AL DENTE Monument — Restaurant in London

Good pasta but eating in the restaurant isn't very nice. It doesn't feel like the staff enjoys working there and they weren't welcoming at all. Online orders are definitely a priority here.

We got in and were completely soaked from the rain. Nobody welcomed us. The man behind the counter only talked to us after we approached and asked for two seats.

I went to the restroom over 10 times within 2-3 hours, and it continued throughout the night. The next day, I still had stomach pain, and even today—two days later—the pain persists.
