Pedimos un mango leche, $4500 y NO TENIA CASI NADA DE MANGO, el color del líquido estaba blanquecino, cuando se supone que es un naranjito tenue. 😮‍💨 Para comer pedimos un Sorrentino de mechada con queso y salsa roja. Los fideos estaban nadando en salsa, ‼️‼️SÚPER SALADOS‼️‼️, estábamos a penas, mucha sed y no se disfrutó los sabores como se debía. La atención estuvo bien, la chica siempre fue amable y con disposición. Le agregamos su propina💕. Lo otro, la disponibilidad de la carta (fuimos a las 10pm) era bastante reducida, muchas prepaciones no se podían realizar por falta de ingredientes del local, de hecho antes de pedir los fideos queríamos una promo de un completo con papas fritas y una bebida, pero ya no les quedaban completos ni sandwiches.

La verdad esperamos 35min con 6 amigos por unos gnocchis que explícitamente nos dijeron 8min. La espera fue muy poco agradable la verdad, 3 veces un aviso de demora. Espero mejoren eso. La limonada estaba buena. La atención nada que decir. Baños limpios

Hola, Le escribo con el objetivo de ayudarles a mejorar su producto. Hoy visité su local para almorzar. El servicio fue perfecto, el lugar muy bonito y limpio. Pedimos una empanada de carne que estaba excelente, así como un sándwich de carne con papas fritas. Sin embargo, fue en este punto donde la experiencia fue un poco menos satisfactoria. Para lograr un sándwich perfecto, es fundamental contar con pan fresco. El pan que se nos sirvió parecía tener entre dos y tres días. Primer consejo: si no dispone de pan fresco, puede refrescar fácilmente el pan humedeciéndolo ligeramente con agua, envolviéndolo en papel de aluminio y llevándolo al horno durante aproximadamente 9 minutos. Aún mejor, podría utilizar su masa de pizza para hacer baguettes del ancho que desee. De esta manera, obtendría pan fresco a un costo menor que el del pan que compra actualmente. Este método se utiliza comúnmente en Italia. En cuanto a las papas fritas, cuando las pido espero que estén crujientes. Lamentablemente, no fue el caso: estaban blandas y sin crocancia. Mi recomendación sería aumentar la temperatura del aceite y/o el tiempo de cocción para obtener papas bien doradas y crujientes. Prueben estos
