Alhoewel ik wat laag zat (en niet heel lang ben) kon ik dineren met uitzicht op zee en de zonsondergang. Echt heel mooi. Although I sat relatively low (and I am also not very tall), I had a beautiful seaview during dinner, and could also see the sunset. Very pretty. Besides the big plus, there were also points for improvement. The staff didn't seem to be in a happy mood en did not ask our table(guests) if the food was right or if we wanted dessert. They just didn't came at all to check on us after serving the plates, although they did came by the other tables around us many times. Sidedishes of multiple people were conjoined to one bigger portion. The sauce we also ordered, was barely a portion for one person. I found the dishes relatively expensive compared to other restaurants and their similar dishes. The salad that I had, wasn't really a salad. It had lettuce on the plate with the most minimal (neutral) dressing I ever had. The meat was supposed to be medium (like ordered), but it turned out to be a very very rare version. The outside was charred (black) on the grill stripes. Didn't really like it, although expensive. Because of this experience and the lack of opportunity to order dessert, we decided to head home and get dessert elsewhere. Staff also did not spoke English (or refused to do so, dont know), so keep in mind that making a reservation over the phone has to be done in Italian. Despite a reservation and a correct confirmation, they weren't clear about our presence (where to sit, knowing about the reservation etc.). Finally: the menu is also strictly in Italian and some dishes can only be ordered for two, others can be ordered individually. That was confusing for some of our table guests, and the slightly irritated server did not help with making a decision about that :). I see a restaurant with opportunities and good reviews, but also alot of room for improvement. Those improvement points can easily be fixed with training of staff for example.

La Taverna Mandragola is a great place to go to if you like to eat great Italian food.They don't serve pizza but really delicious Gnocchi, Ravioli and other great noodle dishes. The noodles are served in a pan. If the weather is good, try to get a seat at the terrace. There you might get a seat with Oceanview.We've been there with 13 people and it was a great time.The waiters are speaking mainly Italian.
