"Truly one of the worst dining experiences of my life. Not one thing was positive about the dinner except the nice female server. But even she disappeared about stopping by the table twice to take our order. The restaurant itself is very claustrophobic and run down. I don’t think they’ve put one dollar into renovating any of the wickedly old restaurant. Seats are worn out. Tables are beat up. Decor is dated and sad. Cutlery is cheap and dinged up. That being said, the food and the service is where things went from bad to worse. When we walked in my girlfriend was put off by our small table, where servers barely had room to walk by you without hitting your elbows. I told her that the food was probably much better since it is an old Italian family run restaurant. Boy was I wrong. I’ve never been to a restaurant that phones it in more than this one. All the food was atrociously bad. It’s almost like they lied about being Italian. My salad’s produce was wilted and not very fresh. The tomatoes were an absolute joke. Cold, bland, and tasteless. Which makes no sense because everywhere I drove through the UK I could find amazing tomatoes at farmer stands and stores. So they are clearly not putting any money towards good ingredients. Cheap. They provide the table with oil and vinegar which was the first sign that we were in for a bumpy ride. The “olive oil” was almost crystal clear with zero taste. It clearly wasn’t olive oil and instead Canola oil. I asked one of the male servers if I could get a side of olive oil and he told me that the oil in the dispenser on the table was their olive oil. I was dumbfounded by this and asked him for the good olive oil that they cook with and he said that the oil on the table was the oil they cooked with. Once again. Cheap. The main courses finally arrive after a long wait and the pasta was not even on par with elementary school cafeteria pasta and the pizza was even worse. Totally bland. The ingredients once again were trash. Cheap. To call it Italian food is laughable at best. And then the atrocious service. The owner of the restaurant was there, walking past our table a million times but never once addressed us until the very end when I asked for change so I could tip. Both he and the other elderly male server would rush every conversation to the point where it felt like we were bothering them. And believe me I was super polite and kind through the whole process. Every time I asked for anything, I could never get my full request out because the server would run off while I was still talking. Extremely rude and dismissive. My girlfriend and I had pizza at the shopping mall the next day and the pizza was 100 times better. And this was a chain in a mall. Save yourself the money and frustration and AVOID this restaurant unless you want to be scammed into buying a lot of cheap and tasteless food by rude people. Such a joke."
