You guys are all wrong. Fazoli's is the best. I can't think of another Italian restaurant that has a dollar menu.

Just a couple of points off subject:

#1. Don't you hate when people pronounce it "EYEtalian"? It drives me nuts. They're the same people that say SEEment instead of cement. I like to eat EYEtalian food down by the SEEment pond.

#2. Why do people order spaghetti at a restaurant? It's like ordering a grilled cheese sandwich. When I go out I like to order something that I can't make myself in 10 minutes for under $5.00.

I know this will date me, but so does everything else, so can anyone tell me whatever happened to Ristorante Della Fontana?

It closed down and there is an Ichibon Sushi in it's place. My grandma used to take my sisters, cousins and I there every new years eve. Right before it closed, she got their recipe for their minestrone and gave it to me.

I ate at Il Fornaio...or something like in Denver Wed night. It was our final dinner and it was excellent.

It was the first time I'd ever seen or had hard boiled eggs inside of my lasagna.

It gave me the runs something fierce, but dang it was good.

#1 - It pisses me off. I have to use every ounce of self control to not punch them in the face and ask them "Is the country Eyetaly, dumbass?"

#2 - Because when it comes to food, people are afraid to try something they're not comfortable with. That's why I don't eat bait...errrr...sushi.

That was one of my favorites as well, the former church with an indoor waterfall. It was a great place to take a date, being served 7 courses over a two-hour span.

These days when in Salt Lake and going for Italian, I like the outdoor seating at Tuscany in Fort Union.

Old Spaghetti Factory is for those without tastebuds.
