Al's Luigi's Italian Restaurant — Restaurant in Gainesville

Lets start saying that I'm Italian, in the area because my job. So I know pretty well what Italian food and cuisine are... Went to this place for dinner 'cause it's pretty close to the hotel where I'm lodging; ordered the "Shrimps and veal a la casa" featured in the Special section of the menu. The menu states that would be served on top of spaghetti pasta instead it comes with penne pasta abundantly overcooked... never heard about cooking pasta "al dente...???".

The only thing that was slightly edible was the cheese ravioli, lasagne, and manicotti but it all tasted the exact same. I ended up feeding the majority of the food to my dogs, I guess they ate well tonight…. 100 dollars worth of trash Italian food. (The dogs didn’t even want the...

I could understand that the economy in this state of Texas and in all the United States has gone down the drain, But what happened my friend luigi, the quality has deteriorated and the calamari star, even though we had been going to this place for a year, I trusted in eating the usual quality, we live in an hour and 15 minutes away from anna texas. I went with the whole family, they charged an additional 10 dollars to put some shrimp on a calzone, total price 22 dollars plus taxes and tip. I ordered a veal scallopini. It was a horrible soup plate, the piece of lamb was 2 inches by 2 inches. Dear friend although I recognize that you have years of excellent cheef, today you left much...
