I don’t usually write negative reviews, but I feel compelled to share my experience. If you're looking for good, high-quality Italian food, this isn’t the place. We ordered the seafood pasta, and it was cold in the centre, which clearly indicated it had been reheated, not freshly cooked. When we brought this to their attention, they asked if I wanted it microwaved... which didn’t feel right.
We also ordered an Aperol Spritz, but it had no effervescence at all. It was obvious they used a bottle of flat Prosecco. To make matters worse, nothing seemed to go right. The pizza topping was just okay— the tomato sauce was sweet, though the pastry was nice.
The manager did come over to discuss our concerns and offered to make a fresh seafood pasta, but we declined. We did ask the waiter to remove the pasta from the bill since we hadn’t touched it, especially considering it was cold seafood pasta. However, he didn’t take the Aperol Spritz off the bill, even though we mentioned it was flat and my partner barely took a sip.

Read moreDO NOT EAT HERE!
Myself and my partner ate here two days ago, I had the gnocchi four cheese and he had a pizza. We shared our starters, I had a slice of his pizza and he had a forkful of my gnocchi.
Since eating the gnocchi I have been incredibly ill. We are around 10pm, and by 04:30am I was stuck on the toilet for over an hour with it coming out both ends. throughout the day I continued feeling unwell, every half hour I had to go to the loo to either throw up or poo like water. By 4-5pm I was no throwing up BLUE SICK! Unheard of in the western world but after a lot of research it turns out it’s most likely copper sulphate poisoning! which can be fatal. DO NOT EAT HERE. This can happen due to improperly stored foods in cans and improperly stored oils.
I spent my whole day yesterday throwing up and pooing continuously, and that has continued over into today.
I traced back everything I ate and drank, and the four cheese gnocchi is the ONLY thing it can be.
Please be super cautious. And to the people working in that kitchen… make sure you stored your food and oils correctly, you could literally KILL SOMEONE!
It’s a shame Asia doesn’t have food trade and standards because if they did, they’d of had a call by now.
I am not one to complain, nor am I one to leave any reviews, but this is simply for the...
