I am Italian, working in the UK. I was in Montpellier for an event and wanted to try some food in an Italian place with one of my French colleague. Found this one and went for it. I had fish (I would give it and my colleague had a “carbonara”. She got served pasta with cream, pancetta, and parsley (I am not joking), without eggs. She didn’t like it at all as it was very heavy. She basically didn’t even touch it. But we weren’t in the mood for troubles and she didn’t want to get something else. We wanted to let it go, pay and go to bed as tired after a long day. The only thing I did is when the waitress came to tidy up I asked her if that was what they call carbonara as I am Italian (in English, which she spoke Result: not only she ignored me, but she also made fun of me in French with my colleague telling her that she was Italian too and that if I didn’t recognise that pasta for being an authentic “Sicilian carbonara” I wasn’t a real Italian. The table next to ours told her how rude she had been straight after (detail I didn’t get at the moment because of the language, again). Italian Who Don’t Speak Italian, you are lucky my colleague only told me when we arrived at the hotel (she knows me) otherwise I would have replied and say how unprofessional is of a waitress to be so rude with a customer. And I am not talking about the assumption that I am not a real Italian because I don’t know what good pasta is but of the entire tone of voice and the fact that you felt powerful and cool for being mean with a person that doesn’t get what you are saying!Unbelievable. Congrats!
