Piatto – Cresta
Greek Salad Review
A run of the mill, standard Greek Salad
Rating – 4/10
All my past experiences of the Piatto in Cresta have been great! This salad however left me longing for something better!
Presentation
I have decided to add the presentation of the salads into my reviews…
The Piatto salad came in a regular bowl, with the salad dressing stuck in the corner of the bowl on top of the salad itself, over all the presentation came across as nothing special!
As soon as I see a salad being served in a bowl I automatically jump to the assumption that the bowl will be filled with lettuce, and all other ingredients will be piled on the top. The Piatto salad did not disappoint my assumptions!
The Cons
It had less than half a tomato?! Seriously… with all the local petrol price increases I didn’t expect tomato to become the most expensive part of a salad?! So why are we skimping on the tomato these days?
The salad really was a no fuss, nothing special, pile of lettuce in a bowl with some veggies thrown on top.
I am really loosing respect for the salads served with the ’soft gooey’ feta cheese, feta cheese should crumble. I know this contradicts some of my past reviews but I am beginning to wonder if this is the cheap alternative to real feta cheese!
The Pros
The olives were great, not to rich, yet flavorful!
I tasted the salad dressing before I even poured it onto the salad (just in case it was terrible), and I was pleasantly surprised. It appeared to be home made, as it was a dressing I had never tasted before. It came across quite strong on its own, but once poured onto the salad it complimented the veggies perfectly.
Summary
I wouldn’t go out of my way to order this one as a starter. Stick to their Camembert cheese!!
