"Sorry, this is long and detailed. We are extremely disappointed that we picked Canali's Italian Restaurant to celebrate our daughter's birthday. Once we were seated, we enjoyed the amazing bread! Unfortunately, after that the evening went downhill.It's an Italian restaurant that doesn't carry Italian beer. It was very busy, and service was slow, but that was ok because wewere not in any rush. We ordered Fried Calamari as an appetizer and as soon as it was delivered to our table, we realized it wasbasic frozen calamari rings tossed into a deep fryer and not FRESH Calamari as we expected from an Italian restaurant. Myhusband ordered Linguini Louisa w/white clam sauce. He asked what type of clams they used, and was told baby clams, so heordered that dish and asked for it to be served al dente. When his meal arrived the waitress immediately apologized, telling himthey goofed up in the kitchen and gave him spaghetti by accident and it was not al dente. She offered him a replacement meal ifthat wasn't acceptable to him, but he didn't want to have to wait for a whole new meal to be prepared and he is NOT one tocomplain, so he said it was fine and he would eat it over the spaghetti BUT the real problem was once he tasted it, he couldtell they were not FRESH clams and was completely disappointed they used canned clams. My 90 yr. old mother ordered the GarlicVeal Cutlet and although the veal had good flavor, it was quite literally drowning in the butter/sherry sauce. She actually usedseveral napkins to soak up some of the excessive amount of oil on her plate. When we told the waitress she just said she wouldtell the owner. The birthday girl ordered Louisa's Fettuccine Alfredo w/chicken and her sister ordered Tortellini Alfredo bothportions were large but tasted very bland. My friend ordered Chicken Marsala which is usually her favorite dish from her manyvisits to Canali's but tonight although the flavor was tasty her pasta was not al dente and was over cooked a"
