Since this Provino’s in the only location open for weekday lunch in the Atlanta area I decided to make a long trip up here so that I would be able to get my birthday meal and still be able to do what I had planned later on in the day for my birthday.

When it was just me at the table and I told the waitress it was my birthday she seemed somewhat annoyed. What really seemed to put her off, though is when I requested for mozzarella cheese to be melted on my side of spaghetti even though there is parmesan cheese right on the table as she pointed out. I told her I would still like it, though if possible and mentioned that I wanted marinara sauce at least two times.

I was enjoying my salad and rolls, the main reason for my long trip, and when I got my food liked my chicken dish, however my spaghetti had meat sauce and I had a bit of it which made me feel pretty revolted since I never consume that. I had plenty of food, though so just set that aside and didn’t mention it at all even though that is the main motivator behind me writing my review.

This is a standard Provino’s it seems and tasted and looked like the other one I’ve been to numerous times which is nice, and while I know being a waiter has got to be rough it’s not necessarily my choice to be eating alone on my birthday. I tried to embrace it but if that was an aggravating factor in serving me then sorry I guess?

I’m not sure what the sauce thing was about or if it was even intentional but regardless I got my free meal and even ice cream dessert, I just felt like I was a bit unwanted here. It was still an enjoyable meal overall and I left a decent tip but probably won’t be driving that far out of my way again to return to this particular location.

We always have a good experience at this location. The food is delicious and the service is out standing!
