Do go and try this fine Italian restaurant out -well-located in Leicester Square, authentic atmosphere, candle-lights, a most welcome basket of olives, fresh bread, and butter for seated customers, fairly priced Italian menu and matching wine-list, delicious desserts (check out the limoncello ice-cream …)
All good and pampering, but then again don’t miss the garlic decorations all over the restaurant (to scare away bad spirits?!), the running up and down non-Italian waiters and waitresses -exaggerated hospitality, tensely in shambles to please the “Big Brother” ... watching over them. Their unease was so noticeable that it truly reminded me of Orwell’s 1984 …
It’s good when a customer gets attention from staff, but please if I want to wait 20 min to continue with a dessert after a stodgy main meal, don’t come into my face every 5 min and ask me whether I’d like a dessert or not … Unless you want me out.
