Penelope a casa — Restaurant in Milan

So my partner and I always have a drink at el buscia the enoteca across the road as we live close by. I always noticed the sparkling interior from the window and the beautiful garden creeper that frames the door. So before my booking , I read the reviews and had a sense of what we were getting into. Upon our arrival we were greeted very nicely by the host and she took our coats and sent us to the table.. the interior (I am an interior designer) so I have to say the interior is really special, glamorous and interesting. I now understand all the instagram influencer ahha who constantly book out this place. We booked out table 3 weeks earlier to get the 8 30pm slot. Ok so to my review , I have to say we had a pleasant evening in general. We had good service , however I noticed and commented with my boyfriend these waiters are a bit intense. One they all dressed in black with ear pieces which make them look like body guards , the other thing is you can see they are pushing the restaurant to get the tables turned from the 8 30 to the 10pm service. They kept filling our glasses of wine even if I only had 3 sips. It was hard to relax watching them going up down up down at gods speed. I'm not saying it's a bad thing that there was service at the table just it's very very pushy. I think the point of this specific restaurant is more of an event restaurant where every 30 minutes there was a cake coming out with the same song playing . So in general go in mind knowing it's a "face paced" turn around of 2 hours. We later went to the bar for a drink and finally there we felt like we could relax. All in all , it was nice , I enjoyed it the food was good. I really wish the owners can do something about the pushy atmosphere or get the waiters to come across relaxed and maybe not overlook the restaurant so much that give some tables a chance to "eat slow...

Unfortunately isn't possible to give 0 star for the review, even 1 start is too much. Starting from the beginning, to book a table for 2 people, for the Christmas lunch was a nightmare; we booked the table A MONTH in advance and we had to call between me and the other person, more then 10 times for a week to understand if our reservation was made or not. Then finally our reservation was confirmed. So today we were super happy until we reach the restaurant, the location is 10+ but the service is under the 0, they gave us an arranged table under the window next to the bar, i repeat ARRANGED table, only to fit two more person for the Christmas Lunch, because if i pay 170€ for the lunch i expect my table to be the same at the others and not arranged. The Manger of the store, Daniele, wasn't helping us at all, saying that they decide to whom give the tables reserved, and that one was the only table available for us he said, so basically we had to pay as the others customer but we had the worst table in the restaurant, with the manager telling us:"probably is the first time that you came so that's why you don't know the restaurant, we never received a complaint from anyone;" just a little spoiler i saw other 2 review of customer having the same table and weren't happy at all. Last but not the least, we asked our money back of course after this excellent service and the manager asked us to send an email asking why we wanted our money back. Of course we had our money back without any email and i thanks the whole restaurant to ruin our...
