Describing service
A new Italian restaurant called Bella Roma has just opened in the High Street, and we went there the other night to try it. I couldn’t help comparing it to the Casa Italia, where we ate last week. In the Bella Roma, the service was impeccable1 and quick; at the Casa Italia it’s always a bit sluggish2 . In the new place the waiters are courteous3 and friendly without being overbearing4 . In the other place they tend to be sullen5 and the service is rather brusque6 , which I find very off-putting7 . But at Bella Roma they’ll go out of their way8 to give you what you want.
1 perfect, cannot be faulted
5 bad-tempered, unwilling to smile
2 rather slow
6 quick and rude
3 polite
7 makes you feel you do not want to go there again
4 too confident, too inclined to tell people what to do
8 do everything possible
