text: Just awful although I may have given this place two stars if so many people did not rave about it Where should i start nnIn the four months since I have move to South Charlotte I have had more meals at franchises that I did my whole life It is kind of sad really The place was packed which strangely enough that is been a bad omen here in Charlotte I found a place at the bar and started off with Jameson neat that mellows me out usuallynnIll skip the usual whining about the service Italian bread with olive oil and rosemary to dunk it in fantastic I am starved But only a supermarket would try to pass that bread as eyetalian and the olive oil was tasteless Throwing in even a drop of balsamic would have overpowered it One downnnThe Caesar salad arrives it is just iceberg lettuce with some shaved Wisconsin processed parmesan and a couple of bread croutons No dressing no nothing Caesar whatnnI ordered pork chops in Marsala sauce and I finally understand why people gave good ratings to Fontanella believe or not the sauce here is actually WORSE little porcini mushrooms totally overpowered by the salt shaker that was emptied in the sauce And the Marsala forget it there was NONE to be tasted what is this prohibition era wine sauce I wanted to just eat it and put an end to this ordeal but the salt overdose made it impossible The executive chef came out and met me They served another pork chop although the plate called for two of them without the salt overdose but again without marsala or any significant seasoning nnBack in the s I used to do go to bike week in Daytona quite often The food was universally complete crap and the so called best restaurants in town The Olive Garden and the Outback had people lined up around the block nThats what tonight reminded me of A huge crowd feasting on crappy foodnnedit I forgot to mention the mashed potato with garlic because there is absolutely nothing to say about it
