Avoid at all costs
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 7/5/10
Everything about this dining experience was terrible. The waiters were without doubt the rudest and most disinterested I have come across. They threw the food onto the table and tried to remove our starters before we had finished, in fact one of our party was actually eating hers, fork in hand when he tried to remove the plate! The quality of the food was the worst in our extensive travel throughout Italy. One of the starters was literally cubes of mortadello in a few lettuce leaves, no dressing, no presentation. It looked like dog food. The mortadello pate was like slop scraped into a dish, revolting! The pasta dishes were a joke. one of the party had the bolognese and it was literally some minced meat thrown onto the pasta, no dressing of any sort. one of our waiters, a young, unfriendly and sour faced individual was enough to put anyone off their food. The older staff member was simply rude. the lamb main course was vile, tasteless and over cooked. For this we were charged over €30 each. I am still reeling from the experience and it has put me off Bologna for good. I ahve travelled through most of Italy over the years and rate it as one of the most enjoyable places to travel in. This culinary experience was without doubt the worst ever. It was highly recommended in the Insight guide book for the city so avoid recommendations from this guide book. I give this a zero rating on all counts.
