Fratelli Sarti

Oh dear. Why oh why is this restaurant always so busy when it's just SO overrated! I went to Sarti (Bath Street) last night and yet again was disappointed. After ordering a rather harsh £16 bottle of wine (and this is at the cheaper end of the wine list), I foolishing decided on the £7 "prawns in garlic" for my starter which turned out to be a bowl of (possibly frozen) shrimps with a dry bit of bread. The gnocchi was ok but again presented without any passion on a big miserable looking plate, AND took ages to come. I also don't understand why Sarti don't give customers a little bit of bread to nibble on during their long wait for food....and I don't understand why this place is so popular because I won't be returning.
