  • First of all, can all you wannabes with inflated egos who use Groupons stop insisting "I'm not one of those Grouponers who... a. doesn't tip well b. won't buy more than (fill in the blank) dollars worth of ...(usually, twice the amount of the Groupon). c. fill in the blank. Get over yourself: YOU'RE USING A Groupon; therefore, YOU'RE NO BETTER THAN ANY OTHER GROUPONER. You wouldn't be at this place (whatever this place is) without the Groupon unless you needed to impress. People with money, real money, like a Leonardo DiCaprio, Donald Trump, Bill Clinton, Caroline Kennedy, Martha Stewart, etc. don't use Groupons AND THEY NEVER WILL. If going out meant they had to proffer a groupon, they would stay home. Being thrifty is one thing, not wanting to pay full price for a meal out is quite another. If the only reason you're going out is because of the discount why not just go to McDonalds? Back to the restaurant at hand: the problem with Aiello's is not the food, which is remarkably good for the price, and it's not the service, which is fine. It might be the decor or the location. Read the reviews - no one mentions what the place looks like, because the interior is bland. It's clean, but circa 1973 (this is a guess). No artwork, no color. I think (I can't remember for sure) it has white walls. There are some dark beams on the ceiling? Some dark trim? I remember looking at a bunch of tables that each sit 4 people in the large dining room we sat in. Is there another room? I don't know. We were there on a Friday night. Friday night at other restaurants in Phoenix is BUSY. This place had quite a few empty tables. The food is good, so what is the problem? Some decorating might help. The interior of an Olive Garden or a Red Lobster looks a lot better. The food is about the same - pricewise. Part of the fun of eating out is being in a place that's different from home. I love Italian food, so I want to feel without even looking at the food that I'm in an Italian restaurant. Aiello's is an empty stage waiting for the set decorator and the scenery. The location may not be the best either. IT'S SAFE - that's not it. It's either on Central or 7th Ave in central Phoenix, which is a high-end neighborhood. I remember it being dark when we went - this is not in a strip mall, I think. If it is, the other stores are closed. I would guess that a lot of people in that area are driving to Scottsdale on Friday evenings. People up north, and in the East and West Valleys have a few bucks, but who is going to drive to this location from those locations, especially when so many good restaurants are available in those areas? I'm guessing that the owner may own the property, otherwise they would've moved to a different location years ago.
