Great evening with a sour-taste.
We had a wonderful evening at Cecconi's. The food, is and must be the best in town for a classy Italian restaurant.
The service was top-notch. The food, all dishes, regardless what was served, outstanding. Great kitchen, fantastic Italian cuisine.
After we have paid we checked the bill (stupid mistake).
The service just asked in the beginning, sparkling or still water. Afterwards, they were permanently refilling the water glasses. However, they never mentioned that a water bottle 0.7L is 8EUROs.
Further, given the size of the group we had to choose a set-menu which is common. However, we outlined we have 3 veggies (out of 12). Nevertheless, even the waiter realised that there is almost nothing veggy and they offered free-of-charge dishes to accommodate our veggy folks.
Cecconi's realized it was a B-Day and even served a nice cake.
Anyhow, we were charged for the veggy stuff and the cake. Ultimately we paid 128Euro for Water. Poor communication and overpriced. Last but not least, extra bread to dip a bit into olive oil, 9Euro.
We were from Zurich and we are used to this price-scale. However, good service communicates well and does not have a debate that we understood something wrong. Given the total amount paid, hilarious discussing about few Euros. And this makes the difference between an extra-ordinary restaurant and overpriced hipster average with an amateur management.
