| - Popped in for gelato, which had been recommended by a friend. Huge portions of cool yumminess, bursting with flavour, and tax already included in the price. Nice one! It even made us excuse the worryingly short and curly hair my wife found in one of her flavours!
Feeling suitably impressed, and having glanced at the pizza being enjoyed by someone at the next table, we decided to order a margherita to go. Took a little while longer than expected to arrive, and from the sounds of things there was some confusion about where the pizza was. It eventually turned up, feeling a little less warm than might be expected. After leaving, I checked in the box and saw sauce and cheese, but no basil. I went back and was told, "Yeah, we didn't have any left." No explanation before I left the first time and no apology. I ended up asking for arugula on it so it looked less sad. When we got back to our apartment, frankly the pizza was very bland, the cheese overpowered everything else (and not in a good way) and we were left, in more ways than one, with a bad taste in our mouths.
Your gelato was yummy (short and curly aside), but your poor pizza and uncommunicative staff -- if you ran out of mushrooms, would you make me a funghi and not say anything? -- will mean we won't be returning.
