It's a love or hate. I hate. Some people love.
Not the cleanest place in the world and prepare for relaxed/slow service but I'm sure I ordered the wrong thing if so many people love it.

Eggplant parm is really, really good.

The seafood ravioli is good. So is the chicken parm.

It can be, or it can be a pork cutlet.
I like Wienerschnitzel ala Holstein. Pound the daylights out of a veal cutlet with a meat hammer. Dredge it in flour, then an egg wash and then Italian bread crumbs. Saute the veal until browned. Top it with a medium fried egg, capers and an anchovy. Have red cabbage and spaetzle (SP?) on the side.

Authentic euro service.

Yeah, I posted above that that's what I'd probably order. Not sure if they serve it w/ the cabbage and spaetzle, though.

I've learned to not want to kick lazy euro arse when in Europe.

Many places are attentive. That´s like a European saying poor service in Alaska is endemic of the entire USA.

I've been to Europe a multitude of times. The service is always ........very euro. I embrace it now.

ETA I´m now in the grand USA, but I know what goes on, I mean to say.

I don't know what QSR is.......but euro service is definitely less attentive than in the us. I'm not judging.......anymore. But it is an adjustment an American has to make........where do you live? I would love to live over there in spite of the service.

I´m suffering Atlanta right now.
I live in Northern Spain, and have spent thirty plus years in Western Europe, and enjoyed sporadic activity in Eastern Europe.
I get what you´re saying, and it´s probably due to a poor experience in Florence, Italy, if I may be so bold, but it´s like you said, it´s something you get used to.
Also, where one is from, or perceived to be, has alot to do with the attention, apart from the language, obviously.

Oh I understand this. But not Florence. We go everywhere. Stockholm, Tallin, Copenhagen, Belgium, Berlin, Netherlands, Germany, Croatia, Slovenia.............it's just a different service culture. It always takes me a couple of days to adjust to it.
