I love italian foood, and this honestly was a huge dissapointment. I had ordered the bolognese, and the beef was hard, and the whole dish was just not very nice. The pizza however were quite nice, but still not brilliant. If you love italian food, i would recommend limoncelllo. The service was okay, even though our dishes were forgotten about for half an hour, and when it finally arrived they brought one wrong dish. Atmosphere was not nice, because the music was very loud, and i coul barely talk to my friends.

what we would have written
The bolognese isn't a dish we'd send out with the meat in that condition — that's a straightforward standard. The mix-up with the dishes and the wait are noted too.
