GOT THAT SINKING FEELING when I lose a place I like to eat at:
Went to Fratelli Sopra at Waterloo yesterday with a friend : we waited 20 minutes for a table, then another 15 before they brought the mineral water we ordered.
After a while along came an Osso Buco that was missing, well ..everything ..from salt to gremolata to flavour. It was in a thin liquid ..served with some potatoes (4 or 5 little pieces) that were an afterthought (they had been cooked separately) ..what happened to Milanese Risotto with this dish? Anyway maybe one can justify it by noting that this dish was about $24
.... same justification for the pasta that we ordered.. $22??? No flavour other than smashed peas and a few little pieces of sausage ..again no salt.
When we asked for salt the waitress did everything other than get us salt .. took her 6 minutes (timed!!).
Now this is all happening at 1:45 pm when the place is not even a quarter full so no excuse other than the staff are over it by this time...
Then the coffee was good other than it was burnt ...they use Vittoria Nero.
