Pulcinella

£11.95 2 course lunch menu for 2 with 2 diet cokes, came to £28.90 but the cheeky so and so's added 10% service charge, which we refused to pay. I find this so rude and any restaurant that does this gets refused and no tip! My teenage daughter (16) was treating me from money she earnt in her part time job and she felt embarrassed. The food was OK but a bit old fashioned. The only gluten free starter was ministrone soup without pasta (so vegetable soup) or plain chicken wings with no sauce. I opted for the chicken wings (just 3) and my daughter's arancini was just 2 tiny arancinis about the size of large marbles. For mains she had a mushroom pizza, (again very small) which I am told was nice and and I had gluten free macaroni cheese which was very average, although they did not bring me a spoon, so I was stabbing the macaroni with the fork as I could not get the waiter's attention. The toilets were a shocker, in the cellar and falling apart. The loo roll holder was on its last legs and the toilets were very crummy indeed. There is a large mural depicting a venitian carnival and plastic gigham table cloths. It all seemed very dated. I guess as this is a tourist destination they rely on passing trade? It wasnt terrible or anything, it was just a bit 'meh'.

Looking for a good gluten free place. The risotto here is wonderful and the service was prompt, courteous and timely. They also mentioned the availability of gluten free pasta. But, get the risotto, it’s well worth it!
