text: I want to like Aiellos I really do It is close to home and lord knows this area really needs some good neighborhood Cafes Sigh I am partially Italian originally from upstate NY and spent yrs in the SF Bay Area The interior is pleasant enough as are all the employees I have encountered but it has more of a cafeteria feel than a restaurant I am used to Italian Delis being crammed with products and am consistently puzzled by the bare looking messy deli cases I also did not even know they had a dessert type case until my th visit as its in the back and unseen unless you are on the way to the bathroom times now I have wanted to order the stuffed artichoke but they were out as they seem to be on a lot of items every time I have gone I have had the chicken Caesar it was ok Last nite I stopped in quickly to grab something to take home I winced at the price of the lasagna in the case but I was tired soOh they were out of artichokes again I was told they had run out the day before I wondered why they had not made more Anyway back to the lasagna I asked if it contained meat I wanted meat and was told yes I refuse to eat veal from humatarian reasons and was told there was no veal in it although it will prevent me from trying their meatballs I was puzzled as to why when I placed an order to go I was not asked if I wanted the lasagna hot or cold I had expected them to give me one of the pieces in the deli case and I would be on my way Instead I waited over Min And received it hot This turned out to be the worst lasagna I have ever had Stoffers is better The gravy was not a gravy it tasted more like they just shredded canned tomatoes and called it a day There were no spices and it had a raw canned flavor There was no cheese except for the slab on the top I did want to eat enough that I did not have to fix something else so I searched for the meat which was very hard to find I literally could not eat this What a waste of I have also had the chicken Marsala rubber and the pasta pomodoro bland tasteless The pizza is okbut again the sauce is bland and canned tasting It is great that they deliver but with only one giant sized pizza option available it is not really an option for just or people I am sorry but I will never get to taste the artichoke as I will not be going back
