I don’t like giving low marks, but I don’t have any other choice tonight. I am attaching photos to prove my point, and hope the management take my feedback seriously. After my visit tonight, the short version is that you should only come here for the pizza. We had a margherita and I will dare say it was in my top 5 pizzas that I have ever eaten and I have eaten a lot of pizza. I saw other pizzas being served and they all looked spectacular. The neapolitan style crust is light, soft, and tasty. Seriously, you cannot go wrong if you have the pizza here, it will blow your mind. The spaghetti was also above average. It was tasty, there was an element of creation involved, and although we have had better spaghetti elsewhere, it was about what we would expect at such a tourist spot. My main gripe with tonight’s visit is the sad caprese salad that we were presented with as you will see in the photos, it is a bunch of hastily cut tomatoes with a mozzarella thrown on top, a few drops of olive oil and some traces of basil. I have also uploaded a copy of the receipt. This caprese salad was the most expensive item we ordered at 15€. The amazing pizza was only 10€, the spaghetti was 14€ each. And this is where I draw the line: the caprese salad we were served does not reflect a 15€ salad which is more expensive than a pasta dish. Take a minute and look up photos of a caprese salad online. Take a minute to go back in time and look at the photos that have been uploaded about a year ago ‘Traveller Gerger’ uploaded a photo of a caprese salad that looks like night and day compared to what we got tonight. So where did it go wrong over the last 12 months? My gripe is not with the price. I’ve had more expensive salads and meals a couple of restaurants down the road. My gripe is with the fact that the caprese salad we were served tonight looks like it barely costs 2€ to make. There was no artistry, no presentation, just a bunch of ingredients throw together and then served in less than a minute. My final complaint is the atmosphere its a very busy place, but we were sat next to a table of 12 extremely loud children and 2 extremely indifferent adults who enabled their shouting with their silence. Summary: visit for the pizza, beware the caprese. Food: 3 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 2
