"So, Italian Cafe was one of our favorites up until just now. They’ve changed their menu pricing and now don’t offer side salads with entrees COMBINED with higher prices. One of our favorite things about Italian Cafe is that it’s a whole meal for one price. Good food, reasonable price, salad and garlic knots included. Well, I don’t know if it’s because of supply chain issues or inflation or both, but they’ve decided that now a side salad is an additional $4.50 instead of increasing their entire menu prices by a percentage to compensate for losses. Not only that, but as of right now, June 11, 2022, their website is under construction so that you can’t see the changes, the restaurant doesn’t even have printed menus with the new changes, the online ordering apps HAVE BEEN updated though with the new ‘salads not included’ pricing, as well as a super limited menu. Lasagna is NOT on the DoorDash menu, as well as any veal dishes and seafood except salmon. Who has an Italian restaurant and doesn’t offer lasagna or baked pasta like manicotti, stuffed shells, RAVIOLI for delivery? We had to call the restaurant to order what we typically do through the app, PLUS an extra $13.50 for side salads because they are no longer included (as a side note, on the DoorDash menu, you can choose to order your side Caesar for $4.50 or $5.50 depending on where you select it). We absolutely LOVE the food here, but I do not appreciating the handling of this business transition to recoup costs. We all understand having to change with the times, but keep your original business model in place and offer complete meals for a reasonable cost and your full menu for delivery options."
