text: You have GOT to be kidding me Hubby and I read all this great stuff on here and just had dinner Uncle Sals tonight We were so hopeful that it was going to be good We ordered two glasses of wine and were given the cheap white italian bread with butter and garlic salt Is it good sure I guess but it is just hwo I described it Cheap bread to fill up on Started with Crab Cakes awful crumbly dry mostly breading corn etc should be called a crab flavored bread fritter And even then it would be subpar We also had the calamari fritti it was fair nothing more We upgraded to caesar salads with our entries The caesar salad is just chopped up romaine in bite size pieces and enormous croutons of the same cheap white bread swimming in creamy mayonnaisey bottle dressing Do they even know what a real ceasar is or at least what the dressing should be like I understand that a salad that comes with an entry usually is not anything special but you would like something that actually taste a little like a caesar WTH There is a lot of lag between courses and the atmosphere is mature Main courses came I had Tortellini that should have had some proscuitto in it but I certainly could not find any It had plenty of mushroom pieces and peas and was basically fine if what you wanted was Stouffers Tortellini It had no depth milky sauce just blah But the worst or all was my husbands Cioppino Two shrimps on top were molten hot the slab of cod was stiff and cold the clams were cold and sooo firm you could hardly pull them out of the she will It was a mess We cannot even figure out how this dish was put together because of the varying temps There was a mound of pasta under the sauce but hubby was hesitant to eat any for fear of getting sick from the weirdly cooked seafood At this point we felt like we would been there forever We ordered a Tiramisu to go hoping it would be decent and we would have something we could eat for all our time and money and paid our bill We just wanted out of that dull hideous place When we got home we sampled the Tiramisu again totally inauthentic and blah blah blah The lady fingers should be drenchedsoaked not dry and stiff this was basically stiff lady fingers with heaps and heaps and heaps of sweet marscapone with liberal cocoa powder on top Apparently if you want a LOT of food but do not care if it taste anything like Italian food you will like this place We are from Chicago and have eaten in some high end Italian places good old family style Italian restaurants and some that had the classic americanized things like Tortellini etc and this was like nothing I have ever experienced Bland tasteless cafeteria food You could probably get better frozen items at Costco Ugh
