"A quick lunch stop, with my husband, turned into a very unpleasant experience. The manager or owner took our order and when I dared to ask if the meatballs were served with pasta he corrected me and in very unpleasant way and said that I obviously had never been to Italy. (I have been going to Italy at least three times a year for the past 40 years and I also speak excellent Italian). I should know that meatballs with tomato sauce are never served with pasta. Big news to me! Pasta is one course followed by meat or fish which is another course. My husband 's Timbale(kind of cake) made out of pasta and cheese was unacceptably boring and my meatballs were dry with a uninteresting tomato sauce. I ordered a coffee and was surprised to see that it was served without a little cookie or sweet which I asked for with the bill. Same manager irritable as ever, said, no, that is not the way we serve coffee here. He nonetheless grudgingly brought two little chocolate meringue 's which were perfectly good. The bill we received did not correspond to what was posted outside of the restaurant and we showed him the difference between our bill and what was outside, a mistake on my dish, three euros more than was posted, and a mistake on my husband 's dish two euros more than was indicated on the outside. He was very irritated, said he gave us 2 cookies for free and that the error was the fault of the computer, and handed us the five euro bill which he obviously owed us, and said vous avez gagné . (You won) I see, because if we hadn 't noticed the error on our bill, he would have won! Is this a game? He certainly thought we were American tourists passing through town and that he could pull a quick maneuver on the bill. I have rarely been so badly treated in a restaurant French, Italian or other in Paris. He did everything that was required to make sure that we will never set foot in his restaurant again, it 's a shame, since we had been there before and had perfectly satisfactory meals."
