Stupid Anonymous!
Wow, anonymous, you completely missed the point of this place! Italian-American food has a duty to it's customer base, and that is the prevention of complete jerks from becoming regulars!
I am a chef and unaffiliated with Grande's. In my experience in the resteraunt business it is gratifying to see that it is possible to cook and entertain over the head of a mongoloid like yourself.
You see, the chef is the one who should decide what is best for you. It's true!
The sauce at Grande's is not "tomato sauce with crushed plumb tomatoes", although these are, undeniably, some of the ingredients. This is a fresh tasting sauce, not cooked for more than 90 minutes (I can tell from the onions, you philistine, so don't ask!) which is supposed to impart more than the flavor of stupid tomatos! The fresh parsley, garlic and hint of parmesan cheese open the pallet to the star ingredients of the dish, or the entre with which it is served. I know, because I just finished my leftovers from last night.
You talk about the "bimbo" that served you. Aaah yes, we all hate what we can't have.
You talk about "home made veal". What the hell is that? Did you see a livestock pen in the parking lot? To my mind, you yourself are a veal!
And what kind of a boring milquetoast orders spaghetti with meat sauce in order to judge a resteraunt? This is what kills chefs. We can do so many amazing and wonderfull things with food that it breaks our hearts when some shitheel orders the most boring thing on the menu and then wonders why he wasn't impressed.
So, good. I'm glad you won't be eating there. That will free up some space at the bar, which is classy, dark (like it should be), and creates an ambiance which is obviously foriegn to you.
Ille discratse!

Don't Let This Happen to You!
Sunday, 8/5/07. I arrrived at the restaurant at 5PM to meet a friend for dinner. The front door was propped open. Entering the restaurant was not pleasant. There was a musty odor and the air conditioning was not on. There was no one to greet me or seat me since the two young inexperienced waitresses were busy chatting in the cocktail lounge. I requested that the AC be turned on. It was. I was seated with a menu. My friend arrived was seated without a menu. He had to request one. The waitress arrived and I requested a vodka and tonic. She left to place the order in the bar and returned to inform me that liquor was not served on Sunday. Why couldn't she have told me that initially? We stuck to basics. My friend ordered Veal Parmigana (came with a side of spagetti). I ordered spaghetti (menu said "homemade" on the menu) with meat sauce. The salad bowl arrived with iceberg--not Romaine lettuce--with the usual Italian style addeded extras. House dressing was Italian and appeared homemade. My "spaghetti" arrived. Instead on spaghetti I was served linguini drenched in tomato sauce with crushed plumb tomatoes--no meat in the meat sauce. The sauce was unimpressive. I told the waitress that I ordered meat sauce. The bimbo that served me said, "Well you have to request meatballs if you want meat...!" Dah! My friend's Veal Parmigana with spaghetti seemed adequate and the veal was made from scratch. My advise to the management: school your staff on when liquor is and is not served, advise them to explain to customers what your idea of meat sauce is, and school the kitchen staff on the difference between "spaghetti" and "linguini." Although I live in the neighborhood and it would be convenient for me to patronize this place and I think I'll file and forget this one!!

Great Italian food!
Fantaastic fresh bread with herb butter - no foil butter pats at this place! The food is very good, flavorful - I always order the homemade pasta.
Service has been consistent, friendly. Parking is excellent. Love this place.
