I like Italian food,	especially	pizza and spaghetti.	
The restaurant was quite busy	not to say	crowded.	
They serve two main kinds of food,	namely	Thai and Indonesian.	
The cost of eating out is outrageous,	or at least	it’s extremely pricey.	
The soup wasn’t very tasty	not to say	bland.	
The waiters speak many languages	including	English, Chinese and French.	
In the morning they usually serve dim sum,	that is to say	a selection of steamed and fried dishes.	
She never eats out in restaurants	or at any rate	very rarely.	
I thought $500 a head was rather expensive	not to say	a rip off.
