| - I want to like Aiello's, I really do. It's close to home, and lord knows, this area really needs some good neighborhood Cafe's. Sigh. I'm partially Italian, originally from upstate NY, and spent 30+ yrs in the SF Bay Area. The interior is pleasant enough, as are all the employees I've encountered, but it has more of a cafeteria feel than a restaurant. I'm used to Italian Delis being crammed with products, and am consistently puzzled by the bare looking messy deli cases. I also didn't even know they had a dessert type case until my 4th visit as its in the back and unseen unless you're on the way to the bathroom. 4 times now I've wanted to order the stuffed artichoke, but they were out, as they seem to be on a lot of items every time I've gone. I've had the chicken Caesar, it was ok. Last nite I stopped in quickly to grab something to take home. I winced at the price of the lasagna in the case ($12), but I was tired, so....Oh, they were out of artichokes, again. I was told they had run out the day before. I wondered why they had not made more. Anyway, back to the lasagna. I asked if it contained meat (I wanted meat) and was told yes. I refuse to eat veal from humatarian reasons, and was told there was no veal in it, although, it will prevent me from trying their meatballs. I was puzzled as to why, when I placed an order to go, I was not asked if I wanted the lasagna hot or cold. I had expected them to give me one of the pieces in the deli case, and I'd be on my way. Instead, I waited over 10 Min. And received it hot. This turned out to be the worst lasagna I've ever had. Stoffers is better. The gravy was not a gravy, it tasted more like they just shredded canned tomatoes and called it a day. There were no spices, and it had a raw, canned flavor. There was no cheese, except for the slab on the top. I did want to eat enough that I didn't have to fix something else, so I searched for the meat, which was very hard to find. I literally could not eat this. What a waste of $12. I've also had the chicken Marsala (rubber) and the pasta pomodoro (bland, tasteless). The pizza is ok,but again, the sauce is bland and canned tasting. It's great that they deliver, but with only one giant sized pizza option available, it's not really an option for just 1 or 2 people. I'm sorry, but I'll never get to taste the artichoke as I won't be going back.
