My husband and I went to Pinocchio (Italian cuisine) and we expected good Italian-style food. Unfortunately the experience was way more than disappointing.
Starters were small in size, but nice.
After the starters, we got 2 pizzas with dolcelatte cheese (sweet blue cheese), but the dough was exactly like Pizza Ristorante, the frozen pizza you buy at the supermarket. We were told it was hand-made, but the dough was 100% frozen. Also, those pizzas were pretty small.
Obviously, we sent them back and tried some pasta. We ordered linguine with salmon (there was also cream and tomato).
The pasta came too soon, and this is not a good sign of fresh food.
Once again, this dish was very low quality. The pasta was over-cooked and the tomato sauce overpowered the salmon, which you could barely taste. The tomato sauce didn't taste fresh, at all. The whole dish didn't. We were also told that the salmon wasn't fresh (local).
We just ate the pasta because we were pretty hungry and it was late for us to leave and find a better restaurant.
The original total (without the 50% discount from the government and including 2 glasses of wine) was £53.50! Luckily, thanks to the government discount, we paid £33.50.
Nevertheless, the quality of the food was really low.
Service was nice, but the food experience was a big disappointment. read more
