Posticino 

Food:

The toppings may be old-fashioned (regina, quattro stagioni, siciliana), but the ultra-thin pizza bases are certainly not stodgy. All salads come in three sizes. Lasagne is meaty-rich, like Mama makes it, and a bowl of chocolate, vanilla and strawberry ice cream with frothy hot chocolate sauce rounds off a nostalgic meal.

Wine:

Two chalkboards offer a selection of accessible wines, with house wine by the glass. The fridge is stocked with Peroni beers, of course.

Service:

The experienced, friendly waiters and waitresses are always run off their feet but keep their humour, while owners Eric and Jack are often on hand, making sure you’re enjoying yourself and good-naturedly complimenting the ladies.

Ambience:

Posticino is worn in and comfortable so, even though the tablecloths are freshly laundered, you won’t feel mortified if you knock over a glass of red wine during a particularly animated conversation.

And...:

For a quick city lunch, visit Posticino Express on Greenmarket Square. (MM, September 2010)

We are neighbourhood regulars. Yesterday however we were confronted with some incredible and unexpected rudeness. A drill-sergeant impersonating as a host was marching to our table with a tablet in her hands and blew us up with the command: I need this table at 8 o'clock! Not even a "sorry" or "excuse me", only these exact(!) words. It was, by the way, 2 minutes to 8 and our friendly waitress told us before there are no reservations for our table. I think that kind of rudeness is inconceivable, this this woman is definitely jeopardizing the rather positive image of this place.

Rude service. Rude waiters. Would be acceptable if the food was good - which it wasn't. How wrong can you go with spaghetti aglio?
