Del Villaggio (Bullring) review by Anon
What a rip off. I never write reviews but feel it is my duty after this experience. My wife and I were looking for somewhere nice to eat pizza and pasta prior to a concert but Pizza Express was too busy so we dived into this place. It looked pleasant enough as we rushed in but once seated we realised that the restaurant section was just an add on to the downstairs cafe. The surroundings therefore were similar to a truck stop.
Service was swift and polite but this is really all it had going for it. We quickly chose a pasta meal for my wife and a chicken, mushroom and onion pizza for myself which arrived promptly. This is when things turned sour. There was a beggar asking for money at each table and as he was being pushed out he came to us to ask for spare change. He was removed quickly enough and I felt for the owners but nobody thought to offer an apology. I then noticed my pizza which was the worst looking pizza I had ever seen. Not a sign of any herbs, dressed with 1 tiny slither of onion and completely bland to the taste. I was shocked especially when the cost of this was £9.50. My wife's pasta appeared reasonable and was a sizeable portion for £7.50 but she said that an earlier pasta meal from Frankie & Benny's was much better. I will never go here again. I would go back to Pizza Express and as for the 10% service charge, I wish I'd given that to the beggar in protest at the "a-la-crud" food.
