"Oh dear. I don 't know what 's happened here. I chose Amadoro because I 'd had some good meals there, and although the service has been very patchy, I hoped friends would find it quirky and better than a 'chain ' restaurant. A lukewarm 'welcome ', followed by fairly mediocre starters. And the pasta mains, served in sad little bowls, were pretty flavourless. The bread well, we did laugh at the 5 little 'soldiers ' [was that one slice of bread, we wondered], with some oil and vinegar. At £3.90? oh come ON................. We had to listen to the only other customer haggling over the price of his lunch and it seems he was probably right, as the website says £15.50 for a starter and pasta. Yet I see that we all paid around £25 a head! I know it 's tough running a restaurant; you shouldn 't do it unless you love food and like people. Amadoro seems unloved and is unlovable."
