text: It is almost as if Cucina Tagliani does not even exist Despite its visible location right off the Loop freeway I have never seen a wait To some that might be a good thing in my opinion if it is too easy it is probably not worth it And Cucina Tagliani proves that it is not worth it time and time again nnLets start with first impressions tacky and unoriginal The whole interior is decorated to look like some small Italian village or something Oh gee I have never seen that look beforeOh wait is not that what every Italian place looks like nnThe food is soso Nothing special at best and downright disgusting at worst They do not even have spaghetti and meatballs This place fills the Italian restaurant stereotype to a tee and then they do not offer traditional Italian fare It just does not make sense nnThe service is just terrible They never have enough people to keep everything running smoothly and the waitresses are so fake Working in the food industry myself I am not the kind of customer that asks for three sides of ranch after my food is already at the table But even if you order the simplest items the waitresses will still treat you like they would want nothing more than to poke your eyes out with the rolled utensils nnWith this deadly combination it is no wonder Olive Garden has a minute wait at any given time and Tagliani cannot even fill the dining room
