POLPO – In short a terrible Saturday night experience.
We are told at 8.30pm that the wait is 2 hours so decide to come back after an 1 1/2 hour to discover we have been taken out of the list.

We decide to wait for other 45 mins (the estimated time for a seat)…While we are having wine at the bar we see various people behind the cue being allocated seats – we therefore wonder politely to the waiter to enquire on the state of art and are just told the wait will be longer (no particular reason behind it, and no chance to discuss on the merits of the unfair allocation). Despite being very hungry we wait and comment in Italian that we have been unlucky ("Siamo stati sfortunati").
Shortly after the same waiter, claiming to be the owner (who as far as we know is Italian so should have understood what we said) comes up to us and asks us leave as we used abusive language telling us not to “worry about the wine”
Despite being puzzled and somehow shocked about this situation (no one ever asked me to leave a restaurant in my life!) we do not have a free ride, pay for the drinks (leaving more than half of the bottle at the bar) and leave, to say the least disappointed

I now wonder – was it worth waiting 3 hours on a Saturday night ? The food after all looked fairly average
Perhaps a crash course in Italian and on e in good manner should be advised to the staff so that these type of embarrasing situations do not arise in the nearby future.
