To whom it may concern,

Approximately two weeks ago I and my little family decided that we'd like to go out and have a nice meal and a few drinks at our local Italian restaurant. This was a limited decision as there aren’t many restaurants within the town centre you can hire a cheap taxi to get to. We decided that church street would be a lovely place to indulge our senses that night. On arrival we were brought through to our lovely table were drinks were ordered. So far it was a good night!!

Then it was time for food. I ordered a fillet steak and the missus a seafood pie. Our other family member ordered a child’s salami pizza! We were feeling flush and the drinks were helping the cash flow!

Then it came, our feast. Although the grumpy waiter (you know the one I mean!) did take a little over half an hour. We weren’t worried though it was nice to get the chance to have a few social drinks with the family.

However it was without doubt the worst horror of an excuse for food I’ve ever seen or just barley tasted. The steak was pure gristle, the seafood pie a disgrace and the child’s pizza was so spicy she started crying because it was hurting her mouth and the water wouldn’t stop it hurting!!!

You’d think maybe on these grounds a complaint would lead to a let off the bill as we couldn’t eat the trash that was served to us and we were looking at a £50 bill for this. Instead we were told not to expect to walk out without paying and lots of intimidating stairs came from the kitchen - the demon chefs could watch you squirm!!

Anyway if any of you have had a similar experience at an Italian in Accy please complain because otherwise the swine’s will do it again and again as they know they probably can!
