Wasn't
impressed.
This
place
tries
so
hard
to
give
off
"luxury"
but
fails
at
it
every
step
of
the
way.
From
the
moment
you
enter,
there
is
no
doorman
to
greet
and
seat
you,
despite
there
being
5-6
waiters
loitering
in
the
hall.
The
prices
are
extremely
high
compared
with
even
high-end
places
in
Baghdad,
food
was
authentic
italian
but
wasn't
really
that
great.
A
couple
of
things
that
irked
me
was
that
they
do
not
serve
cola
or
pepsi,
instead
serving
you
with
a
relatively
unknown
drink
called
Sinalco,
and
they
served
the
drink
way
later
after
the
food
arrived
despite
constantly
reminding
and
asking
for
the
drinks.
Plus,
they
charge
you
3x
the
price
for
water
bottles
you
never
asked
for!
The
worst
of
all
is
that
the
service
is
very
disappointing,
this
is
the
first
time
I've
seen
waiters
cleaning
the
table
with
a
single
dry
tissue/napkin,
which
doesn't
help
at
all
in
the
cleaning.
Worst
of
all,
they
kept
dropping
leftovers
on
my
jeans
and
my
hands,
which
was
extremely
unprofessional
and
really
hit
the
nail
in
the
coffin
for
me.
I
will
not
be
going
back
anytime
soon
and
the
only
reason
this
place
is
such
highly-rated
is
because
of
lack
of
competition
and
alternatives,
as
there
is
no
other
true
'italian'
restaurant
in
Baghdad.
