Tesoro

Have you ever eaten at a Days Inn? Neither had I, until we came upon Tesoro, which is actually a quite elegent restaurant hidden behind the facade of this inner-city chain motel...(I know, weird.).

The first disappointment came when we looked at the menu only to find that the prices were not the same as the prices published on the website. Still, we ordered the chicken parm along with Rob's usual white pizza.

But, to our dismay, the wrong pizza landed on our table, and the CP was served cold. Upon our request to heat it up, the chef decided to flop it onto a tray, MICROWAVE it, and put it back on the plate so as to create a soggy, chewy mess of dielectrically radiated chicken parm.

Had we not asked for the cp to be reheated, I am confident it could have tasted pretty good, though slightly tepid. So might Tesoro have the potential to produce a decent CP? Sure, but "an Italian treasure" Tesoro is certainly not.
