Thu, 16 Feb 2012 15:18:14 +0000 http://www.globejunkie.com/?p=171#comment-7333 I have been to 'Del Borgo' wine bar , the place is lovely however not cozy at all . It is an old place so its quite humid , however in 2012 tought we were lucky to have heaters and Ac which can Improve and make a big difference ! To my disappointment none of the mentioned items seems to existing or working at ‘Del Borgo’ I asked the waiter to switch on the ac at least to warm up a bit the room , to my surprise he answered back saying: I am ok in short sleeves will check if there is a window open might be a draft .. hellowwwww ???!! think I know the difference between a draft and humid cold place ! Asked another waiter who was really helpful unfortunately he could’nt do much and came up with a different statement saying as we ran out of gas , ect ect … I wasn’t the only one complaining infact there was someone else who was feeling cold too ! Bottom line is .. save electricity , save gas WTF ?!!!! Re Menu food : In my opinion selection is quite poor and quite overpriced for the small portions given ! The menu consist of the usual boring salads, salmon , chicken , cheese ,parma ham , please note served as a portion of starter but pricewise as a main cost roughly around 10€ ! Dips for a selection of 3 mini containers served with bread and vegetables cost around 9€ ! The only thing which was reasonable to me and obviously I took was the closed local ‘Ftira’ not big in size but very filing since its with ricotta, pork ect … it ‘s the only thing worth it on the menu.

For example the rib eye usually cost around 21€ from most of the restaurants, however from here costs 25€ but it comes as a big piece of tasty and juicy meat, besides the presentation and layout of plate makes it worth every penny !
