Caragiulo's Third Lunch

Pasta Arrabbiata with scallops, shrimp, and whitefish

Our Protagonist, staying true to usual form, went with the recommended special of the day, the Pasta Arrabbiata.  While the seafood that was included was tasty, of course that was the responsibility of the fish, not the chef!  The sauce, unfortunately, which under the direct supervision of the chef, was not very "arrabbiata"; while this shouldn't necessarily be reaching "Thai spicy" levels, you expect it to have at least a little kick.  Our Protagonist even recalls this particular dish as being the hottest he has ever eaten, all cuisines considered.  Of course, that rendition simply tasted like burning on top of more burning, so that wasn't particularly enjoyable, either, but this was, frankly, boring.  Perhaps it was toned down for the local palate?  Then don't serve it at all, rather than serve a watered-down version of a classic dish, Our Protagonist opines!
