Gastro duo desperate – authorities ban guest garden in St. Gilgen

Date:

Curfew at 10pm, strict ban on eating outside: Stricter rules apply to “La Cantinetta” in Salzburg’s St. Gilgen than other local restaurants – due to a dispute with neighbours.

For dessert there is a free visit from the police! If you visit “La Cantinetta” in the center of St. Gilgen, you should hurry. The curfew is there – unlike many other inns in the immediate vicinity – at 10 p.m. The management monitors this strictly. Because the owners of the Italian restaurant are at odds with a neighbor.

“In Italy something like that would be completely unthinkable”
“She probably decided to ruin us,” Giuseppe Marchese said in despair. The owner and chef of “La Cantinetta” no longer understands the world. “Something like that would be unthinkable in Italy,” he says firmly. Time and again, his neighbor sends the police to his house. “She just waits for our guests to leave the restaurant at 10:01 PM,” said Giuseppe’s wife Zuzana. The couple was even visited twice by the financial police.

But that’s not all: the restaurant has no outdoor dining area and the authorities have rejected all requests – apparently after complaints from the same neighbor. “In a summer resort like St. Gilgen, that’s great. In the surrounding restaurants, people sit outside until late in the evening,” says Marchese. The native Italian has applied for a mini guest garden with two tables for a total of four people – but in vain. There are currently two small benches in front of the entrance to the restaurant: “At least our guests can have a drink there.” A larger terrace had to be demolished beforehand.

The gastro couple definitely wants to stay in town
In his distress, Marchese turned to the district administration and the community. But the situation is confused and there is no solution in sight. The gastro couple doesn’t want to give up. “We love the place and the people. Our children go to school in St. Gilgen”, they emphasize in unison. But: “We have already set our sights on a new location for our restaurant in St. Gilgen.”
