As a huge fan of Italian cuisine and a ...Hi Esther,<br />As a huge fan of Italian cuisine and a restaurant manager myself, I am always on the lookout for great places to eat.<br />After reading many of the glowing reviews for gino's I was quite excited to go there.<br />We were greeted and served by a friendly waiter who took our order promptly, sadly however, that was as good as it got.<br />Our starter of bruschetta was served on rather limp gluten free bread (not bruschetta at all)<br />My wife's pasta was just, and I do mean JUST al dente, any less and it would have been crunchy.<br />And by the time my pizza arrived (which I will get to in a minute), my wifes desert was already on the table.<br />The tiramisu was atrociously bad, a bowl of Marscapone Cheese and cream that tasted like it had been left out of the refrigerator for a few hours with some bits of sponge shoved down the sides.<br />But the pizza, oh the pizza. Prosciutto e funghi, MY ASS!<br />I understand that gino's is halal but for goodness sake don't serve me processed chicken meat and call it prosciutto!<br />And funghi, try a few bits of dried porcini mushroom. The pizza is then heaped with grated mozzarella served on a wafer thin pita bread for a base.<br /><br />I wanted to speak to the manager to offer some constructive criticism, but it would seem there hasn't been one there for quite some time.<br />Sadly Gino's is no longer a nice place to go for an Italian dinner.Williamnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1943427102231523832.post-22584839411210172332013-08-01T10:10:03.200+08:002013-08-01T10:10:03.200+08:00Hello Esther, Love your way of expressing Gino'...Hello Esther, Love your way of expressing Gino's place.
