Went from one of my favorites to not even able to get a simple order correct. Such a shame

Gino’s Café owner Gino Billeci is one helluva nice dude. His restaurant catered a work event for me not too long ago, and he personally came out for a meet-n-greet beforehand. After our introduction, I realized he was right up the road from where I work so I made it a point to stop in for lunch. I’ve done so now on numerous occasions, and I’m rarely disappointed. Most weekdays the lunch hour is pretty tame. But on Fridays in particular, it can get bat$#&% crazy. Service takes a huge hit, since there is only one poor server all by her lonesome. The past few Fridays, she has had to handle about six or seven tables at once in addition to manning the cash register up front and any walk-ins/to-go orders. On top of that, she has to bus her own tables! Hire some more, help, Gino! This place truly is an «Italian-style diner». I mean, I don’t know how else to put it. And it’s certainly not a put-down. How many Italian restaurants do you know that open at 7:00 a.m. and serve BREAKFAST? So yes, in addition to all the Italian classics, Gino’s serves up omelets and Belgian waffles in the morning and burgers and club sandwiches for lunch. Personally I have no idea why anyone would go to an Italian restaurant and order a burger, but hey, the option is there. Food-wise, the pasta sauce is on the sweeter side, the pasta is cooked perfectly, the pizza slices are HUGE, the Italian subs have a bit too much filler(lettuce) and not enough meats, and the breaded mushrooms are, well, breaded mushrooms.
