I am new to Nobleton and was happy to find a small Italian Resto close to home. However, the experience here was so poor that I will never return.
Upon arriving we requested a table near the window, it was 6pm and the place was empty with the exception of one other table of 2. I was told this was NOT possible as the waitress was not allowed to seat anyone in a table of 4 or more when we were only 2. Being a new customer, the place was empty and it was 6pm I was shocked that we were NOT allowed to sit where we wanted!
As we waited for our drinks a solicitor selling something walked in and was told to come to our table to try and sell something???? Are you kidding me?
Next I ordered the Grilled fish platter for $25 - all main courses come with a side of seasonal veg (unless otherwise specified, whatever that means) - when i requested rapini i was informed my plate doesnt come with any side (I was the unless otherwise specified) which of course still has me confused, since my fish came only on a bed of greens and grilled raddichio.
The platter was 3 shrimps, a 1/4 slice of salmon (size of fish stick) and one calamari ring - for $25, and if i wanted my rapini it would be an additional $5.
The owner was right beside our table talking to the other table of 2, never asked us how we were, if we were happy etc. and clearly we were not.
The overall experience was so poor i will never return. Stick to Noble Wok - AMAZING service & food when you want to eat out.
New restaurant and much needed for the Nobleton area! Love the atmosphere from the moment you walk in, till the last bite, it's all amazing! From the huge selection of wood burning oven pizza's to the delectable pasta dishes, you can't go wrong with anything you order! And don't forget dessert! A must to eat here!
