Taverna Dell'800 — Restaurant in Sorrento

Let me preface this review by saying that this was the second time me and my wife ate at this restaurant and that I don't usually give bad reviews.

However, on our second visit i found, after chewing it, what looked like a rusty old staple from a staple gun in my pizza. I told our waiter who then took it off and showed someone, I presume this was the manager. I was expecting someone to come over and maybe apologise at the very least but nothing. I raised the issue again when our plates where taken to which I got a shrug of the shoulders "not my fault".

I find it utterly unacceptable that something like this can find its way into the base of a pizza. We had planned to have dessert, all that was required was a sorry and that would of been it, but we were just met with nonchalant replies. After this we promptly paid and went our merry way.

If anyone any the restaurant is reading this and would like to make sure it doesn't happen again and that perhaps the staff are a little bit more concerned this happened on the 20th August at 19:15 and we were talking to the gentleman...

We ordered the muscles pasta, the sea bass, and the full course rocket salad NOT a starter salad. Muscles and wine were good, pasta resembled asian more than Italian and not in a good way. Asian food soars over this pasta. First they brought a toddler sized portion clearly a starter salad as it was missing the rocket salads parmesan and olives. After correcting they brought the same sized salad back with a measly 5 olives and a finger pinch of cheese. The sea bass was enough to feed a wiener dog and was ice cold upon getting it. After telling them the fish was cold they said they could reheat it and we explained to just forget the fish we did not want re heated fish. They then forced the plate back onto our table after reheating right after we quite literally told them we did not want the fish anymore. This place is not Italian from the dishes we got and I do not recommend spending your precious...

We are Italian-American from New York. This was the ONLY bad meal we had during our 2 weeks in Italy. I made two mistakes:

1. I let someone outside encourage me to come in, and
2. I missed the sign in English outside that said "Family Restaurant". The meal started good. I ordered a decent glass of red wine, and a cold seafood salad (which really was excellent). My wife ordered a pasta dish with red sauce, and I ordered a pizza. My pizza tasted like something frozen that was microwaved - a thin hard crust and bad sauce. The red sauce on my wife's pasta tasted like I imagine Ragu sauce tastes like (just a guess because I would never consider buying or eating Ragu). We could not finish our meals. If I was not in a foreign country I would have refused to pay. So to recap, see my two mistakes above, and don't repeat them in any...
