Osteria Casa Italia — Restaurant in Malcesine

Worst meal I've had in Italy. Cold and bland Spaghetti, potatoes drenched in oil (seemed reheated multiple times).

The waiter was kind to us claiming he had the best food in Italy. He said if the food wasn't the best we wouldn't have to pay for it - even shook on it. That's how he got us to sit down.

We could see other customers getting their food that were ther long after us. We did not get any customer service while waiting, like an excuse and something extra to drink. Almost 1 hour later than our kids we got the food. 1 pasta and 1 grilled salmon with vegetables. It cost 95 euro! Worst dinner and by far most...
