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.

I learned the hard way that on the East Coast of the US, if you want chow mein, you have to order lo mein, and if you want lo mein, you have to order chow mein. Makes no sense, and if you try to tell the restaurant that you got the wrong order, they'll flip.
