Ristorante Martnelli

February 16th 2007 06:32


Canberra restaurant, fantastic food, but unbelievably shocking service. There is one guy doing the whole room, and organising bread, and helping in the kitchen. They're short on menus so it takes half an our for us to see one, another 15 before we can order.; Then an hour and a half between entrees and mains. We've had two courses and we've been there for over three hours. We were so bored we tried to go around the neighbourhood to find a pack of cards to play with. But by that time at night the all night store next door was closed. So we took inventive photos of our empty plates from the entrees, which were still on there an hour after we finished eating:




But they have fantastic food. A wonderful eggplant parmigiana:




And such a good spaghetti carbonara, wow.



Great minestrone soup:



Veal shanks or beef cheeks:



And the lable still stuck on the baking dish from the canelloni. Nice one:



But seriously, good food. Just make sure they actually have some staff on.
