"2016-08-08T00:00:00"^^ . . . "Went to Maggiano's South Park for dinner yesterday w/husband & 2 kids. Had never been to this particular site, but had been to few Maggiano's in Southern California before. \nMy experience yesterday was less than \"meh\"! First of all, we walk in & it was freezing in the restaurant, like really unpleasantly freezing! \nMy husband & I both ordered the Italian side salad to start- a lot of white lettuce, 4 thick red onion slices, and 2 tiny olives.....really! Disappointed!\nI also ordered the Italian sausage& pasta soup ( to warm me up b/c it was still freezing cold inside). The pasta was still hard , and had no flavor- no hint of a veggie anywhere either! Disappointment #2.\nMy husband ordered the Salmon Salad, and kept finding little \"hard things\" - not bones- but something else , in his salad. (Later on, when we got home, about 45 mins after eating, my husband got violently ill - my daughter also said her tummy felt bad too!). Disappointment #3.\n\nMy son ordered a kids pepperoni pizza - what he was served was a flatbread with sauce, a few pepperoni, and a ton of parmesan cheese on top- that's not a Kid's Pepperoni Pizza! Needless to say, my son refused to eat it, or have anything else!\n\nMy daughter had the kids spaghetti & giant meatball. she loves pasta, but hated this- she said the meatball \"tasted funny\", and wouldn't take another bite. I tried the meatball, and it did taste \"off\"- like it was not fresh, or made with something odd...can't really describe it, just wasn't a meatball like you'd expect. Her pasta okay, though.\n\nOverall, I would Not recommend this restaurant. I was really disappointed!"^^ . . "0"^^ . "0"^^ . "0"^^ . "1"^^ .
