Hope this helps at least one person, preferably hundreds. Stay AWAY from the Ristorante San Pietro in the lovely fishing village of Cetara on the Amalfi Coast. No menu/no prices/attempted wine substitution(caught that one--and apparently from discussions with friends this is a common problem)but the piece de resistance: ONE UNORDERED entree(shared by 2 people) that they charged 44E for. Being taken advantage of put us in a bad mood for the entire week. Also, beware: apparently there is no consumer protection by Visa in foreign countries. PLEASE AVOID THIS ESTABLISHMENT!

Sorry - I don;t understand the unordered entree. Did they bring something you didn't order and you refused it and they charge you anyway? Or did they bring it and you ate it - then objected to the price?

It's unusual in Italy not to have a menu posted outside - and I would always ask for one - with prices - before ordering - unless money is no object.

actually we rarely found menus outside on this trip-what we considered a strange phenom but had never been to S Italy before. We were getting ready to leave, they came out with the entree, we said "no, no"...ah, especial especial...he plated it up,dividing it between two, we picked a bit and even might have felt okay paying for the one entree but 44 E(equivalent of $70!!) for one fish?? sorry: scam scam scam

You probably did order it. It was probably fish, and it was probably charged by the etto (100 grams). 44 Euro for a main course of fish for two people is not overpriced.

Sorry, our messages overlapped. I was looking up prices while composing mine.

O

He was speaking Spanish?

You ordered fish. You weren't aware that it's charged by the gram. It's very expensive, especially with the lousy exchange rate.

Not a scam.

Only if the fish weighed less than, say, 1.5 pounds were you overcharged.
