I ordered the ravioli parmigiana lunch special. It came with a side salad composed of iceberg lettuce, purple onion and two grape tomatoes. Its creamy peppercorn dressing was tasty. Scali bread, although chilled, had a light, pillowy texture and came with plenty of butter. My entrée was five oversized ravioli tucked under a blanket of mozzarella and a ladle of meat sauce. Regretfully, the ravioli were tough to cut and to chew; the sauce had little to no flavor.
Service was borderline inattentive, perhaps is the best descriptive. I don’t see myself returning to Greg’s Restaurant in the near future.
I am not a picky eater nor am I a picky diner or cheapskate. This was a HORRIBLE experience. I don’t know how this place is still in business. Almost laughable how bad this place is.
Upon entry it smells like urine / nursing home. No exaggeration. I thought perhaps it was a patron, nope..the smell extended into the regular dining area and persisted, disgusting.
Seats in booths are collapsed in with no cushion remaining.
Knife provided was excessively dirty – seemingly washed yet still covered in caked on food from a previous diner – impossible to miss. Gross.
The service was horrible, not rude, but slow to the point it was almost intentional (it was not busy nor were we in a rush). Finished app plates never cleared. New incoming dishes placed on top of them. Lack of side plates for all diners. Simple things totally disregarded.
We were never served our salads that were to accompany our meal.
The food itself was mediocre at best. Sauce average. Pasta below average. I expected a lot more from an establishment that claims to be in its fourth generation. Owners if you read this, shame on you for letting a multigenerational family business get to this point. The conditions themselves are inexcusable.
Overall was a combination of dirty, smelly, poor service and mediocre food quality led me to write this review immediately upon returning home.
Perhaps we had a poor server but that does not fix all the rest listed here.
I appreciate a “dive” but there is zero draw here.
Stay away, you will be disappointed. Will never be back.
