03/06/2025: Waited for half an hour even though we had booked. Not even ordering drinks. We had ordered an appetizer that arrived together with the main course.
Service to be reviewed
31/05/2025: I'll start by saying that I've been going to the OWW in Aosta - Amerique since it opened (so for more than 10 years), going at least 2/3 times a year, the last one last night.
I won't dwell on the place/ambience, which is well-known and characteristic, nor on the staff, which has always been professional and, in recent years, kinder/courteous than in the past.
I'll mainly talk about the food.
I went to eat as a couple, after a work shift that ended at 9 pm, and I had no trouble finding free tables (despite it being a Friday night). However, after ordering (appetizer mix, two drinks, two sandwiches + chips), the wait was a bit excessive, given that the place was emptying and there were less than 10 tables left, some of which were already at the end of dinner.
We already know the appetizer mix... sure, in the end it's 2 pieces of 6 different appetizers that cost almost €12 (just under €1 per bite), but we like it and we take it every time.
The problem starts when the sandwiches arrive... the quality over time (years) may have gotten a little worse (greater tendency towards classic fast food) and the prices have increased (everywhere), but the portions...
Taking the Dakota in 2014 meant being full. Today a Ribs bbq burger (more than €13 for a sandwich) is not able to fill you up... the accompanying chips in the dishes are a little variable, but still less than in the past, but the big problem remains the now small sandwich. Portions really reduced to the minimum terms. I think that you can't really do less than this (a few years ago they would have been child's portions)
Having dessert (which I have always appreciated), is no longer a choice...but again, the problem is when you find it in front of you:
once upon a time, cheesecake was characteristic, served with ice cream and delicious sticks (puff pastry?), then the slices gradually became smaller and smaller and there was only cream to accompany it...yesterday we found ourselves with a slice of cheesecake without accompaniment, with lots of syrup, which we discovered was a lot because it was watered down.
The same could be said for the famous Alaska cup...once rich, large, dense...now reduced to a scoop and a half of ice cream, with a drizzle of cream on top.
What can I say...the disappointment was total once dinner was over, especially considering it is a place I have been going to for many years. I still have points to convert into coupons, which I intend to use. But once they are finished, I will not return. Personally, the desire is no longer there and, objectively, from the point of view of attractiveness, there is better.
