Trattoria Pugliese Acquasala — Restaurant in Milan

I went there with my girlfriend and we wanted to have a nice romantic dinner. We weren´t very hungry so we just ordered two pasta dishes. First of all, the waiter was very rude. He spoke just Italian with us even though he knew that we do not understand him. And the restaurant is located at Navigli so in a very touristic area. We wanted to order a white wine by glass, but he said that we can only order a whole bottle. The pasta dishes were not Italian at all. In general, is was just pasta with some sauce.

The pasta also was serves about 5 minutes after we ordered so they did not really put effort. So, we decided to do something we never did before. Nearly without touching our dish, we payed and left. Even though we ordered the check without touching our food the waiter did not care. At least here they should have asked what was wrong.

Considering the area is full of NON (real) Italian restaurants - I would definitely choose to come eat here again (even though it’s a Puglia-based restaurant.) You...

We asked nicely for a table for 6, the told us unless everyone is there they won’t give us any. Then they gave us the table in the furthest corner of the restaurant, ignoring us for atleast 15 min. When we finally ordered we told them right away that for one person the meal should arrive as soon as possible since they have to leave. We waited for almost 1.30h asking continuously about the food. They responded rude, telling us to calm down. The food had no taste while the beer and wine were not drinkable. When we noted it to the waiter, he told us since we’re German we wouldn’t know how wine...
