What a horrible experience, after walking past primi piatti for all the time we have lived in Cape Town, last night we decided to give it a try, we arrived at primi, ordered our food, we were given pitta bread with garlic and feta cheese, so far so good, my husband then ordered a glass of red wine and a pizza, I ordered a salmon trout salad and sparkling water. the food came, I took a look at my salad, the lettuce was roughly chopped, what shocked me is not how my salad looked, when I took a bite, the lettuce was not lettuce but roughly chopped cabbage with a few pieces of lettuce. I do not like cabbage, let alone eat raw cabbage, I then called the waitress after just eating the salmon trout and cucumber, to ask if that was lettuce or cabbage, to which she replied, it says on the menu " salad mixed with cabbage" my husband demanded to see the menu, it only says mixed lettuce, no mention of cabbage. what made me angry the most is how argumentative this waitress Noella was. she kept telling me that a salad could also contain rocket as if I have never seen a salad in my life before. My dear Noella, I know a lot more about food than you do that I can tell you for free, we eat out all the time and I have never ordered a salad that happens to contain chopped cabbage in my entire life. she really made sure we never set foot in this Cavendish primi piatti ever again. I left the place hungry and angry
