In the showcase window stood a sign proclaiming that if you dine there on your birthday, your meal is free. Timing being everything, I missed by two days. We went in regardless.
Three or four college age servers were awaiting us as we entered, all clad in the traditional black bottom, white top Italian restaurant attire. We were seated immediately.
The restaurant hides it's size well. Dimly lit and subdivided, a large dining area became very intimate. Along the back wall of our section were private tables for two, complete with curtains that could be drawn for privacy. Down the corridor from our table were other rooms and a banquet area, where a local high school was having a cheerleader dinner.
We all ordered our food, and everyone got something different. Phyllis got the Vegetable Lasagna, Beth got the Chicken and Broccoli Fettuccine, Ward got the Eggplant Parmigiana, and I got Chicken Parmigiana. All meals were under $15, and nobody was dissatisfied. The servings were large and tasty. We got an abundant supply of garlic rolls (with oil), and our glasses stayed full.
All in all, the service was good, the food was great, and the atmosphere was authentic Italian. I very much enjoyed myself, and got away paying less than $80 for four adult evening meals.
Provino's is a chain, but don't let that stop you. This was a good experience as a family, and would be a fine environment for a date. Keep in mind, too, that their lunch menu is about $3 a plate cheaper than the dinner menu.
