Subject: Complaint

Dear Sir or Madam,

I am writing to complain about my visit to your restaurant yesterday, Friday the 15th. We booked
a table for six to celebrate a birthday but, unfortunately, the evening turned into a 1 ...................................................
disappointment.

First of all, we were extremely unhappy with the menu choices. Your restaurant is advertised as specialising in
Italian 2 ................................................... , so we were surprised when we found not one pasta 3 ................................................ on the menu.

Secondly, when some of us ordered pizza, we were told that it would be served without cheese, as
the restaurant had 4 .............................. mozzarella. Again, we found this to be surprising in an Italian restaurant,
which should have 5 ................................................ plenty of this staple ingredient.

I might have 6 .............................. everything else if the food had been good, but it wasn’t. Some of us took the
7 .............................
and ordered capricciosa pizzas, without the cheese. The crust was hardly baked and the
toppings were nearly 8 ................................Furthermore, the “spicy” olive and tomato salads were very
9
................................................... . In fact, we found most of the food to be barely 10 ................................................... .

Given that what was supposed to be a special occasion was so disappointing, I expect an apology and some form
of compensation.

I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Yours faithfully,

Ian Jefferson
