Tony's Italian Kitchen — Restaurant in Englewood

Let's talk about how filthy this place is. I've never seen any restaurant this bad before in my life. There are cobwebs everywhere, hanging over the kitchen where they make your food, and dust an inch thick on everything. The owner hasn't cleaned this place in probably 10 or more years. Not only does the owner not care about cleanliness, but he's also rude, cheap, and horrible with customers. I've ordered food there in the past and purchased their bread with marinara as an appetizer during the last two visits. Last night, I ordered it again and noticed they didn’t give me the marinara, so I told the girl. She took it back and went to the kitchen to get it, then told me I only get the marinara if I eat it here; if not, it’s an extra $2.50. I told her that every time I’ve ordered it, it has come with it. She said I could talk to the owner if I wanted, and I said sure. So the owner comes out, and I explained the situation to him about how I’ve always received marinara when I ordered it, and he tells me I didn’t. I said, "You think I’m lying about it?" and he calls me a liar. So I said, "Okay, hold one second," and I called my girlfriend on speaker and asked her about the last two times we ordered the bread, what came with it. She says marinara. I asked why, and I said because the owner said we were liars. So after I hung up, I said, "So are we both lying?" He said, "Yeah." We’ve spent hundreds of dollars at a time in this place when we have family in town. We did a birthday party a couple of weeks ago there and dropped $260, and this is how this guy treats loyal customers. He could have said they might have done it by mistake but that there is a charge of $2.50 if you get it to go for future reference and just given it to me. But we will never spend another penny in this place, and I see a hundred or so people a day that come through my business, and I will let them know what a filthy place it is and how rude the owner is to...

Got takeout, which we ordered in person at the restaurant, as most times when we try to call they're so busy we either any get through, or they just don't (can't?) answer the phone. I ordered sample platter (#1 I believe, with lasagna, stuffed shells, etc) and partner ordered the ravioli I believe. Food is very good, however you can tell they put these together at one time & heat up when ordered. Have ordered this dish many times & has never been an issue in flavor & taste, and as they're a small(ish) mom & pop type restaurant, I'm not going to stop going because they do this, as long as the flavors are there & it's not 'bad' I'm happy. I will say, however, I've ordered their Alfredo noodles with chicken once, and my partner ordered ice on another visit. I will never order that again, as it seems they make the sauce with what seems to be that dried powdered parmesan cheese you'd put on spaghetti or something instead of fresh parmesan, or something, it's very dry and grainy, not a smooth sauce.... HOWEVER, that's the same reason my partner ordered it. He likes 'dry' things, and I do not, and he seemed to enjoy it, whereas I prefer my Alfredo more creamy, so, that may be more of a taste preference. Either way food is pretty good & service (at least for ordering & check out) hasalways been friendly & nice. We've not eaten in yet, as they're always so busy but we'll definitely continue to be...

This place was awful, I ordered takeout here yesterday and was appalled at the way I was treated. I got the chicken Alfredo, it was not good. When I say it was not good, I'm not talking about my preference either, I mean, the food simply made me gag because something was not right with it. The chicken was not freshly made and tasted like it was freezer burnt and then boiled, the food smelled so weird when I took the top off of it, the Alfredo sauce was grainy as if the cheese, butter, and cream wasn't mixed together well. They also didn't give my to-go salad to me. I tried to call 3 times, no answer. So I drove 15 minutes all the way back to get a refund (mind you, I paid $17 for my food) I returned WITH the un-eaten dish, the manager said that "I don't believe anything is wrong with the food. You must have just not liked it. I've made these all day, and you're the first to complain, and that's your opinion" he then proceeded to walk away with the food, I had asked him for a refund and he REFUSED to give me one or offer a replacement dish even (I don't even think I would've gotten it even if he had) he was EXTREMELY rude towards me about the meal. I can not believe that this restaurant has the reviews it does. Everything about this place was awful and I don't recommend ANYONE eat there, I wouldn't even have my worst...
