Ferdinando's Eatalian — Restaurant in Sheffield

Ok quality food and decent service. Didn’t appear to have the same vibe prior to the roof collapsing but maybe the staff and atmosphere are slightly on the rusty side. I was sat right beside the front door and every time the someone came in I was either kicked via one side of my chair or I had a hand on my shoulder or a coat brushed across my head as I was attempting to enjoy my meal. I ordered lasagna for mains and couldn’t believe the size of it, it was a child’s portion (little Italy in Dronfield much better value for money) luckily my wife left some of her mains as she was full so at least I didn’t got home hungry. The meatball starter was nice but was only 3 meatballs and loads of sauce. Ice cream was nice but not much else to choose from. Probably give a few years before I go again next time as there’s many other Italians in the area which I know I won’t leave feeling hungry from. Don’t remember the portion sizes being so small prior to the roof collapse. By all means go if you have some rustlers cheese burgers in the fridge when you get back home, or just order 2 mains then...

Firstly the wrong order was delivered to our table. When we did get our main meal we had to wait 5 min for vegetables to arrive . We substituted roast potatoes for chips . Roast potatoes arrived no chips . We asked what had happened to the chips . They arrived nearly at the end of our meal and they were cut really thin as if needed to be cooked quick. Around us chips were coming out like proper chips. Two meals out of 6 were that bad they were left. On complaining no substitute meals came two people sat watching the rest of us eat. Two other meals the salmon was over cooked and the chargrilled carrots were burnt. When paying the bill they didn’t charge for the two meals not eaten . It wasn’t until later we noticed we were charged £3.00 for the small plate of chips which should have been instead of the potatoes. We left and had to go and purchase food...

I had the most upsetting experience when making a telephone reservation and spoke to someone who was very rude. I asked about corkage charges and when I was told it was £3.50 I asked for clarification of whether this was per bottle as most places charge £1.50. He then must have incorrectly assumed that i was complaining about the charge and started to tell me that if I didn't want to pay corkage then I can drink his wine and how no-one has ever complained about the charges before, in a very rude and aggressive tone. His attitude upset me that much that I just said cancel the reservation please and hung up. He then sent me a text message that read 'Madam This is a restaurant not a market stall we're you go and barter' I treat people with respect, this man clearly has no understanding of the word and...
