I have attempted to be fair with my review as the restaurant was at times pleasurable and the food 50/50. We ate here twice whilst staying nearby.

1st visit- The pizza was extremely oily but passably tasty on our first trip here. The service was slow but the staff were polite enough to us but audibly rude to other English speakers within the vicinity.

2nd visit- Seated quickly and offered a complimentary olive tapenade as an Entree. The waiter was then slightly rude when he rather ungracefully told me to “Wait, wait, wait” as I continued to give my order.

There was no pizza so we both had pasta, my partners was delicious but the sauce of my own was tasteless which was a shame as the prawns were delicious and had been deveined perfectly.

The reason though that the feeling of this place was so badly ruined was from a completely and unapologetically rude comment from the manager as she collected our plates.

“You should not put shells in a bread bowl, these are not for this, it is really not good”

“Oh I am sorry, I thought they’d all go to same basin to be washed”

“We’ll don’t worry, just so that you learn for the next restaurant you visit”

I apologised like the polite Englishman I am, however I observed that this comment was truly and utterly ridiculous when you consider they didn’t offer a finger bowl or empty bowl for the shells. In England I wouldn’t tolerate such a comment. Maybe it is she who should get lessons in etiquette before she tries to belittle someone in-front of complete strangers.
