I can only base my opinion on the risotto, which, all things considered, was neither good nor bad, but definitely below expectations. There's a lot of room for improvement, to be polite. The practice of ordering before sitting down is inconceivable, especially since the prices are those of a restaurant, not a fast food joint, and being able to sit down and choose from the menu at your leisure seems like the least I could do.

Ordered seafood pizza, the mussels were crunchy with sand, cover charge €2 per person, the atmosphere is good.

I'm always amazed how you can charge €2 for a cover charge when you have paper placemats, placed in a paper bag, and a bag of bread in three and a half liters of water costing €2... That said, I ordered a shank. It wasn't bad cooked, but it was quite fatty, and above all, it must have been a suckling pig shank, given its size. As a side dish, I had three (really three) potato wedges. For €20.10, I'd say it's a very poor value.

We went to the restaurant (inside the mall) a little hesitantly because it was completely empty (maybe because it was early?). In the end, we decided to try it anyway. As soon as we got to the cashier, they told us we had to order and pay immediately. Unfortunately, the service was terrible, with very little attention to customers. The price is quite high for the quality. It's a shame, because the place is really beautiful, well-kept, and welcoming, but the staff isn't very professional. The food was the biggest disappointment: the risotto had a very strange taste, as did the pasta; none of us managed to finish it. Overall, a negative experience.

Honestly...never again...Pesto pasta for the little ones was beyond reproach as it was clearly a cheap, bitter Buitoni-style pesto that was inedible...So-so sandwiches with the cheese thrown in straight from the fridge and therefore freezing cold. Cold fries, some slightly undercooked...Service? They put your food at your table already incomplete and don't ask if you want anything...missing glasses? Sauces? Grated cheese? If you don't ask, they're nonexistent....Do we want to talk about the women's bathroom with no sign that the seat was broken? The seat slipped back and I hit my head on the handle trying to avoid falling in a bathroom where you can barely move!!! The place was definitely packed, but a terrible experience...including the high prices...what a shame!

Good service, although one waiter didn't smell good. Terrible food. I ordered a 300g roast beef steak for €16.50. The cut was awful, tough, and undercooked. I couldn't eat it; I tried to cut off the softer pieces. Dissatisfied.

If I could give zero stars, I would. The man who takes the orders at the register and the guy who cooked me the risotto. After the waiter brought it to me, I tasted it and it was absolutely disgusting, all watery and with huge pieces of cheese all over the plate. After I told him it was disgusting and that he'd cooked it poorly, he went back into the kitchen muttering and making gestures with his hands. I'm just saying, €12.90 for the risotto, plus €2 for water and a €2 cover charge. I basically paid €17 to eat garbage.

I had lunch with my family. We ordered amatriciana, eggplant parmigiana, and a children's dish with cutlet, pasta, and chips. Everything was terrible: raw pasta, raw chips, poor-quality frozen cutlet, sour sauce, raw and tasteless bacon, raw eggplant with a terrible flavor. Overall, a terrible experience, and we were practically starving.

Some of my acquaintances had advised me against it, but I, notoriously fond of forming my own opinion, didn't listen to them. Serves me right...! I should have asked myself the valid reason it was half-empty on a Saturday lunch. The approach was already a prelude. I found the staff unwelcoming. I ordered tagliolini with Bolognese ragù. The ragù was defrosted for the occasion, and the tagliolini were inextricable. Served in an aluminum pan. I even splashed the ragù on my skin. Plus, there's a cheese dish, which I imagine also had the pretense of being distinctive, but I've had one just like it for thirty-seven years (bought when I got married - mine is even chipped). All negative? No, the place as a whole is well-designed and structured, and it even has its own bathroom, which is unusual among the various places in the shopping center. I've been going to Merlata Bloom since it opened, and I do so at least two or three times a week, mostly for food. I wouldn't have written this review—I usually don't—because I lack the time and inclination, but in this case I felt it was appropriate to share my experience; I wanted to avoid anyone else having to repeat it. (I had written a more detailed review, but I don't want to bore the reader.)

I don't think I've ever eaten so badly in my life. This place is clearly a tourist trap. During lunch, the platters (from €25 each) had average, if not poor, quality products (certainly nothing worth serving outside of an aperitivo, nothing you wouldn't find in a typical €10 aperitivo pub). The first courses were inedible, and I'm not exaggerating: we literally left all the first courses behind. The carbonara (€14, I think) had no flavor, it was made with sliced ​​pancetta like the one you get at the supermarket, and the egg sauce (not a cream, but rather a liquid) was inedible due to its acidity. The rest of the dishes we ordered were the same, and we left without eating. They offered us a refund, but that wasn't the case. The service was good, the waiters were kind, and after all, we didn't have to wait very long (average). Extremely low quality for €160 spent on two platters, six first courses, and six small Cokes.
