点评:We came here as a group of 25 people, with the table reserved one day in advance. Despite this, the restaurant clearly did not make arrangements to ensure there was enough staff to serve us properly. This was actually our second visit in two weeks, and while the first time was slightly better, the service was also very slow. On our second visit, it took 40 minutes just to get our drinks – not to mention the food. We waited over an hour before the dishes were finally served. Perhaps if the drinks had arrived earlier, the wait for the food would not have felt as long, but on such a warm day it was especially frustrating to be sitting with empty glasses when everyone was thirsty.
As for the food, impressions were mixed. The avocado and shrimp starter was fairly good, though the flavor could have been more vibrant and less bland. The biggest disappointment, however, was the parmigiana. This dish was prepared very poorly. I had learned to cook parmigiana in Italy from an Italian chef, so I know how it should taste – rich and well-balanced. Here it was essentially just baked eggplant with a bit of topping and some sauce placed on the plate. Inside, the eggplant had no flavor at all, and the amount of sauce was minimal, which made it even more unbalanced, especially given that two whole eggplants were served. It was a real disappointment and felt like a waste of money. In the end, I ate one piece simply because I was already very hungry, since the starter was small and the thought of waiting another hour for something else was unbearable.
Overall, the slow service and disappointing main course left us very dissatisfied, and unfortunately this visit was a major letdown.
翻译:我们一行25人来到这里,提前一天预订了座位。尽管如此,餐厅显然没有安排足够的员工来妥善服务我们。这实际上是我们两周内第二次来,虽然第一次的用餐体验略有改善,但服务却非常慢。第二次光是饮料就等了40分钟,更别提食物了。我们等了一个多小时才终于上菜。如果饮料早点上来,等待食物的时间或许不会那么长,但在这么炎热的天气里,大家都渴得不行,而我们却只能拿着空杯子坐着,这实在让人沮丧。
至于食物,印象好坏参半。牛油果虾仁开胃菜还不错,不过味道可以更鲜活一些,少点儿寡淡。然而,最令人失望的是帕尔马干酪。这道菜做得非常糟糕。我在意大利跟一位意大利厨师学做帕尔马干酪,所以我知道它应该是什么味道——浓郁而均衡。这里的茄子基本上就是烤茄子,上面放了点配料和酱汁。茄子本身没什么味道,酱汁也少得可怜,这让味道更加不均衡,尤其是考虑到一共就上了两整根茄子。这真是令人失望,感觉像是在浪费钱。最后,我只吃了一块,因为我已经很饿了,开胃菜分量太少,而且一想到还要再等一个小时才能吃到其他菜,实在难以忍受。
总的来说,缓慢的服务和令人失望的主菜让我们非常不满意,很遗憾,这次用餐体验真是令人大失所望。
