I went to Restaurante La Cariola Sbusa on 01/09/22 with my wife and two small children and was treated with complete rudeness. I was assisted by a women, who told me ORALLY the dish of the day options. I, who don't speak perfectly Italian, asked him for more details about the dish while my wife asked the children what they would eat. It was then that out of the blue, the lady harshly told me that I should order right away as she had more tables to fill. I explained to her that I did not speak the language perfectly and that I could have a little patience, because we were four people, including two children, and that it was not easy for us to order in 20 (!) seconds.

Read moreVery poor experience indeed. We looked forward to going there as its always busy. Service was OK ish apart from the fact that our meals came 5 minutes apart. My tagliatelle beef was average but my wifes fried fish mixed platter was very poor, it was extremely dry and looked like plate scrapings (although it wasn't). When I commented to the waitress that it was dry she ignored it completely and left.
Trying to pay the was also a challenge as the man at front of house decided to serve other people before me even though I had been waiting longer, all he did was thrust the card machine at me and told me to "tap here" without even showing me the final bill. I am unable to reccomended this restaurant due to poor service and very...
