Restaurant Trattoria da Giovanni — Restaurant in Strasbourg

This place might have had it a long time ago. Nowadays, the owner tries to push the expensive wine per glass, is a bit forgetful, and the kitchen does not seem to try too much when cooking the food.

As the fish was very thin, it was overcooked and dry.

We spoke in both French and Italian, so like to think we were trying to be pleasant and friendly. We waited so long for food until the older gentleman (owner/maitre d’?) asked if we’d had our food! Our glasses sat empty and my partner’s beer glass was removed with no offer of further drinks. Expensive and so disappointing although food was good. There are so many more pleasant places to eat...
