NEIGHBOURHOOD GEM TAKES A PLUNGE!! I have lived my entire life in the neighbourhood of Why Not Italian. I remember taking my kids there for regular weekend dinners and now they are in their 30’s. Even last year my neighborhood friends and I enjoyed great food, good service and a friendly atmosphere, as always. Over the past few decades I have considered it to be a dependable, friendly neighbourhood restaurant with great food for reasonable prices. Tonight was an unrecognizable evening at Why N
Here's the short version:
1) Ordered a salad and asked if it had bacon bits - "because I don't eat meat". Half the lettuce was bright yellow.
2) My "cheese" tortellini arrived and was stuffed with veal. - did I mention I don't eat meat? yes... I did. So what happened? I was told that the "menu said it had veal" - except the menu DIDN'T mention veal - or any meat - just cheese. AND - I had already said I don't eat meat.
The waitress argues with me, then I hear the chef yelling "what a waste" and doesn't even know what their own menu says. So I get to hear the waitress argue with the chef - all of which we over-hear. Horrible.
Of course, the waitress makes a point of letting us know we are the only table and she was "hoping to get home".
Bad service, poor menu ... over-priced too. Sad. Avoid.
