The rating here unfortunately is purely about the food. Starters Olives and bread, and garlic bread with cheese. The bread with the olives was ok, however the olives were not particularly nice strongly overpowered by rosemary, and generally lacking firmness. Garlic bread was bland the dough used was quite bland as well. Mains Vegetariana pizza. The dough couldn't stand up to the weight and moisture of the toppings, so became soggy and just disintegrated. Vegetables were cut too thick for how fast pizza cooks, so they were essentially raw. Sauce was not great, essentially had the flavour of basic tinned tomatoes or the pizza sauce you get in bags from catering supply like Makro etc. Sea bass Sea bass is my favourite fish. Unfortunately in this case, the sea bass had an astringent taste of overcooked lemon that tainted the fish, the skin was slimy yet the top charred and the flesh itself was dry/tainted with astringency. I have never not finished food when out at dinner, but unfortunately this was inedible. I can handle bland but the fish was actually ruined, sadly. Side of vegetables was bland, just some steamed thick cut carrots and broccoli nothing creative, just like what you got as a kid from your parents. I have never ever complained in a restaurant, the thought of doing so actually makes me really uncomfortable so this meal was a first for me, as I felt like I had to pass some comments to the chef. Apparently the fish is cooked skin side down, on lemon, in a hot oven. This is how we ended up with the tainted, slimy yet dry experience with the bass. Again, the waiter was great, but unfortunately I don't think we will be returning. A discount on the bill was offered, however I declined I would rather the feedback be taken onboard menu changed appropriately.
