"We used to love The Fat Tomato Italian Bistro—it was our favorite spot to dine out since 2008. Back then, the daily soups were incredible, and you couldn’t go wrong with any dish. My kids would always look forward to dinner there. However, in recent years, prices have skyrocketed while portion sizes and quality have declined. But the biggest disappointment is that it’s no longer family-friendly. There is no kids’ menu, so when you bring children, they must order from the adult menu. They aren’t even allowed to have something simple like a slice of pizza as their entrée. My kids used to be excited about the grilled cheese and fries while we enjoyed a great meal. Now, there’s very little on the menu that appeals to them. Tonight was likely our last visit. We paid $18 for a calamari appetizer and were shocked to find less than a cup of calamari on the plate. It used to be a fantastic appetizer with double the amount at half the price—and better quality too. Both my young children ordered adult-sized pasta dishes, each costing $15, and barely touched their plates. No kids’ menu means they can’t share or order something smaller they enjoy. I’m sad that this marks the end of an era for us. I’ll miss the wonderful meals, the homemade soups we used to call about asking what the special was, the excellent homemade desserts, and the dishes that kept us coming back time and again. It was great while it lasted."
