Pretty sure that Bruschetta should contain these key ingredients. Price Wow, what is a **** tear. I do not mind paying these prizes when the service and food suit. Asked why Bruschetta was just chopped tomato was welcomed by extreme ruthlessness and arrogance and no explanation. Then it was hit with a surcharge of 10%, I thought of my own oh, it must be a holiday that then realized that it was only a weekend. What a joke. Grief

I found it quite difficult to find a pizza joint that was kid friendly so we decided to try Rossini. Big big mistake. This restaurant has not changed in service or furnishings since the 1980's! No money has been spent and it shows. We ordered baby calamari, margarita and supreme pizza. To start the pizza is quite small. Maybe slightly larger than a small pizza. So on average about 4 decent size slices. The base was thinish but very crusty almost like eating pita bread. I would assume they don't make there own bases. The topping on the supreme pizza was just awful. The salami & sasuage looked overcooked and not fresh. Just real nasty looking. Not much in toppings either. The pizza's at pizza Hut or domino's are probably better than this place. Prices here are expensive but that's what you expect eating right on the quay but what I do expect is good quality food that we definitely did not recieve. Give this place a miss!

I enjoyed a second coffee and felt well regretted to visit the various attractions in the environment.

The risotto was the worst!! As in the worst I have ever had,...not pleasant at all!!! Rice was crunchy and the tomato sauce was so wrong and tasted awful!!! Pumpkin ravioli was at least eatable, but very disappointing!! Overall, do not recommend!!!
