Dom Caruso’s Cucina
More of the same and a little bit less. Dom Caruso’s was disappointing.
The menu looks like any other traditional Italian American menu of usuals; spaghetti and meatballs, lasagna, chicken parmigiana. This place replaced Bona, and kept the menu along with some staff. I love the server lady who has been there for 20 years. Hey girl!
“The soap in the dispenser was different from what the label said it was. Weird, but not as weird as how a stale crouton could be even more stale.”
The oily garlic knots were not a great start.
We both… OOPS, I mean, just me alone, chose two Caesar salads to start. Cesar-inspired? Ceaser-ish? No anchovies? Just sad. Caesar dressing is served on the side in a little plastic cup. The croutons were like dental roulette… with textures from rock-hard, little leather chunks, to packing peanuts dipped in gorilla glue. …
I ordered the carbonara which I knew was high-risk, and the veal parmesan because I am but one person, and I hate baby cows. The food came out fast… too fast. My pasta was cooked fine but the sauce was a gummy mess. Smokey bacon AND onions?

Not going back. I wanted to weep when I got the check.
