"One year ago we celebrated a family member s birthday at Cascina Veja and had a wonderful meal. Most of the courses were good and the service was excellent. We returned this year to celebrate the same family member's birthday and what a huge disappointment. Only...one of the courses they served us was acceptable and that being the very first salumi plate. The second course was Russian salad made with raw carrots, raw potatoes and raw peas. The third course was a sausage and egg roll that was served right out of the microwave.... boiling hot and mushy. The fourth course was a flan of zucchini and mint with some sort of unidentifiable sauce.... once again served straight from the microwave and half of my flan was boiling hot and half was still frozen. For the next course we were offered spaghetti with porcini mushroom sauce but what we were served was pasta with no mushrooms in sight. Next we were served ravioli with pasta so thick it tasted like a dumpling and the filling tasted only of cloves. The meat course was supposedly Bocconcini di Vitello with roasted potatoes but what arrived were scraps of tough, chewy meat and rubbery, tasteless potatoes that must have been left over from last week. For dessert we opted for semifreddo with strawberries but what we were served was a solid frozen block of cream that was so hard we couldn't eat it. When we pointed this out to the server, she said Leave them on your plates for 10 minutes and they will soften up The quality and service had deteriorated so much in one year that we asked if there had been a change of management only to be told No, why do you ask An agriturismo that serves frozen food and uses microwaves does not deserve anybody's patronage. Never again."
