And what exactly is Fazoli's?

Signor V.

Here SV.

We went there pretty often when we lived in VA. But, we don't have any around here.

First time I ever heard of the place. None around here either.

Hi Angela Marie. I knew that name sounded familiar. There is not one in my city, but there is one not too far from me. Is the food good? I'll try to check it out one day.

Do any of you guys have The Macaroni Grill or a Claim Jumper in your city?

I liked the food there. But then again I like Outback and Olive Garden.

There is a Macaroni Grill not to far from me over in New Jersey, but I've never eaten there.

I think that in the New York City vicinity there are more authentic Italian restaurants than in most other parts of the country. So a lot of these Italian chain restaurants do not even bother opening up within the city limits and the outer boroughs.

Never. There isn't one in my area. We had a Buca di Beppo for awhile, which I loved (and preferred to the Olive Garden), but never a Fazolis.

My Daugher has eaten at Buca di Beppo. There isn't one in my area, but either L.A. or Orange County may have one. She loved it.

PS, I forget that when talking "Italian" restaurants that nothing beats NYC. Bear with those of us who are used to 2nd best.

On the link if you click on locations it gives you a map of states they are located.

Actually TIS, I would say that Las Vegas is right up there these days with New York restaurant wise.

I even still, often times, think about Carmines when I first visited NYC. Course after course....delicious!!! Absolutely wonderful!!

No Fazolis in the UK....but if there was i would go!

Rarely. I haven't ate there since I was in high school. I usually go to CiCi's Pizza

I hate Fazoli's

It's a crappy "Italian" chain that none of you are missing out on if you don't have one. It's not even like an Olive Garden, It's sort of an Italian McDonalds, but it doesn't taste good.

I'd rather go to a local restaurant, or at least Buca Di Beppo.

Ya gotta be kiddin', right??

Its as genuine an Eye-talian place as Olive Garden.... it has egg noodles and ketchup and they call it "spaghetti".

Maybe that's where Henry Hill ate when he entered the witness protection program.

Plus you get people coming in and asking, "How's the food in this Eye-talian restaurant?" I always tell them to try the veal.

It's the worse in the city.

But it has a piece of parmiagiana cheese and ketchup on it - its Eye-talian!!

Only Italian restaurants I have eaten at are Olive Gardens and a local one called Brother's. I have no idea if they are anywhere close to authentic.

Like TIS said some of us have to settlefor second best or 3rd best.

Anybody in the south heard of or eat at CiCi's Pizza? It's Mexican made pizza (don't kid yourselves that it's Italian food). But the price is hard to beat and to get an all you can eat buffet and drink for under $7, I'm there

We have Cici's here. No, it doesn't just serve mexican pizza nor does it appear to be mexican made (whatever that means). It serves all kinds of pizza. It's typical fast food pizza.

CiCi's is good, especially for the price. Lot of weird varieties. I've been to one in AL, and I am sure there's one not too far away but I haven't been here.

I regularly go to Cici's. $5 = eat whatever, including dessert

BTW, I was disappointed to know that it is pronounced "SeeSee" rather than "CheeChee", the way the GF character's name is pronounced

God, they can't even pronounce the Italian correctly??? Ci in Italian is DEFINITELY pronounced "chee".

I like Cici's.

In my opinion, the best Italian Restaurant that I've ever eaten at in New York City is IL GIGLIO'S on Warren Street.

Good point. I always correct people when they pronounce it the other way. But in its commeercials, they pronounce it "see".
