Al solito posto — Restaurant in Florence

I generally do not write reviews while travelling and especially not Italy but this place really did not rub me the right way. Went to the super hyped Al Solito Posto. We arrived a little early for our 8pm reservation at 7.45. The restaurant was empty and there was noone to seat us.

One female server seemed very angry at one of the male staff which she didn't hide from anyone. Our server brought the pizza and our wine but didn't seem interested in us after that. The appetizer was grossly undercooked and arrived without a word of explanation or apology after we had almost finished our pizzas. Very disappointing from a relatively highly rated restaurant. Would not bother to...
