Alexandra Ristorante Italiano, Ramsgate UK
Fernando Peire goes to Alexandra Ristorante Italiano at Ramsgate, UK to help the owners fix their failing restaurant.
The restaurant is located right on the main street by a marina that is full of boats. Almost every store on that entire road is another restaurant, and they are all full of customers except for Alexandra.
When Peire first goes there, he visits as an undercover diner along with a chef friend. The next day he visits Alexandra and meets the husband and wife and son who are the owners.
The wife, Maria, immediately tells him that she gets a bad vibe from him, and that she does not like him. Wow, that is a hard way to start any TV series. I felt sorry for Peire.
During the entire episode, Maria was rude bordering on nasty and refused to take any advice. She had excuses for everything and when they visited all the other neighboring restaurants that were packed with visitors, Maria shrugged it off.
Peire moves ahead anyhow and repaints the interior of the restaurant and cleans it up, but the problem at Alexandra is Maria. If you google this place, the negative reviews are mostly from the rude service provided by Maria.
I think that Maria and her disrespectful remarks towards Peire really doomed this show. This was his first episode, and he looked bad thanks to Maria.
If Maria had talked to Gordon Ramsay the same way, I can imagine he would have blasted her into the stone age.
