I was out with my family searching for a nice Italian meal but didn't want to drive all the way to Maggiano's.  Now whenever I visit an off strip restaurant I have two criteria that they must meet to achieve 3 or more stars:\n1. It is equal to or better than Sizzler \n2. The service is decent enough where I don't have to wait more than 5 minutes at a time for my server to return with a refill etc.\n\nFists off my 4 year old wanted saut\u00e9ed mushrooms instead of a meat ball on his kids spaghetti, the server said she couldn't do it and it would be a $3 up charge. I could imagine that mushrooms were cheaper than meat until I tried the mealy, grainy, over worked, flavorless turd that they put on his plate. \n\nI had the hot wings which were clearly fried from frozen considering the menu says it takes at least 15 minutes for them to arrive and I know how long it takes to cook chicken.  They weren't bad and the sauce was decent with out too much vinegar. My 5 year old had the kids chicken parmesan which was surprisingly large but lacked flavor. The same with cavatelli meat sauce my girl friend had.  I am shocked by how little basic seasoning they use. I think the only salt in the entire restaurant is on the table. There was none in the pasta water none in the sauce and certainly none when the meat was cooking.  Honestly I could make better Italian food on a camp stove.  \n\nI think the bottom line is I am so sick of being let down by Italian. I hate signing my fifty dollar check and thinking to myself how I could have gone to fazoli's if I wanted a shitty meal. \n\nThanks for nothing Giuseppe's,
