Volti Tuscan Grill & Bar

I was there very well prepared as I informed myself about the menu on the internet. I was shocked when the waiter brought a different menu. When I asked he just replied ‚yes we changed it a while ago‘. Wow! No apologies no what were you looking for, how can we help‘, just nothing and awkward silence. I then had the taglietelle with truffle as secondo. I believe they only used the very cheap truffle oil instead of fresh truffle it did not taste like truffle at all. The meat then was a real disaster. I ordered medium rare but it was overcooked and more medium. When I told the waiter he looked at me astonished but again no real reaction. The dessert was ok.

I recently came for the seasonal truffle 5-course menu and left very disappointed. All 5 courses were garnished with raw black truffle flakes in the exact same way, including the dessert, which was completely unnecessary and leave much room for improvement. I understand that flaked truffles look the best and you want to show me what I paid for, and this would have worked well if I only ordered one dish with truffles. However, in a 5-course meal that is pre-designed as a set, the experience could have been much better with some variety and thought introduced. This could have been a great way to show the versatility in your cooking as well as the various uses of the truffle. Of course I am no expert in this, but maybe the starter or the soup could have blended in fresh truffle oil instead of the flakes garnish. Maybe for the pasta, you could have used grated truffles instead of the usual flakes, and serve fettuccine coated in truffle bits, doesn’t that sound delightful? The beef raviolis were redundant with the steak and we all found the beef filling a tad stinky too for some reason. With the steak, some truffle fries (so we can taste what fries would be like made with real truffles instead of the chemical oil!) would also go very well - again, use the truffle in more ways than just adding it as some flakes on top!! The way it is executed now, the dish and the truffles are completely separate things, and this done 5 times over is just wasteful and lacks thought.
