The restaurant was a great place to have dinner and be able to hold conversations at your table. Other restaurants are too loud and noisy. Server was very good and attentive. Everyone who had pasta dishes loved them. The spaghetti and meatballs had the latest meatballs I’ve ever seen. I had short ribs with polenta and brussel sprouts. I thought the brussel sprouts would be served along side of short ribs. They were drowning in the sauce of the meal. The polenta was hard to find. Meal was ok.

Service was great! Would like fried fish back on the menu. We ordered the burger. It was great! I’d prefer a different bun but still the best burger out there. The drink Italian sunset was fantastic.

Food was excellent as well as the service. Everyone is always nice and pleasant. Food is always great. You should have a senior menu Or allow old people to order off the child’s menu. We can’t eat the amount we used to be able to and a lot of food gets wasted.

Have eaten at Grand Ticino a few times, more at lunch than dinner. Dinner last night was a disaster, to say the least. We started with a Caesar salad, and it was good as usual, but nothing went right after that. My wife ordered a cheeseburger, and it arrived without cheese; she sent it back, and it returned a few minutes later with cheese but cold fries. I ordered the lasagna, and the dish I was presented with had lasagna noodles with a very acidic red sauce and pieces of chopped-up meatballs scattered around the bowl; it did not resemble any lasagna I have ever made or eaten anywhere. A staff member asked how my dish was, and I gave him an honest response. The gentleman insisted on preparing me another dish, and I asked for the spaghetti Bolognese. And guess what, a bowl of skinny pasta noodles (something smaller than spaghetti), drowned in the same acidic red sauce with three large, poorly prepared meatballs, was presented to me. I took two bites, pushed the dish aside, and asked for our check, which included the full price for the food I could not eat. No further follow-up from anyone on the staff, although it is evident that the food was unsatisfactory. The worst dining experience I have endured in a very long time. WILL NOT GO BACK

The food quality and service level have consistently dropped over the past few years. Hope they can figure it out.
