Was at Giorgio this evening. Its a little confusing - the place. They probably run three food outlets from the same location at Besant Nagar - so you have all these people with PizzaWorld, Giorgio and Kebab-something on their lapels.

I ate at Giorgio. They played all the danceable beat-packed numbers and it kind of made the long wait for the food a little tolerable. This is the first time I had pork in my soup - the 'American Gumbo' tasted different and nice.

The Menu cards at Giorgio are a bit bewildering. Once you've leafed through one of them, just ask if they have something else to offer, and the waiter presents an 'Indian Menu', a 'Sunday Dessert Menu' and also a 'Pizza Menu'. I think these guys are trying too hard to cater to everybody's palate.

I tried this Chinese dish called Dim Sum (Oh yes, there's the country flag for every dish on the Menu). Delicately minced chicken in some sort of flour covering - probably deep-fried (from all that oil oozing out). But it tasted great with the spicy accompaniment.

The Menu description for the Cuban Medianoche sandwich was terrific and I proceeded to order just that. After what seemed like eons, they served me a sandwich which had none of the ingredients highlighted in the Menu. I actually asked the waiter to point out 'What lies beneath' my Cuban crust. They actually 'realized' they'd served me the all-cheese, no-meat version. First its late and second, its not even what I ordered. Had it sent back for the dish I wanted.

Bored as hell, I ordered a Devil's Own chocolate shake which arrived ages later - warm, and tasting like Bournvita. I lost my temper. I don't know how polite I was, but they redid my Chocolate shake with extra ice-cream, extra extra chocolate shrapnel and packed me my Cuban sandwich - no charge. Hours later, that neatly packed sandwich tastes great. I just wish the place (munch) could practice (munch) on providing (munch) better service. He he.
