in Udine were of a different and much higher level and I would advise to chose eating here over this example of a San Daniele restaurant. The problems with the price level, the quality of the ham and the service level that we had was also picked up in reviews before. I only noticed this after our visit as we had relied on its inclusion in the Michelin guide. Of course Michelin does not heap any praise on it such as bib gourmand or star, while also callling it a “simple standard”. But inclusion in the Michelin guide is normally, in my experience, a guarantee for a minimum level that was not met here.

Everything was awesome! ?
