Manzella's Italian Patio
Champaign, IL
Terrible Food
I really don’t see how this place manages to get anything close to a good review. The pastas come RIGHT out of a box (the kind you can get for a $1.00 from Walmart) and the red sauces are from generic cans with maybe a slight bit of oregano and basil added. NONE of their pastas are made from scratch and are MICROWAVED before being served since they are precooked Anyone who has any experience with food knows when a dish is microwaved. It comes out steaming and loses it’s temperature in a few minutes, which is EXACTLY what happens. With the kind of prices that are on the menu, this place deserves zero stars. They must be joking asking the kind of prices for the items on their menu. Even the “Olive Garden” has more quality and better tasting food with much less ridiculous prices. Don’t even get me started on the decor…if you want to dine in a place that smells like a greasy dirty old grungy restaurant then go right ahead. Terrible service, food, price & decor make this place completely and utterly disastrous.
