What MouseCanberra doesn't like about Il Grillo Parlante:
We were disappointed with this restaurant that appeared to offer a good menu but the food was not up to scratch. Pasta dishes were acceptable, but the secondi (mains) were poorly cooked and presented. The waitress was surly and unhappy to be there. Never smiled once and we tried hard! View all feedback. What Jeanne L likes about Il Grillo Parlante:
Good food at a reasonable price. I had the advertised special 2 dishes for 15 euro. The restaurant was not busy on a Wednesday night. It's a bit hidden on Via di San Bernardo. View all feedback.
