Rozalia Russian’s daughter Willow has gone viral for her brutal restaurant reviews after criticising Europe’s top restaurants.
The Australian fashion influencer is currently enjoying a sunny trip around Europe with her husband Nick and their children Willow, 10, and Kingston, six.
Rozalia and bar owner Nick have been treating their children to sumptuous meals at Michelin-starred restaurants as they travel around Italy and France on the trip of a lifetime.
But some of the food options left daughter Willow unimpressed and she has been writing scathing reviews of the restaurants during her holiday.
Rozalia, who suffered food poisoning at a French restaurant, has been sharing Willow’s hilarious ideas, which have gone viral and left her fans in stitches.
Like her father Nick, owner of Melbourne’s popular Bar Bambi, Willow has a passion for hospitality and could pursue a career as a critic.
The youngster’s latest review came when the family visited Milan’s Nabucco Restaurant, which earned a four-star online rating from impressed customers.
The Italian restaurant describes itself as “a work of art in the heart of Milan” and shows off its inventive dishes on Instagram, but it didn’t seem to suit Willow’s palate.
Rozalia Russian’s daughter Willow (who she shares with husband Nick) has gone viral for her brutal critiques of Europe’s top restaurants.
Although he gave it a generous 8.5/10 rating, he recounted how his younger brother Kingston had hysterically referred to his chicken cotoletta as a ‘chicken lollipop’.
She went on to describe the food as “just okay” as the high-end menu options didn’t seem to appeal to the 10-year-old.
In her review, she shared: ‘Nabucco Milano. We came here after seeing Mom’s shop, which was closed. It was a DISAPPOINTMENT. We arrived and got a nice table.
‘Drinks: Mom, white wine. Dad, red wine. Kingston, water. Me, water.
‘Lunch: Mom, Osso Buco with risotto. Dad, Osso Buco with risotto. Kingston: Cotoletta Chicken. Me, Cotoletta Chicken.
‘While we were waiting for our food, BORED Kingston learned how to use Pinterest and was decorating his new room in the house, but until now he had put everything away.
‘His new room is blue, green, orange, with a basketball court and a slide inside… oh, and bunk beds.
‘Kingston refused to eat his because it had a drop of sauce on it and then his mom licked it off and then he refused to eat it because his mom licked it off and called it a chicken lollipop and his mom said IT’S ACTUALLY BEEF.
Despite being invited to some of Europe’s most luxurious restaurants, 10-year-old Willow has been unimpressed with some of the options and has shared her opinions in scathing reviews.
‘Overall we had to wait 30 minutes for our food to be brought to us. The food was okay, not AMAZING or SPECTACULAR, just okay. I give it a rating of 8.5/10.’
This isn’t the first time budding food critic Willow has penned a scathing review, having previously slammed some of Paris’ best-known restaurants.
After dining at an upmarket restaurant in the French capital, Willow described her seafood dish as “horrendous” and said she had also eaten “some weird thing made with cheese”.
Rozalia fans have been left laughing at the youngster’s unfiltered opinions on some of Europe’s best restaurants, which clearly aren’t to every 10-year-old’s taste.
Commenting on their reviews, one fan wrote: “Can you please extend these so they keep coming?” while another said: “My favourite travel journals so far.”
A third wrote: “I’m now scared to serve Willow, her reviews are brutal,” and a fourth commented: “Mmm… I love her reviews haha.”
The youngster’s latest criticism came when the family visited Milan’s Ristorante Nabucco, and she recounted how her brother Kingston had described her dish as a “chicken lollipop” (pictured).
Sisters Amy, Sophie and Kate Taeuber also commented on their reviews on their blog Outspoken. podcastadmitting that restaurant owners must be irritated by his brutal comments.
On the first time Rozalia and Nick took their young children to Michelin-starred restaurants, they said: ‘The funniest thing about this is that the fancy restaurants haven’t really impressed the kids.’
They argued that Willow should start writing her reviews on TripAdvisor, after she found an issue with the staggering price of $1,060 (660 EUR) at a Paris restaurant.
“I really think Willow should be featured on TripAdvisor reviews and review the Louvre restaurant,” they said.
“It made me laugh because for some reason it occurred to me that maybe she had a little notepad that she wrote all this down on, but she kept a journal in the notes section of her mom’s phone.”
In addition to Willow’s disapproval of luxury venues, Rozalia also suffered food poisoning after dining at a Michelin-starred restaurant near the Louvre in Paris.
Last week, she shared on Instagram that she wasn’t very hungry and so decided to order a “light meal” of Niçoise salad, which she says made her severely nauseous.
In addition to Willow’s disapproval of luxury venues, Rozalia also suffered food poisoning after eating a Nicoise salad (pictured) at a Michelin-starred restaurant near the Louvre in Paris.
“Last night in Paris we had dinner here. The view was stunning. I wasn’t really hungry so I ordered something light and… food poisoning!” she wrote.
‘It was also our travel day. Between the nausea, I’d say I sweated ten times that morning, sweating and shaking. I have no idea how I got through airport security, two flights and a car transfer.
‘I’d put it up there with the worst days of my life! Food poisoning is the worst! Farewell, tuna!’
Despite being prescribed anti-nausea pills at the airport, Rozalia confessed that she felt incredibly ill during her trip to Italy.
“I couldn’t even stand up straight. I had to sit down… My whole body hurt,” she said. “All in all, it was one of the worst days of my life.”
