Coloseum - Pizzeria — Restaurant in Topoľčany

I haven't had the chance to enjoy the so much praised pizza at this place. I was robbed of this chance by the waiter's attitude in what I call it a "let me be, I'm bothered by you and I am lazy" attitude. We went to this place on pretty sunday afternoon, sat at a table outside and with a crunching hunger in our bellies, we started chatting, hoping to shorten the time till the pick up order and the delivery. The time in such hungry moments is highly relative, it is easily influenced by the severity of the hunger. However, I can easily count 15 minutes till we realised something was fishy. We were helped in reaching our realisation by the fact that the door was opened and no one was at the other tables of their terrace. We feared the worst and with a racing heart, I went inside hoping that all the waiters are still alive and well. Fortunately, I found them well and safe, gathered together at the corner of their desk, happily speaking and debating what it looked like a nice sunday topic. In the race of the moment, I didn't have the inspiration to ask what they were speaking of. Meanwhile, my hunger reminded me why I was there, and I dared asking them for service outside. I was prompted with the widest and the most fake smile I have ever seen and was told in a genuine bored and dismissive tone "we don't serve outside". I would have told them that the umbrellas, the tables and chairs are a bit misleading about this, but my slovak skills are limited. At this moment, I realised that hunger is just as relative as the time is and decided to head for another place. On a positive note, we appreciated very much their chairs. They looked really nice and comfortable, but actually they were not. For this reason, I give them a generous one...

There's a big space to improve in management. Here're my observations: We came as a couple, ordered 2 soups, starter and 2 main dishes. Restaurant was full on 70%. We got our soups after 20 minutes of placing order, 5 minutes later they brought us starter and one main dish. So my partner had to hurry up with soup to enjoy his meals warm. And I was still waiting for my pizza. When he had finished with his meal, waiter came and we asked for bill. I thought he had forgotten about my pizza, but he said yours one is nearly baked. I've just cancelled it. He even didn't apologized for that, just offered free pizza and I refused. We experienced even rude waitress who was arrogant to guests next to us. Another waiter was coming quiet often to table, where were sitting his friends and didn't pay attention to the rest of tables. Even one of chef came to chat with that table. If they paid attention to orders and didn't prioritised some guests, the overall experience could be different. Offer free smile and brought dishes in same time could made huge difference or simply politely inform guests when the dishes will be ready. I think it doesn't cost a lot and can make huge impact, but it has to come from management. I can fairly to compare it, as I work as manager in hospitality. Hope this feedback will be...

Very good restaurant with lot of variety of pizzas, pastas and other dishes. Cocktail HUGO was oversweet but still fresh and good. Mushroom soup was very tasty and soft. Pizza was slim and delicious (not the best i had but enough). Dessert caramel MARLENKA was tasty too. Sure if you want more quiet and little "elegant" place, you...
