| - I hate to give bad reviews but truth be told, my experience last night was not good. I'm from Jersey, grew up in an Italian neighborhood and I'm used to good Italian food. My wife and I came for dinner last night. I wanted spaghetti and meatballs and she wanted something Gluten Free. I ordered the spaghetti with one meatball and one sausage with Bolognese sauce. My wife ordered the Marcos Holistic salad with grilled chicken. First bad sign, our food came out in like 5 minutes. Probably an exaggeration but pretty darn close. My spaghetti was hot but my wife's grilled chicken was cold. My meatball was overly salty and made with too much breadcrumbs. It also was not soft and not cooked in sauce. My sausage was not cooked fresh, but reheated on the stove or microwave. It was a bit hard and dry. I know it may take 20 minutes on the grill to cook fresh, but if you are paying $3.50 for one meatball and $3.50 for one sausage, it better be good. On a good note, the bolognese sauce was very good. My wife's salad was packed in a small bowl with the cold chicken on top. Again, not fresh but something probably made earlier in the day. That side was $5.00. You would think for a $13 salad, the chicken should be fresh and hot and the presentation a bit better. The only thing I will give Marco a pass on was it was late in the night. We came in around 8:00 pm, probably after the dinner rush. This seems to happen to good restaurants. They get good reviews and then rest on their laurels. Quality takes a back seat. Food starts getting reheated. Our meal, with a glass of house wine was over $50.00. All we had was spaghetti and a salad. For that price, the food better be epic.
