mamadada123's review of La Trattoria, Swanage

“la trattoria never again!”

★☆☆☆☆

written by mamadada123 on 06/09/2011

What an awful place!We went there last Friday when on holiday and because we've got the gourmet society card which we purchased for a considerable price so we could enjoy discounts in very good restaurants in the UK. Apparently the manager or the owner came to the entrance(with a strong Polish accent) and I asked if I could use my card when I havent booked on the phone before (as stated on the conditions)which i thought it was silly as we were so close to the restaurant. Anyway, we could have called as we both have mobiles and free calls.... The restaurant was very quiet and she was very loud that even some people inside were watching us as we had Tesco vouchers in our hands or something like that. She said that we haven't called before and for that we could only use one table in the corner which I think for her it was the worst one. Also, she said that we could stay there if we put our baby outside on the street because they needed to go through( we were in the far corner table close to the wall and the street and there were more clients with the pushchairs inside!). If it wasn't enough, when she brought the menus she was still very upset and loud and she said that we had to go for desserts and pay for them as we haven't called before and she was doing us a favour. In that point, I was thinking to leave the restaurant but because i felt so embarrased, we stayed. With the gourmet society card we are always treated as VIP people , this is the first time we were like beggars.
