Just had lunch there. We were seated right away and given water right away but after that, it seems like we were forgotten. It's no wonder - it seems there was only one waitress doing all the work. She was very attentive when she actually had time for us. I don't "blame" her one bit - for a place as popular as Uncle Sal's, it seems management should be aware of how many servers they need on staff. I dunno - maybe somebody called in sick.
At any rate - I got the chicken Scarpariello and it was outstanding. Wonderful flavor, expertly cooked. The "joint" was quaint and neighborly - I bet it has a great vibe at night. The decor was so very 30 years ago - which was awesome. It reminds me of the little places where the husband and wife are in the back cooking, all the kids are servers and the old grandma who only speaks Italian is in back stirring a pot of gravy. Sigh... memories...
Only people who truly appreciate what it means to eat at a family restaurant will "get" this place. It's sad that so many people hold Olive Garden or some other God-awful chain in such high regard as to grade everyone else according to that standard.
Good job, Uncle Sal's - you impressed me!
