| - I think this is my first one star review. Eight of us went to lunch here today and not one was truly impressed least of all me. Clams Casino appetizer was a huge disappointment.
Soggy, greasy breading, and too much of it, and off flavor. Scrap the Clams Casino.
My friend and her husband had dinner at Carluccio's a couple of weeks ago. She had Veal Piccata and said it was awful. No lemon flavor and no capers. Apparently Carluccio's doesn't use capers, one of the two key ingredients in this recipe. She said don't bother but, being who I am, wanted to see if she was being picky, She wasn't. It was AWFUL. Bland, faint lemon flavor and again an odd aftertaste.
Scrap the Veal Piccata.
The entrees come with a side of pasta but I preferred to substitute this for ravioli. I asked for meat sauce (twice) and got, you guessed it, ravioli smotherd in Marinara sauce. Bland, watery and unappetizing. Scrap the Ravioli.
My Caesar Salad was good, fresh and had the perfect amount of dressing.
My dinner companians said their meals were just okay, but one liked hers very much. She had shrimp.
We aren't going back.
Scrap Carluccio's.
