Baldo The Saucy Pasta — Restaurant in Athens

I wasn't even able to order. I came with a friend who apparently had an issue with the cashier lady, and because of that she refused serving me. I told her I'm a different customer and I have nothing to do with your beef with my friend and she stated that she doesn't care and won't be serving us. Catastrophic service, catastrophic behavior and absolutely crazy to refuse a paying customer by law. 🤮 Update : your cashier is lying and I have it on video. I didn't want to video the 0rocess of making the food or anything, I started making the video because she refused serving me because I was with someone she had an issue with before, and not related to me. I have every proof and you should have cameras there to prove what I'm saying. Now saying other customers are satisfied have nothing to do with separate incidents like mine. You can contact me for video proof since I don't like to be...

I will visit again and try other combinations.

Edit: I came back two days later for some more pasta!

The max hero I was fantastic, cooked perfectly. The stewed beef and tomato sauce was great. Good flavor, tender meat.

In my taste, I think the pasta water needs a little more salt to really showcase how good the...

I said “Im not doing gluten today”but then I walked past this place... the smell of Smokey bacon wafting had already got me talking with another innocent by stander earlier in the day.. this time I walked past I was doing a post because Koumbara had already told me how great it was.. so anyways, the shop insisted they ‘kerasi’ me (treat me) a meal to which I said “ok, I’ll take it back home for my koumbara’s daughter Aria..but I thought I should always have a taste test.. Needless to say Aria isn’t going to even catch site of the box because each mouthful was better than the one before.. It was after all, 2.30 in the afternoon.. I hadn’t eaten anything yet, I’m on holiday and AND I’m on holidays in an Athens foodie paradise so there’s always tomorrow to go gluten Smokey bacon cheese...
