Casa Mia Grande

Went there on a Monday night using a Hi- life card. Only ourselves and 4 other diners were there.

I ordered a bottle of house white, the waiter said that this was not a good idea and that I should order a different one instead costing £20, I declined his upgrade offer and stuck to the house wine at pennys under £15, good job I was not on a first date.

Starters of garlic mushrooms and calamares were quite nice, no complaints there other than the large restaurant was empty and lacked aptmoshere and I was feeling slighty guilty for feeding the wife cheap plonk.

For mains I ordered rib eys steak at £15 and the wife tuna steak. In fairness the tuna steak was nice, perfectly cooked and a fair size. My steak was terrible, it was small , ultra thin, greasy, small and not at all what I was expecting. The chips were frozen and not dissimilar to the ones at fast food chains except those are not as overcooked.

When the bill came they had added 10% service not to the actual amount (£38)but to the amount before discounts, so the service charge was £5.80 which I refused to pay.

Not happy at all, perhaps this explains why we where the only ones there. Plenty of nicer restaurants nearby so no need to go here.
