Orsini (South Kensington)

• I have been to orsini on multiple occasions though my most recent visit was about a week ago
• The tiramisu was very good it was cold fluffy and had a nice coffee liqueur taste
• The cake was a little stodgy it was a bit heavy and dense
• The quality of the food is decent and is recommended for a quick lunch
• S a perfect location for a trip to the museums (the Natural History and the Science Museum are also close by) or Knighsbridge
• Tried this resto given the reviews on Zomato and I have to say I was quite underwhelmed to say the least
• Service was friendly but slow and the food quality was just acceptable which was disappointing given the price
• Had the pumpkin risotto which was not bad but the chicken with mushroom was on the bland side
• Had a spoonful on the pesto pasta and that also was on the bland side for me
• While service was a bit iffy and slow since we were upstairs
• The portions were on the smaller side
• Presentation was perfect and expected from a relatively high end restaurant but I wonder why there is no calamari at all
• So I asked the waitress and the manager came to our table and said that usually they have calamari and that they are going to check with the chef
• He came back and said that the chef forgot to put the calamari and that they are going to deduct some price off
• I did not agree because we are expecting calamari with the rest of the seafood
• So I asked if it is possible to get a new one we have not eaten anything from the plate anyway
• This time it came with a complete set of seafood but the presentation was literally like trash
• The meant to be tomato sauce is not tomato at all
• The colour of the sauce is like pasta water
• 3 of the clams were empty and 2 of the mussles were empty too
• The worst part is that the pasta is SO HARD
• I know what al dante is like and that was not al dante at all
• The very least was to apologise for the mistakes
• NEVER coming back and WILL NOT recommend to anyone who is thinking to dine there
