| - We first came to Jamie's Italian about a year ago and had a fantastic experience. The waiter - an older gentleman with an Italian accent - was attentive and helped us pick absolutely delicious vegetarian items. We got a salad, some flat bread and a side of the tomato sauce, and everything was just perfect. That mouth-watering, satisfying yet unassuming food I dream of when I think of Jamie Oliver and Italy.
So, we were quite excited to be back today and wow, what a disappointment. The food was edible, at best, and it takes me a lot to say this since I am not picky and tend to enjoy the atmosphere and focus on the positive even at ok restaurants. But this was really not good.
We got the quinoa-lentil salad, the pomodoro pasta, a Margarita pizza and some fries. I tried really hard to find something that was good but I really couldn't.
To top it all off, the waitress, though kind, was constantly running to and from our table as if she was in the middle of something very important that couldn't wait and we were interrupting. There were only 3 or 4 tables of people in the whole restaurant, so there really was no need for that rush. I felt like a nuisance.
Bottom line: I felt very disappointed tonight but because of my fabulous experience the first time around, I wanted to take my time and spell out all this so that you can perhaps improve and get back to where used to be a year ago. All the best!
