Bad Experience at Carmine's

I'd been looking forward to eating at Carmine's for some time so was sorely disappointed this week. When my partner and I placed our orders (both pasta dishes) we wondered why we were provided with dessert spoons. We waited for our meal with a glass of wine and what appeared to be baked offcuts of pizza dough. When our meals were served we understood the need for the dessert spoons. Both dishes consisted of mounds of pasta overcooked to blotting paper stage swimming, in my partner's instance, with undercooked veg, mine (arrabiata) with a what seemed like a barely cooked down tin of tomatoes complete with tough stalk end intact and absolutely no chilli favour. We tried our best but both dishes were frankly inedible and we complained. The Aberdonian waitress explained it was the Italian way for veg to be undercooked and Carmine chipped in that British people did not like pasta cooked al dente and if we had wanted it that way we should have asked. We were not charged and the experience ended with a brief exchange with a loyal but extremely rude waitress who invited us never to return.Carmine - time to come into the 21st century - we're not the culinary dinosours you seem to think we are.
