We ordered staters and main course only to be told 10 minutes later that my first choice of mains ‘ravioli’ had sold out! I was then left to choose another for 10 minutes and selected ‘tortellini’ to be told this was also sold out. I ended up with Vegetable Lasagne which to be honest looked no different to the chicken cannelloni my husband had. How can an Italian restaurant run out of pasta dishes on a Saturday night? The girl serving us didn’t know what to do and we were then passed to another server who we could clearly hear her asking other diners ‘ how was your meal, did you enjoy? But we got nothing ! This tasted like bought in food that was reheated to serve, how can an Italian restaurant not make extra ‘ravioli’ to meet demand? Don’t waste your hard earned money here there are far nicer Italian restaurants to eat from !
