Il Pozzo — Restaurant in Unione Comuni Garfagnana

We have been going to Il Pozzo for 15 years. We found this Unique restaurant when we first arrived to live in Italia. It was a little hard to find at first, but once found it fast becomes a favorite. It is a Slow Food Movement Restaurant. Slow Food is an organization that promotes local food and traditional cooking. It was founded by Carlo Petrini in Italy in 1986 and has since spread worldwide.

Having eaten here numerous times over the years , our experience was bad. Service was not good, food ranged from average to not good, I understand that every restaurant has an off day but when we asked to speak to the person in charge we did not expect " Do not cross my door ever again! Just cook at home!" Possibly the most arrogant , I couldn't care less answer ever.

Beware also the hidden cover charge .Should this not be on the menu we asked? The response was another classic, " If I put it on the menu , people would walk out!" Make your own judgement, but on the advice of the owner, we...
