The Piccadilly

We ate at Piccadilly Italian restaurant as a party of 6 on Saturday evening 26th Nov 2011. I suspect this restaurant doesn't rely on return custom, but manages to survive because of it's very central location by Soho and the theatre district. We will NEVER eat there again! Here's why: - The food was not of good quality or flavour. - incredibly overpriced! e.g. £11 for a vegetarian lasagne (same price as for meat!), £20-£25 for a steak & chips, £3.95 for the smallest glass of Budweiser beer ever (certainly no bigger than a half-pint glass). In fact everything on the menu was overpriced! With no starters, 2 side dishes, 2 people drinking and 2 having dessert, the bill still came to over £30 per head. - On top of this they add 12.5% service charge to every bill (the table next to us refused to pay as the service had been very poor). - We asked if the veg lasagne contained mushrooms and said we were asking because my wife is allergic to them, waiter said, 'no'. Half way through eating it, noticed many large pieces of mushroom! They changed her meal but didn't really apologise and still charged us for it! (BTW vegetarian lasagne is not tasty either and had very little pasta in it, seemed to be mainly soya mince with cheese on top). - Poor service generally - one of the coffees ordered didn't arrive, we had no way of telling if we had been charged for it or not as the bill was not properly itemised. - cramped, dark and unattractive interior - dirty toilets Other than that, we had a lovely evening with our friends! LOL! I don't think any of us will make a return visit.
