I will NEVER go to Cantuccio again.My pasta was so salty,I was crunching undissolved granules.I glugged down so much water,feeling embarassed about it & making a fuss with my partner there after our lovely day out. Her pizza looked great whilst it was openly being made near the clay oven but she told me it was nothing special. I eventually asked the waitress to take my plate 10 minutes after I'd stopped eating. She asked the usual "was all ok" and I apologised and told her it was so salty I had to stop. I could see her speaking to the chef and looking over at me. My pallate had been wiped out by the salt and I genuinley couldnt eat another thing. Just like when we were sat there waiting almost having to Mexican wave to order, they steadfastly avoided us on a 30% full Saturday night until I caught the waitress' attention as she scutled past out table. No apologies from them,no discount or nicety,nothing.As we snaked through the restaurant,they never said anything to us,no even a goodbye.They just stared. We felt strongly enough to write this review.
We always pass Cantuccios and wondered what it was like.We were due to go to Donna Margherita which has great,realisable service but thougth it was a little out of our way after a busy day of shopping. we will not make that mistake again.
