Pepperonis Hàng Trống — Restaurant in Hà Nội

So you've had your fill of pho and bahn mi and want a taste of something Western? This is a good spot for families and budget-conscious diners who want a decent Italian taste without breaking the bank or struggling through a schwankier place. This is a very relaxed, family-friendly place with some surprisingly tasty food.

I opted not to go for pizza, and they have plenty of other options. The Spaghetti Seafood was surprisingly good. A hint of heat but mostly just enjoyable noodles and bits of prawn, clams and other goodies.

We flagged him down, and he pretended to know nothing of it. It ended with about 5 or more of the restaurant staff (who were lovey though) trying to help us. The white haired man ignored us, staying inside the restaurant or having cigarettes. The minimum he could do was pretend to find the bag or show it.

At the end of the day, the food was ok, the people did try to help, but the white haired guy is a complete thief. We ended the day 2m out of pocket and with hotel...

I came to this cafe with my 2 friends. There were no seats for 3 or more people on the ground floor, so the waitress told us to sit at a table for two + bring chairs. Well, nothing, we didn’t book, everything is fine too, BUT ... After that, some woman with her son came up and asked for a place for 3 people, and the same waiter asked two girls who were sitting at the next table to change seats (they were already something ate and just sat in a cafe) the fact is that when I arrived they had already eaten.

By the way, more about this case. It turned out that there is a 2nd floor and there are many empty seats (I went to the 2nd floor to wash my hands), but the waitress did not even offer me...
