Four Friends - BRACCIANO

Having hunger and not having the time of a normal lunch at the restaurant, we decided to stop at Four Friends. We already knew the place for having breakfast there several times, but we never had a meal. So, we enter and head towards the buffet area, the one that, according to them, used as bistro. The first thing jumping in the eye is the buffet. Three trays on the cross with a first, a second and contours. All with the appearance of having lived better days. The view of all this does not help to stimulate appetite but we are now dancing and dancing. We are explained that the options for lunch are three, first and second with contour and water to 12 euros, first with contour and water to 8 euros, second with contour and water to 9 euros. We ask for a first of rice without contour and a second with contour. At this point, we are served an integral rice more abundant than normal to compensate for the lack of the contour and it is fine. What's not good is the second with contour. A chicken fuse that smaller you can not with 4 slices of grilled zucchini and no more than half potato to listrelle made presumably in the oven. A dish that certainly does not exceed 50 cents of cost. Really shameful and equally pathetic the answer of the waiter to our objection. I'm sorry, but chickens are small. So, if the chickens are small, put in the pot two shots to make a normal portion, should I tell you? Final surprise on arrival at the table. You also pay water and they bring you a carafe with tap water. Great! Anyway, to make it short, after eating, or pretending, we asked for a lemon sorbet and a coffee. The sorbet drowned in the prosecco, a deadly ****. Coffee in the norm. The bill, about thirty euros in two, screams revenge. Never again in this place, never even for a coffee.

Aperitivo enough in the average. We chose aperifish, which, as the name says, offered pinsa and fish-based appetizers, even frozen. Overall nothing special. The menu is full of other proposals for different aperitifs. The pastries, which we took from takeaway, were very good.

At 14 o'clock, drawn from the presentation on TripAdvisor we go to this bistro to have lunch; first point: it was not possible to choose piadina neither pinse nor other rosticceria products, and neither did we access the bar room to eat maybe only a sandwich), indicating a dining room. Once seated, they did not bring any menu, nor price list; we chose dishes from the bistro that however were good and for this check three stars). However, he had remained very little despite not being very late. At my request to be able to choose a pinsa or fried etc., I have responded that the rosticceria products are served from 17 onwards, but this is not specified in the presentation of TripAdvisor,no on the Facebook page, where instead is insured a no stop time from 7 to 23 and stressed that you need from breakfast to dinner. This is definitely very incorrect. Prices are convenient.

Aperitif with trivial fries, non edible olives and 1 sad half sandwich. Prosecco flut to give a tone to the disappointing evening. Exaggerated price for quality and service offered. 16 unjustified euro. Never again.

Just enough coffee, good croissants, exaggerated prices: a latte and a croissants 3,20 €. Staff sometimes rude.
