Como At The Airport

The portions here are enormous, but unfortunately, the food lacks flavor and freshness. My partner ordered manicotti, and it was evident that the filling consisted mainly of 80% breadcrumbs, resembling a cheese loaf rather than a proper dish. The sauce was underseasoned, and the bread served to us was stale. The croutons on my salad were also quite stale, and the mozzarella was low-quality pre-shredded cheese with an anti-caking agent—definitely not acceptable for an Italian restaurant. The highlight of our meal was the ginger ale. This might just be the worst Italian food we’ve ever experienced. I suggest they cut down on portion sizes and focus on using quality ingredients rather than relying on fillers.

To start, I have to say the bread and salads were fantastic, as was the service. Unfortunately, the main dishes did not live up to expectations. I ordered the Fettuccini Alfredo with chicken, but it arrived lukewarm, dry, and appeared to have been sitting out for a while. My wife ordered the Lasagna and while she was adding hot sauce to it, I noticed she looked unhappy with her meal. She said it was cold in the middle and had a texture more akin to a firm piece of quiche, as if it had been frozen or refrigerated for days. She then pointed out that our daughter's angel hair pasta was also overcooked and harder than it should have been. My aunt chimed in, saying her $30 turkey dinner was terrible as well. At that point, I suggested we leave and find somewhere else to eat. We hadn’t planned to say anything until an older gentleman approached us to ask how everything was and if we wanted boxes to take our food to go. We politely declined, and when he asked why, I took the opportunity to share our concerns with him. Unfortunately, he responded with denial and excuses. I told him not to worry about it and that we just wanted the check. I suggested he could either comp the bill and we would tip the waitress, or he could let us pay, and he might read about our experience on Yelp the next day. In the end, he chose not to comp the bill. I’m not certain what they deducted, but our final bill was about $50, which we tipped on and promptly left. It’s safe to say we won’t be returning!

Old school Italian, food is awesome and service is fantastic. Don't miss the Italian cookies next door at the Como Deli

I've been coming to the Como since I was a child. And as an adult I've visited the deli often. Of all the food there my favorite treat was the bow tie cookies. They have been a favorite of mine for decades. Recently I stopped in to buy a dozen. Upon arriving home I opened the box and found what appeared to be only a few. The size of the cookies have gotten much smaller. A dozen used to fill the box, now you're lucky if it fills it half way. The recipe seems totally different as well. Thick, chewy, no longer light and airy. All things change I guess. ;

I came here with my grandchildren, because I was here 40 years ago. Not much changed from the decor to the food. Food still excellent and staff were accommodating and friendly. Glad I returned.
