Although we had reservation both the table and food was an incredibly long wait. In addition they sat us in a completely different section than we had been promised to have when I made the reservations. They continued to forget our drinks and every time we reminded the staff they gave us a malicious response. Our waiter was more concerned with gossiping with his colleagues than assist our table. Towards the end of evening as it was getting chilly I asked the manager to turn on the heating lamp because the busboy turned it off while he was cleaning our table. He cruelly refused, began snapping his fingers and basically became violent with his foul language and demeanor. In an error in judgment, we decided to stay for the birthday girl. Since the restaurant turns into a club the staff began removing our chairs from the table before we finished our desserts and drinks. This is ultimately the worse experience ever!

When I went, I don't think the bar was open. If it was, I didn't get the chance to check it out. Based on Rachel's description of the bar, I'm not sure I should check it out. I will, however, say that the restaurant itself was very different from what Rachel described. The service at lunch was okay, and the customers were mostly business people networking over a meal.

I've only been to the bar once and will never go back. It's full of trashy girls trying to look classy with their fake boobs and slutty tops. Service and customers were extremely rude and the place is full of attitude. Ugh, I HATE Villa Sorriso. I’ve only been to the bar once and will never go back.
