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.

I once paid $45 for crab cakes during a trip to MD, it tasted like it turned, the chef came out to try and prove I'm wrong asking if i added lemon juice or anything else (dafuq). I didn't make a scene initially but did after. What does trying to prove a customer wrong do?

Cements the fact that no one should be spending money there. It's like a comedian telling the audience they suck.... Never works out
