Subject: Complaint
I am writing to complain about my visit to your restaurant yesterday, Friday the 15th. We booked
a table for six to celebrate a birthday but, unfortunately, the evening turned into a 1 ...................................................
disappointment.
First of all, we were extremely unhappy with the menu choices. Your restaurant is advertised as specialising in
Italian 2 ................................................... , so we were surprised when we found not one pasta 3 ................................................... on the menu.
Secondly, when some of us ordered pizza, we were told that it would be served without cheese, as
the restaurant had 4 ................................................... mozzarella. Again, we found this to be surprising in an Italian restaurant,
which should have 5 ................................................... plenty of this staple ingredient.
I might have 6 ................................................... everything else if the food had been good, but it wasn’t. Some of us took the
7
................................................... and ordered capricciosa pizzas, without the cheese. The crust was hardly baked and the
toppings were nearly 8 ................................................... . Furthermore, the “spicy” olive and tomato salads were very
9
................................................... . In fact, we found most of the food to be barely 10 ................................................... .
Given that what was supposed to be a special occasion was so disappointing, I expect an apology and some form
of compensation.
Yours faithfully,
Ian Jefferson
