Casa Mia Grande

Very varying reviews for Casa Mia Grande. Our experience was of offhand slightly severe staff. I don't expect to be told to " wait a minute" three times during an evening - when wanting to order drinks at the very beginning of the evening ( no-one else in the bar and staff chatting at the desk ); when wanting to order side dishes and when trying to attract someone's attention in a by now empty restaurant to ask for some milk with my coffee. Perhaps the smiling friendly staff are only in evidence when the owner is on the premises.

It is all very well having to pay a deposit when booking, but very embarrassing in a party to have to question why the deposit was not subtracted from the final bill.

There is a hard sell on wine for the table and selection of vegetables, both of which bump up the price.

In all, pretty average food with no subtlety of flavour, at high prices.
