Wagamama — Restaurant in Azzano San Paolo

I was quite disappointed with this restaurant, especially since I've visited numerous Wagamama locations in the UK; this was my first experience trying it in Italy. I was surprised to find that instead of the usual Asian noodles, they used Italian spaghetti in the soup and the broth was surprisingly tasteless. Additionally, the pork belly lacked the crispy texture I'm accustomed to and had a noticeably different colour compared to what I've had in the UK, also the vegetables on-the-side were typical Italian salad greens, very different from the Asian vegetables you get at locations in the UK. Overall, my satisfaction was quite low. After dining here, I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. It seems like the chain may need to make some improvements in Italy, as it appears to be cutting corners that aren't happening in the UK, and this discrepancy is evident. On a positive note, I must mention that our waitress was exceptionally...

we ordered two types of ramen, both ramen were completely tasteless, both came warm, the broth is just terrible, it feels like they used instant powder to cook it (you can’t call this broth "rich chicken broth" as described in the menu), nudels seem to be overcooked or they not tasty by itself…we ordered for the child from the menu for kids mini chicken katsu, it's panko chicken, rice, and there were vegetables on the side of the plate. the dish again came warm, and not hot as we would like. the child ate the schnitzel with pleasure, about the rice, the rice was very tasteless, it was not tasty, it was not because it was cold, but the rice itself was either overcooked or something else… all this pleasure cost us a lot (if the food is delicious, then there are no price pretensions , and here the price definitely expensive for what you get). Don’t...

Unfortunately this location doesn’t like business. We showed up to a completely empty restaurant aside from a couple of people who had just been sat. We were brought to sit right beside those people despite the entire restaurant being empty and them having a large number of tables.

As I’m a pregnant woman, I didn’t feel comfortable sitting on backless stools and nonetheless right up against other people.

We then asked if we could sit somewhere else and were asked if we have a reservation (on a day when the mall is virtually empty) and because we didn’t, they wanted to seat us on the laps of another couple. We decided to leave as we aren’t going to pay an establishment that behaves in this way. I’m not sure of the name of the girl who seated us, but can recall she had strange tattoos on her face.

0/10 wouldn’t...
