As a weekly visitor of the Soho dining area was I glad to find this place which was new to me...A narrow alley at Elgin street guides you to the restaurant entrance,.

A narrow alley at Elgin street guides you to the restaurant entrance,. It looks all so idyllic and promising.
My girlfriend and I are immediately seated and ready to order lunch....Surprisingly were we the only customers around 1pm on a Saturday afternoon.
The concept of their set lunch menu was a bid confusing i must say ...basically it's an á la carte menu but includes either a salad or ''Italian vegetable soup as starter. The salad concept is ''all you can eat’ ‘although there is no salad bar or any counter with cold dishes...
Both of us decide to keep things simple and feel tempted to order the Italian soup (at least...it sounds to be something Italian’’).
I believe there shouldn’t be anything too complicated about making a fresh vegetable soup....Unfortunately, at 'Mostaccioli Brothers it seems to come out of a can...
I did my best to finish all but my girlfriend decided to leave it after one sip.
Looking forward for the main dish...
A salmon Salad and a Pasta with Salami...
The smoked salmon was completley mashed and the color looked weird.....
but the highlight of our lunch was the pasta..
........making pasta myself every week, ..I could tell that this one was heated up in a micro wave.. !!! ofcourse not ál dente'and obviously not freshsly made....quite dissapointing for a so called Ítalian restaurant'' !!
As very dissapoitning customers., we left most of our plate and requested the pay and leave....
It's was a very sad experience because the location has potential....
Even though the owners are not Italian, I expected they would have done some research and better efforts.
