Trattoria Al Refettorio Alghero
We stumbled on the Al Refettorio after walking around the narrow streets one hot evening. Trying to find a menu that suits all members of a family of 6 can be difficult . We also wanted somewhere with air conditioning too. This was a smart looking restaurant - but the whole atmosphere was ruined by two (yes 2) large televisions - 1 showing a beauty contest and the other football. The menu had some expensive dishes steak and seafood - but we stuck with the basic cheaper Italian pasta dishes. The portions were not very large - probably because they were meant to be part of a 3 or 4 course meal - but we were just having the one course.
The pasta dishes were really nice - if a bit small. The waiting staff could have been a bit nicer and - there was a long delay for one of the orders - we had all finished eating before it finally appeared. (I don’t think it was charged for anyway)
There was another problem here with the credit card reader (second time in Alghero) - so we had to pay cash and since we only had €65 euro in cash we got about €12 euro off the bill.
Nice - but not great was the overall verdict. Trying to be upmarket - but the TVs ruined any atmmosphere. Would not go back again.
