| - The marinara has some very addictive quality. I went here two nights in a row. The first night, I walked from my hotel trying to find some non-fast food option close by. The hotel receptionist actually recommended a different hotel's restaurant, but it was smoke filled (I'm from Austin and you just don't smoke in bars or restaurants) and I waited for 10 minutes at the hostess station and was no one acknowledged I was there.
So, I walked out, wandered around and in a tiny strip mall I spotted the Gino Bros. sign. They have an extensive menu for different pizzas with numerous options, including gourmet toppings. In addition to the many pizza options, they have salads, gyros, hoagies, pasta, and calzones. I ordered the manicotti and the portion was HUGE. I was in awe and said, "WOW" really loudly when the server passed me my plate. Some gentlemen in the restaurant thought my reaction was laughable, but that's how surprised at my plate of manicotti.
The next night, my rugby team was looking for a place to hold team dinner. We recommended Gino Bros. Seven of my teammates shared two extra large pepperoni pizzas. They loved every bite and there was nothing leftover. I don't eat meat so I ordered the eggplant parmigiana. Again, the portions were HUGE. I had tons leftover and shared them with teammates the next day. Everyone agreed that it was delicious.
My reason for only giving four stars is the salads are only made up of iceburg lettuce. A teammate ordered a Greek salad which should be made up of romaine lettuce, but she got the drab iceburg. She ate it nonetheless, but I guess I am a bit of a lettuce snob.
Affordable, delicious, and extra large portions. Can't ask for much more except bourgie greens.
