How Much Do They Charge For A Change Of Name




"You go to eat at that restaurant in front of the fountain in the square? "
" What, The Curia ? "
" Yes, that! "
" Let's go, but ... "
More or less this was the conversation between me and Sbaffina, some time ago. You realize that with that "but" maybe I wanted to say something ... but if you go you see a team (the Wolf!).
bad time, but is there a home for which it takes? We enter
... heck, I think, I care. There was no one, but these periods often, maybe it was early. We sit down, after selecting the table, and begins the ritual. Yes, because you read a menu like stepping into another's house when I did they see the rooms (in my time it was used).
dishes with fancy names that if I write them it takes me a day. One for all: Roast leg of guinea fowl in vine leaves with a sauce of raisins. But it actually does! It would have been better if it had not been the vine leaf of paper! Yes, because not only had to add flavor to the scene. Have you ever eaten with a tissue in the pot? More or less. To be sure this is not soaked, but the idea ...
The first two: a fool, a salt (two cooks?). The two seconds: a hard (mine, warmed in the microwave), the other with little character. The wine spent a little (too much time has elapsed after the harvest!).
The bill: 96 €, honestly a bit 'too much for what you eat. But the pearl is what the restaurant staff said at a table next to ours (in the end they were joined by four guests): "We decided to change the menu, but, not having had time for today still serve the old one ". You know what that means? Or something that today we give you leftovers ...
understand who you are dealing in this city? Alòooooo ... ... At the next

What Kind Of Jacket Does Andy Sixx Wear?

It is with extreme regret that I am going to write these notes. In fact, I never wanted to criticize one of the most popular restaurants the city, and I mean it.
You may have already figured out that I want to tell of one evening and I went to the Sbaffina Golden Lance in Piazza Grande. It was a special night for us, an anniversary, so we decided to us a gift: a good dinner with good wine and go ... We have entered
confident, well-accepted in a warm and hospitable full of trinkets and flowers ... delicious! The food choices and chose the wine come of hors d'oeuvre , pretty and delicious. The wine we chose was excellent and very rare to find, at a price slightly above average but served in glasses of high gloss finish.
So, you say?
Do not want to tell you what or how we got after we have spent, because the note is not about what or how but the why. Why ruin a name resonant with the dishes so sloppy, poorly cooked, presented in concept but without quality, made with old products (in the sense of parked too long in the refrigerator)? But the worst is this: why when they come back half eaten anyone asks you if there was something wrong?
The icing? The dessert: 19 € for a slice of pineapple. By the way, we were the only customers and as a result I am not surprised ... But an accident can happen. I hope you realize what's going on, and who does not sit on our laurels now that are made buckets.
Courage ...
