We had the opportunity to visit this place on Tuesday in a group of 5 (including a child). We called beforehand to ask if a reservation was required; a lady answered, said it probably wasn't necessary, and simply hung up without saying whether the reservation was accepted or not. We drove up to the venue, went inside, and there was not a soul to be seen. We started looking around, and suddenly the lady appeared and asked us if we had a reservation. We answered that we didn't know because we were never told if our reservation was accepted, but never mind that. We asked where we could sit and looked around inside. The lady pointed to a table near the door where we could sit, and a moment later we were given the menus. While choosing our meals, we noticed that the table was dirty. First, we chose an appetizer - a cheese and cold cuts board. We received this order, and after a long while, the lady brought forks. I understand if there were only two people sitting opposite each other with easy access to it, but we were not given any small plates to sample these items, which I think should be standard these days. Then the lady brought drinks. We ordered two lemonades, a Lemon Soda, and wine, which we waited 20 minutes for. The wine was poured into a carafe, but we didn't make a big fuss about it, as in Italy wine is sometimes served this way because it's poured from a barrel; however, no one informed us whether this was a wine served that way or bottled wine just decanted so we couldn't see what kind it was. After some time, the lady comes and says that they are out of apple pie, which the child had chosen, and there are also no Cannoli, because those are only available when the chef is there. We understand that something might run out, but dishes that are on the menu should be served regardless of whether the chef is there or not, or it should state that it's available on specific days, which is simply ridiculous. After some time, the lady brought us the dishes. We ordered 3 pasta dishes and a sea bream. The pastas were not of amazing quality, but not the worst either. However, the serving of the sea bream simply amused us; the fish was served in water. I am adding photos below so everyone can see and judge for themselves. This is a long review, but it's worth mentioning how it really is, because based on reviews, we decided to choose this restaurant, but we will definitely not show up there again. We paid 409 PLN in total, which is not a small amount. For such a price, we expected a higher standard.
