A sad affair.
We was recommended this place today for food, as a bar they’re decent, it’s a decent atmosphere and yaknow, it’s alright.
As a food venue, not so terribly so:
Our order was as follows:
Nachos - sharer with beef chilli added for extra cost:
So the nachos were actually decent, cheese was nice, salsa and sour cream etc. the ONLY let down was the chili you have to pay extra for, not only is it cold and quite lumpy (we’re talking big chunky of it in places), with the chili being added cold and lumpy, it screams tinned chilli and that’s what we think it was. So if you get the nachos, don’t add on the chilli
8/10 without chili. With chili it’s a 4/10
Pesto pasta : one of the only dishes we both agreed on, I personally didn’t like one of the ingredients but it was simple and easy to pick out. Overall 7/10
N’duja pizza: spicy but was okay, did what it advertised to do. Nothing special but not bottom shelf, I’d say 6/10
Okay so this is the talking point to this review:
Verdi pizza:
White base, all the ingredients by themselves taste good, but throw it all onto a pizza and it’s not as nice at all, I did just pick most of it off and eat the pizza base (the bread base is literally the best part of the pizzas), BUT my partner didn’t bode so well with this pizza, shortly after eating she said she wasn’t feeling too good and on the way back she puked up / vomited on the floor outside (across the road by the bus stop), obviously isn’t food poisoning as that doesn’t happen that fast (I’ll keep an eye on her) BUT I do believe the food has a very big part to play with this happening after we left, I don’t believe anything else could of caused this.
I did call them to let them know she was sick just outside after eating there and they didn’t really say much besides “we’ve been selling the pizzas all day and no one has had an issue”, which is fine BUT it did affect someone even if that’s only one person.
Overall, as a pub / bar 6/10, for food 3/10
Price wise it’s alright, nothing to complain about, nothing to write home about either, I’m just shocked that my partner threw up from the food and like actually threw up, not just “oh yeah she piled in her mouth” etc, no she actually puked a decent amount and I was shocked.
