"This is a big warning to anyone thinking of coming to this restaurant.. PLEASE DON’T! I booked this restaurant as I work around the corner for a news organization. What a mistake. I arrived and was greeted very warmly. It was on a Tuesday...evening and I explained that my husband and I might only stay for drinks, and would that be an issue, the waiter said no problem and asked if he should leave the menus. I said yes as we might be hungry later. We ordered x rounds of drinks, olives and bread and spent Bearing in mind it was a Tuesday at the week after lockdown.. of the tables were empty. Now I know why. We decided not to eat there as it was getting cold and there were no heaters. My husband who is half italian overheard the man in charge shouting at his staff in italian about why we weren’t eating. I then go to the ladies and this revolting old man who I assume was owner was waiting for me at the top of the stairs who aggressively tells me “for your reference, when you book a restaurant- you eat”. He then proceeds to shout in my face in front of all the other diners. I have never been so humiliated and shaken up at a restaurant in my life. It was so embarrassing two other female diners asked me if I was ok. He has since cancelled my booking through open table to save himself the it cost him for the table, I hope it was worth it. This is no reflection upon his staff who were delightful, I would steer well clear of this place. I will never ever go back to this place and will be telling all work colleagues and friends in the area to avoid."
