I ordered online for curbside pickup as curbside was an option. Once I got to the restaurant, I called requesting my curbside pickup. I was then informed that they do not offer curbside pickup. Why would you offer it online if it’s not an option? Fine. I went inside and got my order. Got home and opened my order. I ordered baked spicy sausage rigatoni and lasagna. Both small portions. Supposed to feed 3-4 people according to their website. I opened it and the small lasagna was half filled. I called and spoke to manager FRANK. FRANK was rude and condescending. He immediately went into defense mode. Explaining to me that “that’s the small portion. You received the right size. We just put it in that pan for to go orders. Have you dined with us before? Then you know that’s the right portion” Why would you put it in a big pan that is supposed to fit a large portion? If that is the true size then it should be in the appropriate sized pan. This is what I told FRANK. FRANK absolutely refused to give me his last name after I asked several times for it. He even told me to “go ahead and complain, maam. I can offer you a dessert” I explained that I had my son’s high school football game and that I couldn’t come back for a dessert” He kept arguing the pan size again and ounces blah, blah, blah. Still refusing to give me his last name. Then he told me that I was argumentative and that he was trying to help me and that he could offer me different compensation. Oh yeah FRANK? Why didn’t you say that to begin with? It was only after I asked for your name that you decided to offer me different compensation. $25 credit to use on my next visit. I will not return even with this credit. I understand that is your portion size. Fine. But to not even apologize for anything and accuse me of being argumentative only after I asked for your last name is uncalled for. No wonder you only have 3 stars on YELP.
