Newport News Restaurant Guide

On Father's Day my family and I had dinner at Luigi's Italian Restaurant. We decided to go here because I had a $25.00 discount coupon from a company called Restaurant.Com and it was about to expire. Luigi's has an agreement with Restaurant.Com to promote their business and issue discount coupons for a fee to the customer. The coupons list restrictions, but does not restrict Father's Day or any holiday. When I tried to pay my bill the owner refused to honor my coupon because it was a holiday. He said if had to work Father's Day he wanted to be paid in full for his work. In his defense, there is an 'owner's escape clause' listed under the terms and conditions of the discount coupon that says the issuing restaurant credit is at the sole discretion of the merchant. But I say, if you plan to use it.... post a sign, don't give me the Father's Day (BS) excuse. The food isn’t very good either.

The sauce (gravy, in my world) was very good. The lasagna had too much mozzerella, as if they were trying to hide the small serving of lasagna. The pizza would have been better if it had fresh mushrooms instead of canned. The check arrived with no individual prices or a total on it and we were told it would be done at the register. While at the register, the phone rang and we were given no explanation as to why it had no total. The girl at the register could have told us or the person on the phone to wait a minute whle she helped another customer.
