| - First let me give you my take on Fazoli's. Fazoli's is to Italian food, as Panda Express is to Chinese food. It may not be authentic, it's fast food, but I like it.
I had the Ultimate Sampler, Fettuccine Alfredo, Meat Lasagna, Spaghetti and Penne Pasta with Meat Sauce, endless bread sticks, $6.99, with a soda and tax just over $9.
I will start with the bread sticks, they were very good, by themselves or using them to sop up the left over sauce, very tasty.
Lasagna, noodles with ricotta and meat sauce poured over top,
Penne pasta with meat sauce poured over the top.
Spaghetti with meat sauce poured over the top.
Fettuccine pasta with Alfredo sauce poured over the top.
If you keep in mind it's fast food, this is how you would make lasagna and the rest of the food. You have pans of sauces, pans of cooked meat (chicken, meatballs, etc) and vegetables, with boiling water to quickly cook the different pastas. Then combine them in as many combinations you can. You boil the noodles, add meat or vegetables (if the dish calls for it) and pour sauce over the top, Voila, Italian fast food.
It's not going to compare to, nor intended to compete with, an authentic Italian restaurant, old family recipes, sauce cooking all day long. For what it is, it's good.
They also have salads, pizza and sandwiches. The sodas are Coke genre,
If you have eaten Fazoli's before, this is a nice location, with a very good staff, always checking to see if you need anything. If you haven't been to Fazoli's, I recommend you give them a try.
