Has anyone else tried to wash your hands in a restaurant in Rome?

Question

I couldn't figure out how to turn the water on! There was a crook-neck faucet, but no motion sensor or handles or anything. Someone else came in and couldn't turn it on either. Mr Wizard broke the faucet in the mens' room trying to get it to work. But we didn't feel too bad because they charged us $50 for a small meal.

Answer 1

Your experience must have been specific to that restaurant.  And you must have been eating close to a tourist attraction for the meal to be so pricey.

Answer 2

if Wizard couldn't do it, how can simple folk like us accomplish the job?

Answer 3

Well I had no problems ,I went in June! It was full of Americans too, was it their national holiday time? Their food wasn't all that great though. We had the best meals in a Chinese and The Hard Rock Cafe!!
