Worst Service Ever

by vipmelis

It doesn't even deserve 1 star! My boyfriend and I went there for Valentine's Day. He had called on Friday to make the reservation. When we got there they didn't have our reservation on the list but the hostess said she would add us anyways. My sister's sister in law also made reservations, completely separate from us and when they got there they didn't have their reservation either! They were a party of 6 and the hostess said they would add them also. That party of 6 got sat before my boyfriend and I! Then no server came to either of our tables for a while. Matt was our server and he was great but my sister's server was just ok. My mashed potatoes were cold and my "honey glazed carrots" were green beans! How do you run out of the special? When Rita was approached about the service and the hair in the food she just said "well did you tell anyone?" Duh we are telling you now! She never appologized or anything! We will never go there again!

Best Bolognese sauce within 250 miles.

by JoeCorona

My first time at Grimaldi's. I met Rita who graciously accepted my request for a "dry" Rigatoni Bolognese dish which was prepared flawlessly. I have been looking for ten years for a decent local Italian restaurant that doesn't overpower their Italian dishes with excessive ingredients such as garlic and parsley. While I haven't experienced other dishes yet, Grimaldi's will become a regular on my restaurant list. I have been to Italy several times and can compare their Bolognese dish to those in Italy, which is very rare indeed. I will go back and try the Osso Buco, Veal Milanese and have asked Rita to search out a "Parpadelle con Porcini" which she says she will have her chef follow up on as soon as he can.

• Pros: Parking accessability

Great atmosphere and service It is where the Orangemen go to eat

The SU Class of 66 with Dave Bing were eating there the night I went. Great Food, the red sauce on the seafood appetizer was exceptional with a good kick. Veal milanese was on a bed of greens and cooked perfectly. House salad was good. Long time family has been in the business for years.

• Pros: Atmosphere Service Quality and value of food
• Cons: none
