"Traumatic experience We arrive at this super crowded pizzeria, they make us wait 20 minutes at the entrance, then they finally make us sit at a table and we order. After several minutes the waiter tells us that we have to move to another table because the table we are at is reserved for others. So he makes us move to a table, in a very uncomfortable position: the waiters almost bumped into us as they passed because there was very little space. As if that wasn't enough, one leg of the table was broken and so it was dancing a bit. For this reason, my friend and I always had to keep one arm on the table otherwise he risked falling. After an agony, a 1 hour wait and I'm not joking, our pizzas finally arrive. So I think it's going well so far, very bad, but the pizzas are finally arriving and they will be good... But no they were terrible there was the mozzarella that almost seemed sewn onto the pizza. My pizza in theory with sausages but in practice without. I alert the waiter to say that there were no sausages on the pizza so he says wait until we put them in for him, after a further 20 minutes he shows up at the table throwing some sausages on the now cold pizza. I had asked him for a new pizza, but he, very unpleasant, gave me a rude answer. I swallow the pizza with difficulty, as did my friend who didn't like his. We were so bad that my friend literally suggested we leave without paying. I replied that it was right to pay for a service, even if the service was terrible, like prison. So we paid as quickly as possible and once outside the restaurant we celebrated the end of the suffering. In the end we laughed at it because in reality it was just crying! We advise against anyone coming to eat here unless you want to be treated like animals."
