We both ordered the Italian sandwich, which included Italian meats, cheese, and giardiniera. Since I’m of Italian descent, I’m quite familiar with giardiniera and often eat it straight from the jar. However, after just a few bites, the sandwich was overwhelmingly spicy and not enjoyable. I removed the giardiniera, but it still didn’t taste right, so I asked for a to-go box to avoid wasting the sandwich. While at the counter, I suggested they should indicate if the giardiniera is particularly hot or extra spicy. The male staff member replied that it was Sicilian giardiniera, with peppers that aren’t traditional, and proceeded to argue with me. I calmly explained why it’s important to inform customers upfront. The attitude of the staff member was unprofessional, and someone like him shouldn’t be handling customer interactions. It wouldn’t have taken much effort to simply mark “hot” on the chalkboard alongside giardiniera. Unfortunately, this experience has put me off from returning.
