"My experience at the Italian restaurant was a bit disappointing. Although the menu had a variety of appealing options, the execution of the dishes fell short in a few areas. The mussels were flavorful but disappointingly gritty, which took away from the overall enjoyment. The pizza was decent but didn't quite reach the level of exceptional Italian cuisine. The octopus was overcooked and too dry, lacking the expected tenderness. However, the highlight of the meal was definitely the bread. The warm bread provided a comforting and satisfying start to the meal. Despite these setbacks, the inviting atmosphere and attentive service helped salvage the dining experience to some extent. Our server deserves kudos, as he was great."
