Fazoli’s

I love the food, very filling. Definitely Americanized Italian but I still enjoy it. My only complaint is that they advertise free unlimited breadsticks yet every time I go I only get the one on my plate. Only once have I ever seen anyone walking around with a basket of breadsticks and tongs offering more breadsticks to customers. I think you should hire someone just for that job. I always hear customers around me complaining about having to go get them themselves. Get baskets and put 5 in them and put them on the customers table.

Ah, Fazoli’s, where road warrior meets sit-​down Italian food. We were met by a smiling staff and a squeaky-​clean restaurant. After looking over the specials and regular options, we made our selections, paid, and filled our cups from the Coca-​Cola Freestyle machine.
It turned out that we had ordered three variations on the same theme, all selecting a different way of making the 2 for $ 5 lunch special. We had side salad, fettuccine alfredo, pasta with marinara, and lasagna all represented. The side salad was actually quite substantial, a generous portion of lettuce topped with tomatoes, soft white cheese, and your choice of salad dressing. All three of the pastas were cooked just right, at the happy middle between firm and floppy. Each of the pasta sauces was also well made, and all three pastas were served at a nice warm temperature. And we certainly wouldn’t want to forget about those unlimited hot cheesy-​garlic breadsticks!
As an added bonus, a computer error had been made, which resulted in two of one of our meals being made. Instead of throwing the food away as so many restaurants would, they offered it to us free of charge, and we were happy to accept it.
All in all, a tasty, satisfying meal with a rather attractive pricetag.
P. S.: A word to the wise; it may behoove you to get your food to go and sit out behind the store. There are picnic tables with parasols right next to their very own patch of the Mississippi. You can always run back inside for drink refills.
