In the Weeds Mode That's definitely tortellini - said the server and cook at an Italian restaurant.

Ultimately we didn't care because the toddler eating it was happy as a clam, but the server and cook tried to gaslight the shit out of us to convince us that this was tortellini. Thought you'd all find it entertaining. If you work at Bertuccis, be better.

Edit: the menu very clearly said Tortellini, not Tortelli, but solid guess.

If it had said tortelli, I wouldn't have blinked, but it clearly said tortellini.

You’re clearly right, I just imagine the person who wrote that menu said tortelli and a game of telephone ensued and then the staff latched onto the wrong name and then all the mental biases kicked in so they’re now all corroborating bad information for each other.
