089 ZeroOttoNove corso — Restaurant in Salerno

I'm never going back there again. First two times were great, but a third time was a nightamre. It started with a waitress spilling two full drinks on me. I was chill about it, because it was an accident, but I expected to not pay for coperto or the drinks, because they should be on the house. She gave us a bill and it said 1,20 €, so everything was good, because I felt that I got some kind of retribution. But then another waitress came, took that bill and brought another for 26 €. To say I was speechless is an understatement. And then another waiter came and told us that we have to pay this 26€, even after I asked him what's the retribution for spilled drinks, since my jeans were all soked in alcohol, and it's February, by the way :) and he went to the bar to ask and came back with an information that we don't have to pay for the spilled drinks 🙃 really? We didn't spill them so why would we pay anyway??? So since I didn't get any retribution, maybe I should bring them the bill for my loundry 🙂 One thing is certain - it was the worst service I have...

We came here twice during our stay in Salerno, and had two widely divergent experiences. On our first visit, we had an excellent time. We were served by two wonderful young men who were friendly and charming. The food was excellent, as was the wine. This is why we returned the next day, hoping to repeat the experience. Unfortunately, this time we were unlucky enough to be served by someone who we think is the “manager”. This gentleman should not be working in customer service. He was rude and unhelpful, incredibly so. My father described him as a “miserable sod”. It was a lesson in how you can have a different experience at the same establishment, just depending on who assists you. Mercifully for us, one of our friends from the night before took over, and our evening was rescued. Five stars for the two young men. Perhaps one of them should get a sudden...

Walking by considered a grab and go, yet Mattia insisted we sit, relax & enjoy. Besides the 4 tables out front he had several tables in a welcoming corridor.

We had wraps, salads, flavored teas, dessert and Gelato.

I asked Mattia if he was the owner or General manager, he said I'm. Just a.
