BEWARE! We were staying locally and wanted to spend our last night away from the crowds of Amalfi. This place was nearby and had good reviews, so we went.
The man who sat us was also our waiter. He was very personable and asked where we were from. It turned out that his friend owns a restaurant very close to where we are at home. Small world. He keeps chatting with us and eventually moves over to our 19-year-old daughter. He tells her that she has pretty eyes and asks how old she is. Once she tells him, he asks her if he can friend request her on Facebook. He looked to be in his early 20s, so we thought it was harmless.
Turns out that he is 31 YEARS OLD. We ate dinner and got ready to leave. We started to leave, use the bathroom, walk to the car, etc. When my husband and I are out of the building, he pulls my daughter towards him and moves in for the "Italian" double kiss. When she reacts, confused at why this grown man is trying to kiss her, he moves in for a real kiss (with his tongue). Again, he is 31 years old- she is 18.
We head into town for gelato, and when we get out of the car she pulls me aside and tells me what just happened. I am BEYOND livid. My husband and I get back into the car (my daughter was too ashamed to go back) and we head directly back to the restaurant. I scream at him that he's a disgusting pervert, and I tell the older man who is standing by wondering why an American woman is ready to rip this pig apart what he did.
He said he was sorry and that he was "playing".
Couldn't tell you anything about the food because I felt so sick by then.
Stay away. read more
