点评:On a quiet Monday evening we experienced terrible service and disappointing food at what used to be a really good restaurant. Although we have had enjoyable meals here before, we are not regular patrons and this time we felt particularly unwelcome. It started when we arrived, having booked the ground floor table opposite the bar (my wife has difficulty walking and cannot handle their steps) - only to find two ladies sitting at the table we had booked. This was not the first time we had booked this specific table where it was given away to other people. We took the table alongside, which had no "Reserved" sign on it.
The restaurant was near empty and the waitrons stood around the till chatting or taking photos of each other. Nobody served us until a waitress appeared from upstairs and took our order. The owner and his wife were not present, and it was clear that nobody was in charge. Our waitress ("Christina" as per the till slip? - there was none of the usual "I am ... and will be your waitress for the evening") did ask briefly how the meal was going, but when I complained afterwards about the food, she disappeared, having asked another waiter to process my credit card. This left a particularly bad taste, implying intolerance of criticism.
My Tagliatelle Carbonara had very little bacon pieces in it and was tasteless, while my wife complained that her Pasta Napoletana was somewhere between tasteless and mediocre - nothing like the same dishes we had eaten at this restaurant before lockdown.
Whereas the owner and his wife seem firmly in control when they are present, they have obviously not trained anyone to manage the kitchen and the waitrons in their absence. At least they welcomed us on arrival. This time, an elderly man ignored us until we left, when he smiled and said "Arrivadeci".
With this quality of food and service, it should be "Arrivadeci, Mamma Roma".

餐厅几乎空无一人,服务员站在收银台周围聊天或互相拍照。没有人为我们服务,直到一位女服务员从楼上出现并接受我们的订单。业主和他的妻子都不在场,显然没有人负责。我们的女服务员(收银单上的“克里斯蒂娜”? - 没有常见的“我是......并将成为您晚上的女服务员”)确实简单地询问了用餐进展如何,但是当我事后抱怨时食物一送完,她就消失了,并要求另一位服务员处理我的信用卡。这留下了特别糟糕的味道,意味着不能容忍批评。
我的意大利面条里的培根片很少,而且没有味道,而我的妻子则抱怨她的那不勒斯意大利面介于无味和平庸之间 - 与我们在封锁之前在这家餐厅吃过的菜肴完全不同。
虽然老板和他的妻子在场时似乎牢牢控制着一切,但他们显然没有培训任何人在他们不在时管理厨房和服务员。至少他们在我们抵达时欢迎了我们。这次,一位老人不理我们,直到我们离开,他微笑着说“到达”。
有了这样的食物和服务质量,它应该是“Arrivadeci,Mamma Roma”。
