I
finally
had
the
worst
Italian
food
I've
ever
eaten
in
my
life.
By
far.
When
reading
reviews
here,
pay
attention
to
the
number
of
reviews
the
contributor
has
written—many
times,
if
most
of
the
“good”
reviews
are
from
folks
who
have
only
contributed
a
few
reviews,
you
should
take
that
into
consideration.
We
visited
Bella
Napoli
in
Salvador
because
I
heard
it's
been
open
since
1962,
so
I
figured
they
must
be
doing
something
good.
We
also
came
here
because
this
restaurant
is
part
of
the
Associação
dos
Restaurantes
da
Boa
Lembrança
(“The
Association
of
Restaurants
of
Good
Memories”),
because
I
collect
their
commemorative
plates.
We
started
with
a
seafood
appetizer
in
olive
oil
and
white
wine,
which
looked
attractive,
but
was
overly
garlicky,
even
for
me.
It
was
our
first
dish,
so
I
was
still
optimistic.
The
second
appetizer
we
ordered
were
the
polpetti
(Italian
for
“meatballs”—plural).
The
dish
arrived
with
one
meatball,
which
looked
so
sad.
After
tasting
it,
we
were
glad
that
there
was
only
one.
It
was
absolutely
the
worst
meatball
I've
ever
had
the
displeasure
to
eat.
The
meat
was
very
finely
ground
and
was
completely
unseasoned
and
dry
as
sawdust.
It
was
simply
awful.
The
sauce
was
also
too
acidic.
Now
the
main
dishes:
I
ordered
the
Boa
Lembrança
dish,
which
was
“Frango
á
Veneziana”
(chicken).
Please
see
the
photo,
because
it
was
absolutely
the
ugliest!
It
was
a
breaded
chicken
cutlet
with
what
looked
like
little
bits
of
Spam
(Kitut)
on
top
of
it.
It
looked
worse
than
my
cat's
food.
Imagine
pink
rubber
erasers
sprinkled
on
it.
It
actually
had
the
consistency
of
rubber
erasers.
The
chicken
itself
was
oily
and
not
crunchy
like
a
good
chicken
Milanese
should
be.
It
also
did
not
taste
good—I
gave
my
wife
a
piece
to
taste
and
she
actually
spit
it
out.
My
wife
ordered
lasagna
Bolognese,
which
looked
good,
but
was
absolutely
flavorless.
I
tried
it
and
also
thought
it
wasn't
worth
eating.
After
all
this
awful
food,
I
ordered
dessert—tiramisu.
My
wife
thought
I
was
crazy,
but
I
wanted
to
see
how
bad
it
could
be.
The
restaurant
was
consistent.
It
was
the
worst
tiramisu
I've
ever
had.
Instead
of
dusting
the
top
with
cocoa
powder,
they
obviously
used
a
type
of
Nestle
Quick
(achocolotado).
The
lady
fingers
did
not
have
any
espresso
nor
rum
or
Marsala.
It
was
completely
sweet
and
without
balance.
To
top
off
my
experience,
I
woke
the
next
day
sick
and
spent
the
whole
day
near
my
hotel
bathroom.
The
only
good
thing
about
the
restaurant
was
our
waiter,
Anderson,
who
was
very
good.
