This was almost amusing. Went to Napolinos last night with another couple. I told the waitress I'd like chicken parm, with linguini and white clam sauce. She said it would be a $3 upcharge. I said ok. When it arrived 40 minutes later, the linguini was doused in a thick, white gravy...devoid of clams. When I pointed this out to the waitress, she said if I wanted clams in my clam sauce, I'd have to order it as a dinner. I actually laughed. First and last time for me there.

I’m one of those weirdos. I uniformly give 20% regardless of food/service. It’s normally not waitstaff, it’s the kitchen so why short them. The ultimate FU is not going back and telling friends/fam same. Plus the whole in your face tip shaming culture we live in....for a few extra bucks, I avoid getting ‘the look’!

Who eats linguine and clam sauce with chicken parmigiana?

I did not know

(I couldn't find a source for this on an official Florida webpage but multiple papers seem to pull from a single data source which leads me to believe it is the Health Department database)

Well that's the thing. It sounds to me like the waitress did the OP a favor. The sauce part of the clam sauce, right before the clams are added in. But yeah maybe it was alfredo, and not clam sauce at all. Which would make even more sense. She probably thought the OP was just really horribly confused, and meant alfredo sauce. Because it makes -zero- sense to pair white clam sauce with chicken parm.

I did not know that and it appears the State of Florida does not know that either. They were shut down for a few hours in February this year and one other time for a few hours in February 2023. Not good to be shut down at all, but not twice in just a few weeks and not even for an entire day.

So professional restaurant critics should all quit? I enjoy reading posts about the good and bad of local restaurants. If you own a business, you need to satisfy your customers and compete with other businesses or go out of business. What is wrong with transparency?

Some would say the same about surf and turf. If that’s what he likes, who are we to question his order

Thank you for this.
It appears said establishment hasn’t pled well with others!
Just for transparency, a ‘vacate’ disposition, is that like giving a donation to the policemen’s ball to avoid ...
you know what I mean! ;)
