View Full Version : Help the first lady out!

Hey guys! First lady here...!

As any of you in the small business industry may know, times can be tough in todays market, even if what you are selling is top notch!

We believe that recently a few of our competitors have been posting negative reviews on urbanspoon and as such a long-standing family italian restaurant owned by my dad is not getting the recognition and business it deserves.

And although i receive numerous compliments about the food and service, most of them go unnoticed as people only seem to take the time to post negative comments on public forums.

If you could take 10 seconds to click like on our urbanspoon page it would be much appreciated :)

http://www.urbanspoon.com/r/338/1370449/restaurant/Perth/South-Perth/Lago-di-Como-Ristorante-Italiano-Como

And as a thank you, if you mention "Jordana" you will receive a complimentary main course with any main course purchased up to the value of $35.00


Thanking you kindly :)

You need to speak to Truffles, and get him to educate you on how things are done around here.

Favours like this attract a certain "fee".

In fact, it's harder to find a picture of you that doesn't contain your scrotum.

I know you are mates and you are going for laughs, but if this was a genuine request pretty disrespectful
.
IMO wives / fiance are the same as asking for nudes of Mum.

You are right, they are mates and this is NOT at all genuine and I know Jordy will also see it this way. I can assure you she won't be offended by it from Rhett as he is a very close friend to both Paul & Jordy.
But I do see your point if he was not such a close friend.

Pet hate is reading reviews by the general pubic. In fairness, 90% of people who review wouldn't know their heads from their arses, reading between the lines in most reviews, it's apparent a holier than thou attitude exits - I blame reality tv cooking shows ! But it's a necessary evil. Liked.

Not to be a 'hardcore cyber bully' or anything and I've never been to the restaurant in question so I can't comment.

However, whilst I'm all for 'helping out a mate' I think it's a bit wrong to write false reviews?

How would you like it if you read great reviews about a restaurant and decided to go for a first date, anniversary etc and the place was actually a shit hole (By no means am I implying this place is either)? Or to put into your terms, a great fishing spot in the middle of the desert?

Like she said I’m her first post. A lot of the posts are from competitor businesses so you cant take these reports seriously. I’m just helping bring back the balance.
Only real way to find out is to go for yourself, my comment may give people a chance to try it and not beilieve the negative

My uncles acually go there often and being full sicilian thay would know if its good so im posting for them ;). Also like she said not many people write the good stuff just the bad

24-04-2013, 01:12 PM
Haven't tried it yet - but is there any truth to the reviews so far?

Is corkage $7 a bottle?
No pizzas available seems to be common?
Poor service?

Nobody likes criticism, but if it were my restaurant, I would be taking these on the chin and trying to do something about it.
Which one of the reviews do you think was posted by the competition?

Brockas
24-04-2013, 01:16 PM
Pizzas are only available Friday and Saturday I believe, and that was written pretty clearly on the menu last time I went in.

Not sure about corkage, and naturally the service I get might be slightly different, but everyone always seems really nice. I've been there alot and never seen anyone complain or look unhappy.

OK fair enough.
What I was trying to say - if the limited number of people that bothered to post on the internet are complaining they can't get pizzas on the night they go there, maybe it might be worth looking at doing them on more than two nights a week?

Thanks for your feedback. I know dad is currently in the process of recruiting some more staff so that we can have pizza available more often :)

There's something a bit fucked up with there page, I liked it this morning and there was 127 likes and i just did it again though my other account and now there's only 76 likes. There's something dodgey going on there.

Yup, I was "like" #98.

If you 'like' it twice it removes your like. So if anyone is trying to help with extra likes it is not helping?

Urbanspoon remove reviews and likes if there is a sudden surge in a short period.

Caversham House were offering a $50 restaurant voucher if you posted a review on US if you'd been there. The reviews got deleted off US and that was the explanation given to Caversham House. Missus got her voucher though as they still honoured it, haven't got mine yet.

Any recent negative reviews aren't on the page either by the looks. There's just some from 2011. So maybe it works both ways.

They've also canned a review from "Lucy" from the start of the month that was pretty negative. Also, likes are back to 80.
