Tucci's is a waste of time

This last weekend was my little brother’s birthday. The big 20. As always my grandmother invited us all out for a birthday dinner. Each year she chooses a new place to go and each year the experience varies from excellent (the Country Club) to Poor (Rino's). This year ranked up there in terribleness. We all met at Tuccis in the old Trolly corners building. Now this wasn’t my first time here. Actually I had been there many times although not since the hay day of the center when the theaters were thriving. Now its a 24 hour fitness. Not exactly the kind of business to pump up sales at the local Italian eatery and trust me, it shows. They have let that place go. When we were first seated the table was set for 8. Now this was no 8 top table though. It was more like a 6 top set for 8. It was two small two top tables pushed together. The kicker was that both tables were different sizes so the person in the middle got to eat on about a 3-inch variation. When we politely asked to be reseated they acted like we were the assholes. Then they seated us in the middle of the front section at a table where the chairs were maybe 6 inches off the ground. I felt like a little kid. I mean that literally my plate was no more than 8 inches from the bottom of my chin. The came the service. Our waitress brought us some bread and then followed with drink orders and water at least ten minutes after. When our food finally came, apx 30 minutes later, it was separated by about 5 minutes per 2 people. So my grandpa had to wait maybe 10 minutes from when I got food to when he got his. Now I can’t speak to what everyone else ordered but as far as my dinner went it was terrible. I had Chicken Fettuccini. What I got was either turkey or pre-steamed chicken from a can. It was disgusting. I tell you what when I pay $15 for fettuccini with chicken it better be made to order chicken freshly cooked. Not from a can. All in All it was by far the worst Italian food I've ever had. Even Spaghetti factory makes Tuccis look bad. If you know what’s good for you you'll stay far away from this place.
