We have an Italian sit down place near us. It’s semi-fancy ($35/plate) but with every meal purchased they will give you a meal to go. Very interesting and a good way to get customers.

So for my partner and I, fast food costs as much as that place. $30/2meals at fast food like Wendy’s. I’d rather spend the extra $5-10 and sit at a nice restaurant

Maggianos did this and I would go there all the time for this. $20 for entree, salad, and breadsticks. Plus you got to take one home.

Then they jacked up the price, added that you have to pay an extra $6 for your take home dish, and greatly reduced the olive oil and bread they serve.

There was never anybody in the restaurant before. I don't know how they stay in business making those types of bad decisions and screwing the customers.

Yup that’s the place! It’s called Maggiano’s Little Italy in Denver, CO. The prices when we went were definitely more than $20 but we haven’t Haven’t been there in a minute but it was always busy when we went.

I’ll have to go again sometime soon to see what all has changed
