      well tickle me pink,

      jamie is right, gnocchi isnt pasta!

      did not know that

        gnocchi is just as easy to make as pasta, the fact it is not fresh from a restaurant where they charge a premium is disgusting.

          Have you tried making Gnocchi? Pasta is dead simple, Gnocchi can very easily end up not being like a 'cloud pillow' and can be a stone. Most people I know who make fresh pasta can't make gnocchi as they claim it's actually very difficult.

          • spaceflight on 02/01/2019 - 11:29

            @drewbles: I make it every week.

            It's easy and always been better than packet gnocchi.

        This is probably a cash grab then shutdown in Jan before the offer is actually available to redeem.

    • AustriaBargain on 18/12/2018 - 21:29

        Not worth it. Very over priced for what you get and it doesn't even taste that great.

        I went while traveling there once, it feels like it should be more expensive than it is.

        The building was an old bank and they have kept the old style design in the resturant. The bathrooms are downstairs in the vaults right next to the big safe which was also cool.

      I've tried them. If you order the right things, you can enjoy some good food for passable value. I've only been once in the past 12 months. I'll likely take up this offer.

    As someone said to me recently in light of his troubles, which I totally agree with

    people love his no frills, budget and simple foods to try/make at home,

    but not many want to go out and pay for it and eat out

  • Ononono on 19/12/2018 - 01:17

    I went last year in Brisbane, some dishes were actually quite good (risotto and caprese salad) but the steak and pasta dishes were just awful. Disappointing for me because I actually like his cooking shows

    Not sure if this is just a Perth thing, but I've never had a bad dish there. Sure - it isn't fine dining italian, but I've had worse at local Italian restaurants for much higher price.

  • design2last on 19/12/2018 - 11:06

    Gave this place two chances in Brisbane but will not be going back even with buy one get on free. Both times pasta was under seasoned and over cooked. Server claimed they cook it that way because people complained when it was not super soft. Icing in the cake was being given the EFTPOS terminal and told to enter the tip with the serving hovering over me.

    • owduck on 19/12/2018 - 22:42

      I had the same experience in Brisbane, including the attempt to pressure me into a tip. I was wondering if the staff were fed up with the $10 pasta deal because there's no way I could see the small serves of overcooked pasta we got actually running $25+

      If that really was the usual product it's no surprise they ended up in administration…

    • spaceflight on 02/01/2019 - 11:35

      That's normal for restaurants and the way it should be if the machine asks for a tip.

      If the staff skip the tip screen then they could have given themselves a tip with you knowing. When you enter your pin you are then accepting what was entered.

      Press enter, move past the screen, type in your pin. It isn't hard.

      • design2last on 02/01/2019 - 21:08

        Oh come off it. The business is called hospitality for a reason. I don't want a waiter putting an EFTPOS terminal in my face in front of a date and hearing him say "Would you like to tip sir?". Which is exactly what happened at Jamie's Italian in Brisbane.

        If this guy earned a tip by going ABOVE and BEYOND his job description them I would 100% give him a sizeable tip. On this occassion he did not.

        We pay through the roof for restaurants in Australia and a large part of that is that our government thankfully agrees that hospitality workers should warn a living wage.

        (profanity) off back to the USA with your asking for tips bullshit.

        Also I own a restaurant and my terminals do NOT have a prompt asking for a tip because I took it off.

          But if he skipped the tip screen like you wanted him to how would you have given him a tip?

          (profanity) off back to the USA with your asking for tips bullshit.

          I'm not from the USA, maybe you should go back to wherever taught you to be so impolite.

          Also I own a restaurant and my terminals do NOT have a prompt asking for a tip because I took it off.

          You can do what you like when you own a business.

          That's great to know, I hope you don't have such an attitude with your customers.

          That is if you have any because according to your Reddit account you're a mechanical engineer.

          We pay through the roof for restaurants in Australia

          Then please lower your restaurant prices and stop gouging customers. You're part of the problem you're complaining about.

    We went the other night. They added 10% to our already large bill for being a 'big' (10) table. Not going back.

    • spaceflight on 02/01/2019 - 11:37

      That's common at many restaurants.

      • J6 on 02/01/2019 - 11:46

        they add 10% to large groups?

        why?

        • spaceflight on 02/01/2019 - 12:09
          +3

          Large groups are harder than smaller gross.

          Large groups may require an extra chef or server to be working to get everyone's food out at the same time.

          Large groups generally also stay longer so the restaurant may miss out on a second sitting.

          Jamie's won't let you book a table for 10 online and directs you to their group booking page. The fee would have been explained when the group booking was made.

      • Vool on 02/01/2019 - 12:00

        Really? I've eaten with big groups plenty of times and that was a first.
