| - I was craving the famous Stancato's salad bar the other day, so I convinced my family to take the drive out to Parma. We knew nothing about the huge renovation project, so we were definitely surprised when we pulled up, but we were reassured by the "open during renovation" sign so we went in. One of us made a comment like, "welcome to Beruit, how may I help you" as we walked in, hoping that it was just the building's exterior was under renovation.
When we got inside we were saddened to see that the whole dining area, INCLUDING THE SALAD BAR, was gone...gutted and awaiting a complete makeover! We strolled into the bar area, saw a fun and crowded group, but were about to head out, in search of a full dining experience, when the bartender (who we later found out was the owner) came flying out from behind the bar to clean off a table and welcome us. I am certain that he has seen initial reactions like ours many times in the recent past, and he knew exactly how to help us! I mentioned that we were looking forward to the salad bar and he assured us that they would make us "delicious salads" with our entrees! He told us that, despite all of the work out front, the kitchen was intact and we'd get the same great food that we loved.
Wow, was he ever right!
Our server was absolutely delightful and the meals were fantastic. The owner had been right about the salads, as they allowed us each to pick from their many great salad choices (mine had strawberries and almonds) to compliment our meals.
Personally, I had been looking forward to the many great breads on the salad bar, so I was overjoyed when our server brought us an abundant tray of delicious heated and seasoned rolls, with a fantastic red sauce for dipping!
We could not have been more satisfied with any part of our dining experience! Even the other servers who ran our food were completely attentive! They filled our drinks and completely pre-bussed our table, instead of just dropping the food and running, as has become so common elsewhere lately.
The entrees (Chicken Scallopine, Lasagna and Ravioli) were fantastic and the portions were large (I just finished my leftovers for lunch!).
We will definitely be back soon, and we highly advise you to give this place a chance during renovation, because they deserve it.
My only regret from that night was that I didn't get a chance to shake the owner's hand and thank him for convincing us to stay!
