I had the unpleasant opportunity to dine at Borgo Sant'Anna. Two guests chose a guided menu, while a third had no fish. Both menus were unpleasant. Two courses, the first courses, were completely ignored by the guests - we send them back to the kitchen. The entire menu was too salty, including the second courses, which were eaten more out of hunger than pleasure. The appetizers were acceptable, without any particular sparkle, worthy of a Michelin star. We opted for the wine pairing. One of us was unlucky enough to be served last, resulting in him being poured about 50 ml of wine. The sommelier didn't open a new bottle—claiming it was "the last night before seasonal closure"—a disgraceful behavior. The chef kindly came to the table: we expressed the opinion that the dishes were too salty, so much so as to be inedible. In response, we were asked where we were from (Milan), and were told, "Puglian cuisine is savory, and I cook very savory, not salty." Really ridiculous. A shameful experience, with a cost about €190 each. A year later, and after trying other Michelin restaurants, I wonder how this chef earned a Michelin star.
In addition to the awful food and wine pairing experience at 22.30 they starts to clean the kitchen. We were in a table next to the kitchen and during the dessert was really unpleasant to hear the smell of chemical products. We left before finish our dinner.
