I was invited, and had already accepted.
It seemed poor form to then decline after reading the reviews! :lol:

It was surprisingly un-terrible. Not great by any means, but OK.
I had a few glasses of wine before I went out (in a taxi, of course!) and then a few more with the meal, so that helped!

“Please take his Italian passport away !!”
Reviewed March 19, 2013
It is incredible , never had a worse dinner in my life , and I wasn't expecting to be in one Italian restaurant .... This place is a real insult to all the people who work hard everyday promoting the real Italian way of cooking , they should ban the owner to use anything that recall Italy even though he is Italian I heard.
FOOD : terrible , even worse then terrible , really ! Believe me , this is not the place where to have good food in general , not just Italian one . Starter : something that was supposed to be a pizza or a bruschetta or what ?? The result was just a terrible small-hard shoe sole , if you throw it to feed the pigeons in Piazza San Marco in Venice , they will all migrate forever to another city .
Then the Carpaccio di carne : if I was the cow I would be so angry to discover that I gave my life to finish in a dish so poorly done ! How can you go wrong doing a dish with raw flesh? tasteless , way too thick , Horrible oil and even more horrible cheese to garnish the dish . My condolences to the poor cow , you should have lived till 100 years !
Pasta : never ever had such a "schifezza" (disgusting) in my entire life ! Had the idea to order the Spaghetti alla bottarga (salted mullet role) : spaghetti clearly overcooked , well let's say roasted , because they were passed for way too much time in the hot oil with garlic . So , stone spaghetti , tasting just of garlic and the bottarga ?
Main course : fish . I do not want to describe what arrived on the table , I just want to try to forget if possible .
And , the dessert ? Well , needless to say that it was the gran FINALE !! They asked me if I wanted a Italian coffee but we just left without it , I didn't want to cry at the table , I couldn't take anything more from there .
Never ever in my life and possibly also in the next one will come back to this place .
If you have anyone you really hate , buy a voucher for a dinner here and send them in a anonymous letter : the revenge is a dish which need to be served cold . Here is the rite place .
