Sotto Broletto — Restaurant in Reggio nell'Emilia

So, we stroll into this restaurant, which looks to be a nice restaurant ran by the family. But what a such foul mood the staff were. The vibe was awful. First up, the blonde lady, who I’m guessing owns the place, was just slamming chairs around while setting up tables. And her sidekick? Just as unfriendly. Then there’s this guy with a beard, probably another owner, who was in total funk. I politely asked him if they had internet and he just grumbled something like “this place is for eating’ while clearing our plates. Seriously? I’ve been to places that offer internet without acting like I’m asking for the moon. To top of it off, when we went to pay, they asked if they could just add everything together and split it six ways. I said no because we all ordered different stuff, some pricier than others, so it wouldn’t be fair. Then the grumpy blond lady came back and shouted in Italian to the cashier about how busy they were to split the bill. But guess what? I understand pretty well Italian, and said really? It just the six of us here to pay. The cashier, despite also being in a bad mood, realised things could get worse and split the bill anyway. We managed to sort it out, but then their internet was crap, so it took forever to pay because of them and not because of us. Honestly, I think they were just because there weren’t many places open on Mondays, so we didn’t have many other options. It is not worth going to, if you are expecting to have a calm meal and not...

Can't understand why Sotto Broletto does not have a higher score. Excellent food and service. We went on a Sunday. They stayed open late in the afternoon to feed lost and hungry athletes. I went back on the evening and had the mussels al diavalo and the fish mixed grill. Both extremely traditional and authentic. The Pizza was perfect as were the salads. Wonderful, friendly staff. The ambience is interesting in between old Italian buildings and half underneath an old covered walkway. Good prices for...

Locale situato nel famoso e caratteristico "voltone" tra piazza Prampolini e piazza S. Prospero. Accogliente ed elegante. Un po' caro a mio avviso, ma molto buona la cucina. Difficile trovare da parcheggiare e si paga. Per chi fosse interessato, da qui si può visitare il centro storico, infatti la pizzeria si trova tra due delle più importanti piazze della città. A breve distanza anche dai giardini pubblici (ricchi di monumenti oltre che a dirmi di una bellissima fontana che è stata appena restaurata e rimessa in funzione), dai civici musei (che ospitano numerose opere d'arte oltre ad antichi reperti recentemente ritrovati nella nostra provincia) e dai teatri. Non posso fare a meno di nominare il teatro Valli, bellissimo edificio dove si è tenuto il famoso concerto durante il quale si esibì il tenore Luciano Pavarotti. Attraversando piazza S. Prospero si trova la Basilica di S. Prospero dedicata al Santo Patrono, proseguendo a destra si raggiunge piazza Fontanesi, antica area di mercato attorniata da bellissimi edifici storici, poco più avanti si può vedere ciò che resta delle mura, risalenti all'antica Roma, continuando per via Ludovico Ariosto di giunge in piazza Roversi, detta anche piazza del Cristo poiché dirompenti ad essa è situata l'omonima chiesa, ora rumena, e poi per corso Garibaldi, si arriva alla Basilica della Ghiara, antico santuario mariano. Per finire, di fronte e a pochi passi dalla Ghiara troviamo piazza Gioberti con il suo caratteristico obelisco, e...
