Ponte Di Legno

Yet again we have been sucked in because Ponte di Legno is the only italian restaurant in Moseley.

Six of us went last night for a family meal. The food was good, but again the service was dreadful. Our table was immediately next to the door with my husband's chair actually blocking a third of the doorway. Every time customers came in, his chair was knocked and a draft of cold air blew in. We mentioned this to the maitre d' who was less than sympathetic, and who took 20 minutes and a second request to move us. We were then squashed into a corner on a table suitable for 4 people. Had it not been a birthday celebration with family travelling over we would have left at that point.

The BYO policy is good but no wine coolers were provided and we had to ask for enough wine glasses.

This is the final time we will visit or recommend the restaurant. Good food no way makes up for discourteous and contemptuous service.
