Gino’s Restaurant And Pizzeria.

Gino’s used to be one of our favorite places to go. But today will be our last trip. The waitress was miserable. We asked what kind of wine they had and we’re told «red or white». They had bottles of different kinds of wine on the counter but I guess it was too much for her to look into it for us. At this point we just got cokes. My soup had a hair in it and the entrees were just okay
We asked for bread and got 3 pieces, one of which looked like a bite was taken out of it. We just got the feeling that they didn’t care anymore. Too bad.

Sorry to say this restaurant doesn’t even deserve 1 star. Unfortunately the best part of the meal was the wine and the bread. Don’t know about the pizza but as for dinners do not do it the dinners are horrible.

I wish I could give no or negative stars.
First, we’ve bought pizza by the slice there for lunch with unusual (for the area) and tasty toppings in the past. The pizza was good. We’d also looked at their dinner menu, thinking that we’d try Gino’s for dinner one day.
That day came — it was a horrible mistake.
My husband and I went early (a little before 6 pm) on a Saturday night. For most of our dining time, there were two waitresses, two other dining parties (other than my husband and me), both of which were served shortly after we were seated, and people drifting in to pick up their take-​out pizza orders.
The waitress took our orders for an appetizer (garlic knots, which should have already been prepared and only needed warming) and our entrees, promptly.
It took the server FOREVER to bring out our appetizer order, and only then did she let us know one of our entrées was not available. We accepted a similar entrée as a substitution.
I asked for a glass of red wine. It was brought out promptly; warm in a warm glass. When I asked for a glass of ice (I didn’t say why) to at least cool my wine, I got it — in a waxed paper cup.
Our entrées finally arrived: Chicken Masala (a basic dish to prepare for an Italian restaurant) and Calamari in White Sauce (white sauce, another basic, the calamari though, a bit riskier what with the possibility of over-​cooking).
The Calamari in White Sauce was about a dozen pieces of rubbery squid tube over linguine bathed in a tasteless, watery broth. I say tasteless, but that’s not quite true. It had a slightly fishy taste. There was no taste of garlic, butter, olive oil, salt or any other seasoning that I could discern.
The Chicken Masala was a generously sized chicken breast that had been pan browned on both sides, accompanied by some (a quarter of a cup, maybe) sliced mushrooms (canned?) over pasta. It wasn’t my entrée, so I don’t have too many details, other than my husband had the same complaint I did. The food was tasteless, poorly sauced and seasoned.
We ate only a few bites. When the server asked the obligatory, «How is everything?» we told her EXACTLY how everything was. When she offered to return the dishes to the kitchen to have them redone, we chose not to. It made no sense, especially in light of her excuse for the poor quality of the food — which was that the regular cook was on vacation. (Here’s some advice… if you don’t have a competent cook to carry the restaurant while your real cook is on vacation, CLOSE IT! Don’t punish unsuspecting customers.) When she offered to have the cook make us something else, we declined. We had already been there 45 minutes, we were still hungry, we weren’t happy (to say the least), and we had no faith we were going to get ANYTHING worth eating other than pizza. We didn’t want pizza. We had the server take our entrées away and asked for the check.
When the check came, it was for the full price of the two entrées, as well as the appetizer. The server had, generously, not charged us for my glass of wine. Could we have made a scene and had the entrées taken off our bill? Probably. We didn’t, though. Instead, we paid and left. Why? Because, for me, this review is worth a hell of a lot more than the money we wasted at Gino’s…

The wife and i stopped in one day during a snow storm and had a plate of wings and antipasto salad. Good food and friendly staff, typical small town.
