| - I think this might be the first time I've reviewed anything in a public forum. So here we go.
Ordered online, got 20% off coupon for it being my first time ordering online (pretty sweet!)
Ordered:
Kid's pizza with pepperoni and bacon
Calamari
Chicken Caesar Salad
Tiramisu
Canoli
Kid's Pizza - $7.49:
Pretty good for being a kids pizza. About 6-8 slices, thin crust and flavorful.
Calamari - $6.99:
I'm no expert on what calamari SHOULD taste like but their calamari was really really fishy tasting. For being takeout, they remained crispy and in my opinion you get a lot more than you would at San Gennaro or Olive Garden for a lot less money. The sauce was awesome. I recommend.
Chicken Caesar Salad - Small - $7.48:
Enough to feed 2 bulimic people! Holy crap, there was so much salad. And it was fresh! The chicken was breaded, not very flavorful and chopped into tiny little cubes, which was weird. The croutons were phenomenal, lots of flavor. The dressing (Caesar) tasted home-made, anchovy based and a little too oily. It was also covered in powdered parm cheese. Overall it was just okay.
Tiramisu - $4.99:
Tiny! $5 for a really really small piece. The espresso taste was overwhelming, not sure if it was the sauce they drizzled on top but it was way too strong. Probably why I'm writing this review right now, I'm pretty wired. I wouldn't recommend it if you love traditional tasting tiramisu.
Canoli $5.99:
AMAZING! You get 2 canolis and they're a pretty good size. They're covered in powdered cinnamon and over stuffed with cream. The actual canoli tastes like puff pastry, really fresh, not too hard. Do recommend.
The service!
After ordering online I called to make sure it went through okay, and to add my desserts on because I forgot them at check out. The girl who answered the phone seemed pleasant but was really confused. She confirmed my order but stated the driver already left. I submitted the order 2 minutes before I called, lol. She apologized for the mix up, added my desserts but didn't tell me my new total. Originally it was $21 and some change, when the driver showed up it was $33 and change. Whatever! So the delivery guy shows up hands me my food, takes my money and leaves. He was pretty nice except he forgot my desserts!! I'm starting to think I wasn't supposed to have them :( so I call back, the girl that answered (different from earlier) answers the phone "Maciano's please hold". I say okay but she didn't hear me because I was already on hold. 5 minutes later she picks up the phone "sorry we're closed." It was 9:40 supposedly on their website it say they close at 11:00pm on Fridays. I say "WAIT!" because I thought she was going to hang up on me without hearing me out. I explain to her that the driver forgot my desserts, she puts me on another hold, picks the phone back up and says "he's on his way back." and that's it. No apology or anything. The driver returns, hands me my desserts and offers to shut the door for me as he sees me struggling with my dog and the bag. Oh and he apologized :)
Overall the food was OK. Service could have been better. Desserts were a bit over priced, but it is what it is. I'd like to order their pizzas instead of miscellaneous stuff, they might taste better.
