I love Fazoli's for the "Fast Italian food" as advertised. However, this location is fantastic. Everything is always clean and well stocked in my experience. The manager Karen went the extra mile in giving me a free bonus (surprise) at the drive thru window! It really made my day, and this is not the first time that Karen has acted like an all-star in making sure guests are happy and taken care of. The rest of the staff is also very professional, always bringing breadsticks around in a timely manner. I have loved Fazoli's food since I was a kid, and this franchise doesn't disappoint. Thanks again, Karen! read more

I visited for lunch on 5/28/18. It was amazing - so much better than I expected. I ordered the Lunch-pick 2 with spaghetti/meat sauce and Ravioli, which came with a drink and bread sticks. All for only $5.00. The food was hot and fresh and delivered to my table fairly quickly. The portions were generous with plenty of meat sauce. They brought around additional bread sticks. The restaurant was exceptionally clean and the employees very nice and helpful. Best of all, the price was unbeatable. It's no wonder the place was pretty full, even on a holiday.

The meals came out with a family style salad, which included neat toppings such as beets. The rolls doused in cooked garlic might be some of my favorite bread from any restaurant.

My mom ordered the same dish but with chicken. Literally could not tell the difference between the chicken and veal. While the sauce tasted fine it's not a good idea to dowse a breaded meat in sauce because they were extremely soggy. I probably wouldn't order the veal again. I enjoyed how the meat sauce for the spaghetti had parsley in it - made it taste different from other bolognese. However, the meatballs, though large, were dry and bland as all get out.

Cozy, romantic, intimate and completely my kind of atmosphere. Unfortunately, the food didn't live up to the setting for us. We both had water, so I can't speak to the wine or cocktail selection. My fiancé ordered the lasagna, and I ordered the rigatoni with basil. I'll admit I didn't realize the rigatoni was literally pasta with oil and basil no marinara, no cheese, just a LOT of basil. And when I say a lot...I mean a lot. Neither of us really enjoyed our entrées, although we did eat them halfway. The salad was a disappointment. The lettuce seemed old and was extremely limp, and the chickpeas were soggy and tasted like they had been sitting in the dressing for quite a while. Nothing tasted particularly fresh. Overall, I'd give Altruda's 2.5 stars. The atmosphere alone makes me want to love this place because it is SO my vibe, but ultimately I'm going to a restaurant for the food, and ours just didn't hit. Maybe we ordered the wrong things, but based on this visit, I loved where I was sitting a whole lot more than what I was eating.
