I haven't had Gino's East in years, but this was a good opportunity to try it again. Given a choice, I'll take Lou's and Uno's first. I guess that does make it third rate.
I took advantage of the recent Carson's groupon and it was mediocre. The ribs were decent and worth what I paid for them (half price) and I would go again with another Groupon, but not otherwise.
I hope Gino's East isn't just as big a disappointment.
