| - I was very excited to try Oretta. I love Italian food and absolutely fell in love wit the decor. I made an early reservation and arrived at around 5pm. The restaurant decor is absolutely a work of art. It was so pretty, I was getting excited.
I had already looked over the menu and knew exactly what I wanted. I ordered the Calamari and the Cardinale Pizza (Tomato, fior di latte, spicy salami, & black olives) to start off with. For mains I ordered the Gnocci with Meat Sauce and the Tri-Coloured Pasta with Scallops.
Well let's start off by saying, the Cardinale Pizza was pretty good. I loved the Spicy Salami and Olive Combo. The Calamari was undercooked and had zero flavour. I couldn't finish it, it was very badly undercooked.
Next up the mains arrived. I can't even begin to explain my disappointment. I love the comfort of Italian food and this was anything but comforting. The tri-coloured pasta was so al dente, it was hard to chew on. The scallops were the smallest scallops I've ever seen. The sauce was non existent, no flavour at all.
The Gnocci was a bit better, it was cooked properly but the meat sauce also had no flavour. It would have been really good if something attention was given to the meat sauce.
I didn't finish either dishes, asked for my bill and the manager was very nice by coming by and apologizing. I will not be going back, and have not recommended this to any of my friends. King St has tons of amazing eats, this is not one of them.
Keep Eating,
Angela
