More of the same and a little bit less. Dom Caruso’s was disappointing.
The menu looks like any other traditional Italian American menu of usuals; spaghetti and meatballs, lasagna, chicken parmigiana. This place replaced Bona, and kept the menu along with some staff. I love the server lady who has been there for 20 years. Hey girl!
The oily garlic knots were not a great start.
We both… OOPS, I mean, just me alone, chose two Caesar salads to start. Cesar-inspired? Ceaser-ish? No, anchovies make me sad. The croutons were like dental roulette… with textures from rock-hard, little leather chunks, to packing peanuts dipped in gorilla glue. Caesar dressing served on the side in a little plastic cup…
The soap in the dispenser was different from what the label said it was. Weird, but not as weird as how a stale crouton could be even more stale.

I ordered the carbonara which I knew was high-risk, and the veal parmesan because I am but one person, and I hate baby cows. The food came out fast… too fast. My pasta was cooked fine but the sauce was a gummy mess. Smokey bacon and ONIONS.
All in all, 3 out of 5 forks. I wanted to weep when I got the check.
