As soon as pancetta, olives, and feta are accidentally mixed with spagetti, there is a huge explosion.

Then I was not allowed to have balsamic vinegar with my olive oil!! They make their own and they don't want customers to change the taste!! Then the cheese incident occurred. I always get the San Georgio pizza and I always put parmesan cheese on it, this time around the waiter told me if anyone gives it to me they will be fired. What kind of arrogant chef is telling people he knows food better then the paying customer? Get off your high horse and give your paying customers what they want! I have been to Italy where the food is way better and we get all the cheese we want!<BR/>The waiters need to know that their tips are in jeopardy since they are the front person who has to say no to us.<BR/>Brutal rule<BR/>Anyone want to try and change this with me?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5747677566314900452.post-39074726313059416412008-08-07T16:55:00.000-04:002008-08-07T16:55:00.000-04:00Everyone will be amused to hear that this month's Toronto Life magazine has a short article in the front pages about a customer who asked for cheese at the Queen St. location on a fish pasta and was rebuffed the same way Amita was. It's making the papers. Is that good publicity?

What's especially strange is that I had also asked for hot chillies and they happily brought two large bowls of it and left it on the table. Apparently, you may add hot chillies to anything you'd like, but parmesean is highly coveted. Terroni... schmoni... I'll be eating pizza with parmesean elsewhere.Amitahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16400753108268047769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5747677566314900452.post-2916889693571340782008-08-06T15:31:00.000-04:002008-08-06T15:31:00.000-04:00I&#39;m utterly flummoxed by this. It&#39;s not like you asked for a special kind of blue flower on top that only grows in the shadows of the north side of the Himalayas near where Batman trained or whatever. You asked for parmesan. Which they were already proffering. It makes no sense, and is really poor customer service. I would actually email the manager about this - you were quite charitable about it all, really - and point out that the request was not a ridiculous one and that they should perhaps be more concerned about keeping customers, instead of losing them. Which is what has now happened. It&#39;s retarded. Plain and simple. The customers needn&#39;t have explained their rationale for wanting what is a very typical &quot;add-on&quot; at a restaurant - and if the resto was being stingy, they could have rationed the cheese themselves by doing the sprinkling themselves. How is cheese different from me asking for &quot;just balsamic vinegar&quot; instead of oil &amp; vinegar for a salad? Surely only CRAZY people would want JUST VINEGAR? I mean, where does it end? What about extra salt? I can see it now: &quot;The chef thinks you&#39;re a fool for wanting to ruin his food by adding extra spices&quot;? I mean, really.

I suppose they're willing to lose business over their principle. I think it's cheapness and some nutjob owner who's decided his pizza must taste a certain way - despite pleadings from dairy-less patrons. My sister claimed loudly that she'll be bringing her own cheese if she ever goes back. Plus - at the Queen St. location you can do whatever you want - add cheese and even get balsamic vinegar at your table. And that's not some moral approach to pizza, it's about having a good time. annaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5747677566314900452.post-55228558166270194252008-08-06T10:26:00.000-04:002008-08-06T10:26:00.000-04:00there's some crazy no changes/no substitutions rule there. seriously - it's a hot topic of bitching at restaurants. they also won't put cheese on pasta with fish or shellfish.megnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5747677566314900452.post-81210852409168305712008-08-06T08:56:00.000-04:002008-08-06T08:56:00.000-04:00And I like Terroni.<BR/><BR/>Customer service: <BR/>http://snipurl.com/3bph5<BR/><BR/>/kKevinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05728775690825137107noreply@blogger.com
