La Toscana - Table reservation

Lunch for five and we decided to eat in the Mall outside. Two pizzas, two prawn and spaghetti dishes and an Italiana salad. Things didn’t get off to a great start when they advised some time after our orders that they had run out of...alcohol free wheat beer and ˋwe’d have to have something elsé ´!

Called in on Thursday night and shown to a table and then completely ignored and forgotten about. No menu offered, no drinks. We allowed minutes and then left.

Appalling service. The Manager of this restaurant seriously needs to train his staff

I guess nobody from that restaurant has ever set foot in La Toscana, perhaps neither in Italy but what they cook here, has nothing to do with italian food. Big platters flooded with fatty sauces is not really italian... Oldfashioned decoration, background music that somebody...from my grandma's generation in Italy might still listen to and not too bad service
