Como Lario (22 Holbein Place, London, London, SW1W 8NL) This ridiculous restaurant is an absolute disgrace and is positively the worst dining experience I have had in a very long time, we must have been desperately hungry last evening! At least they are consistent – its been a below average restaurant for a very long time!! Rude, unskilled and truly incompetent staff and management provides appalling service for diners, this, coupled with bland, badly prepared and presented food in worn out, filthy surroundings does not represent a good night out, its all rather like a scene from Fawlty Towers! Most of the dishes were ‘off’ last evening, no lobsters or artichokes, although it was early in the evening and they were on the ‘specials’ menu. The ‘seasonal fruits’ offered were strawberries – hardly seasonal in the UK – its December!! The pasta was slimey and tasteless. The only thing Como Lario are expert in is over-charging and refuelling wine and water glasses to drive up the bill, the chef clearly can not cook, the waiting staff can't wait and the manager possesses no social or restaurant management skills. Como Lario is a joke with unfunny prices, its certainly not a proper restaurant if you appreciate fine dining, so don't waste your time if you are looking for authentic italian food and atmosphere as both are ‘off’ the menu!! It deserves to be out of business. I wouldn't feed this food to my dog.
