For my report, I chose three Italian restaurants. I always do research and characteristics of the restaurant through Google map, because I see live photos of customers and the restaurant, rating, location, menu and reviews.

1. Celeste Ristorante.
2. Sicily Mia
3. Osteria Amore
All three restaurants have a rating of at least 4.5
They have menus with detailed descriptions of the ingredients.
The food in the photo looks appetizing and beautiful.
Affordable price range.
When it comes to restaurants, especially Italian ones, I usually go for gourmet cuisine. The fact is that I don’t often visit restaurants, because I really like to cook food myself, when I still decide to order food from a restaurant, it’s usually either an important date or some kind of event, which is why I tend to gourmet cuisine. Usually, I don’t pick up food but arrange delivery through DoorDash or UberEats, it saves time.

Of the three restaurants listed above, I would stop at Celeste Ristorante, this restaurant has a rating of 4.8 out of 5, before me the rating is the most important aspect when choosing food, the second aspect is photos and customer reviews, Celeste Ristorante has beautiful photos, the food looks very appetizing and beautiful, many positive reviews. I also always check the website of the restaurant because usually the website has a menu, the Celeste Ristorante has a detailed description of the ingredients which is important to me because I am allergic to certain foods. And the last important point for me is the packaging, after the food is delivered, I always pay attention to how the dishes are packed, it happened to me a couple of times that during delivery, the containers were not tightly closed and the sauce leaked into the package, for me this indicates the negligence of the restaurant or about how they use low-quality containers.

I usually call the process of studying a restaurant “search” because I always look for restaurants through the Google map, I always look at restaurants with a rating of at least 4.5 out of 5. Because I know from my own experience that the lower the rating, the more likely it is that the food will disappoint me. As I wrote above, Celeste Ristorante has a high rating of photos and reviews, which is why I settled on it, but I would also like to try two other restaurants, and as I said that the rating is important to me, therefore Celeste Ristorante wins here despite the fact that the prices for the dishes are slightly higher than the previous restaurants.
In the process of making consumer decisions, I realized for myself that it is important to evaluate the steps, such as a detailed study of the restaurant (rating, reviews, photos), evaluation of alternative restaurants, decision making in the choice and evaluation after consumption.
My preference is gourmet food because I don’t often take takeout or delivery food, I think that’s what distinguishes me from most consumers because many people order food several times a day and every day, I order food rarely and therefore I choose a good restaurant. even if the price is higher than the market, usually dinner in a good restaurant is not cheap, people usually do not buy three meals a day in expensive restaurants, choosing alternative and cheaper but with good quality.
