Don't eat baby cows? What is the difference between eating the baby cow, the young steer, a young pig, or a 6 week old chicken? That is what they are raised for and make up most of our food.

When I was giving lectures at the National Zoo in Wash. DC about farm animals, some people would comment that the best thing to be would be a dairy cow. Probably that is the worst for a quality of life for the cow.

I agree

To add my $0.02, we went on Christmas Day and the food was cold, there was no flavor in anything and the service was non-existent. We won't go back.

Locally?? After trying just about everyone, for gooooooooooooood Veal, I've found that Carabbba's comes close to tender veal, and they pan fry it in olive oil. I ask for veal parmesian (even though its not on menu) and its very good. (Once in a while I got a chewy piece) Tried Vic Embers one time, but it wasn't that good, even though the rest of their food is fantastic. I think the best area to try is an upscale restaurant in Orlando area. I ordered center cut, (from the leg) veal on Amazon @ 27.00 for 6 oz, and it was awful. (Never again)

We have been to Luigino's 3 times. I usually give a place that many times before I give them a review. NEVER again! Service stunk, and the manager was an idiot who could care less about us. I can't understand how they are still in business. I give them 6 more months before people wise up.

First off we had a 6 p.m. reservation we arrived early & were seated ten minutes early which was nice.Within 5 minutes of being seated we ordered an appetizer & drinks which were served promptly.From there it went downhill fast.Ten minutes after we finished our bruschetta ,which was very good, we had to wave our waiter over to take our entree order.The Mrs. ordered lasagna with a salad I ordered veal parm with a cup of soup.We waited and waited watching our server go in & out of the kitchen many times when finally he came over about 15 minutes later apologizing that our food hadn't come out that there was a mix up in the kitchen & would we like another salad & some more bread.Another? More? We never had any bread ,my wifes salad & my soup were never served.Finally the salad & soup came & the waiter had to ask what our entree order was again because of the mix up.At 7:05 an hour & 15 minutes after we were seated our food came out only it wasn't veal parm it was chicken.While waiting for our food I had asked to speak with the manager.I was told he was very busy & would be over as soon as he could.When the food was wrong we got up & headed for the door.The hostess asked us what the problem was & I told her all of the above at which point she didn't even apologize so we left hungry.The only good thing is i ended up with ice cream at Kilwins for my dinner! Needless to say we won't be going back to Luiginos! The manager never came over!

Our party of 8 had reservations on Saturday evening. The restaurant was only half full, yet the service was horrible, and none of us would return after our disastrous evening which was almost 3 hours long. After getting our drink orders 30 minutes after seating, we were ready to order; the waiter said he would be right back. 15 minutes later he returned with water, served to half the table, then started shouting across the restaurant to another server, put the tray down, and returned to finish 15 minutes later. Twice we said we were ready to order and he said he would be back. One of our guests went to talk with the Manger and he walked away; she approached him again and he said he would take care of it. He offered a round of drinks to 5 of us, and left. Our waiter returned to take orders and commented, "I guess I'm not fast enough. I'll take the orders, but someone else will finish." After 2 1/2 hours, we were finally served our food (by the same waiter). One guest resorted to pizza as they had run out of veal; it was served burned - but after waiting over 21/2 hours for food, he opted not to wait for another to be baked. The bread was hard, stale, and cold; we asked for fresh bread and it was served hard, stale, and warm. Only one guest enjoyed his meal. This was a first-time visit for 6 at the table and all agreed that the food, service, and attitudes of the staff and manager rated the restaurant a D-.

Another word of support, Bosoxfan.

He was "taking it personally"? How was he supposed to take it?

Luigino's does have a terrific outdoor bar. It is open from 11am until closing at 10 or 12pm. The drinks are very simply priced like $2.50 for a big draft beer or $3 for a large wine.

The bartenders know how to make customers feel important. Mike is excellent as is Emmie.

Enjoy the sliders of chicken parm, italian sausage & peppers, or meatball for only $6 for two large ones.

As a lifelong Yankee's fan, this is going to be hard for me to say but ... I agree completely with you. Who honestly can't tell the difference between veal and chicken just because it is covered in some delicious sauce/gravy topped off with parmesean? I love veal in almost any recipe but at different times I prefer it served differently. I like it served in all of the other fashions described here as well.

Back on topic, thanks for the feedback about the restaurant.

How is this place still in business?
