Assaggetti

I took my Mother for pre-theatre lunch on Sat 17 March.

The welcome was v good and sadly it then went rapidly downhill- long waits to be served, two mains ( not the tapas) arrived with 10 mins and two chases in between. The chicken fricasse arrived on a plate with chicken in what looked like chicken soup with one lettuce leaf and half a cherry tomato- really quite strange and apparently tasted dreadful. The spaghetti ragu was fine- but freezing by the time my Mother's main arrived.

The chianti – second most expensive wine on the wine list- had the astringent qualities of paint stripper.

The staff were under prepared and frankly hopeless- the waitress had no idea what she was serving. The managers stood in huddles or doing paperwork.

Really this place is to be avoided! The Spaghetti House up the road would have been a better choice. Huge disappointment.
