La Formica Pizzeria - BARDOLINO

This is the worst restaurant I have visited so far in Italy, the Pizza was very thin, burnt, thin cheese which didn’t even appear to be mozzarella, not as shown on the menu, the waitress had an attitude when we didn’t order dessert, she actually stormed off, no bread on the table and charged 5 euro for two coperto, we felt discriminated against from the start because they thought we didn’t wish to have food and not just drinks, clearly a communication issue, omg we come go Bardolino all the time and wish nobody to be treated this way in this beautiful town… we explained to staff how bad the food was and they didn’t even acknowledge how we felt. Walked away feeling totally ripped off.

We sat outside and it had a nice location, tucked behind large plants so people on the street aren’t walking right past you. The service was very quick. The food was tasty.

On a pretty quiet Wednesday afternoon we thought to stop here for a drink. Quickly told we had to order food, so we decided on a pizza, and a bottle of wine. Copperto was €3 each so reasonable. The waitress was not happy that we were not ordering lots of food. What we got was average, burnt pizza, no bread and very little service. Recommend going elsewhere as there are plenty of wonderful eateries that would be happy to take your money.

I ate carpachio which I enjoyed although it was a little too cold for the full flavour. However our pizzas were excellent. The owner provided great service and advice. This is a locals place. They know what to expect and this place delivers.

A good suggestion by another holiday maker. Lots of tables reserved which is generally a good sign. Lived up to the recommendation which we passed on to some friends who went there with family who were also impressed. Would go again.
