This is quite a story :)
The place was completely empty. It was raining. I came alone to eat and work quietly on my laptop. I sat at a table with four seats so I could eat and work. After the food come, the waitress refused to put the food down at my table, told me I had to sit at a single table.
I explained that I wanted to work and eat, and pointed out the place was completely empty.
She refused to give me my food, so I left.
That's when things got fun. The owner chases me out. I tried to explain but he was too busy hitting me and trying to steal my MacBook to listen
Anyway, eventually, after he took my glasses, I went back in and paid the 14 Euros.

... and no, they did not have reservations. The waitress said she didn't know if anyone was coming in
... and yes, after being hit and physically shoved multiple times over what is basically a civil matter, I did throw the pizza on...
