I've never been to Gino's, LV, or Ruffinos and not spent ~100$/head. I usually order a fish special of some sort though so I supposed you could go for less. Those types of places just don't appeal to me. I can go to Digiullios for about 70$/head which seems about right.

Seems like Diguillios may be more expensive?

Caprese or house salad - LV $14, Ruff $14, DB $13

Meatballs - LV $19, Ruff $16, DB $22

Veal Parm - LV $25, Ruff $27, DB $33

9oz Filet - LV $45, Ruff $42, DB $52


Couldn't compare fish prices as DB has market price.

The entrees at DB come w/ a salad.

And steaks also come w/ a side of pasta or grilled vegetables.

And honestly, I wouldn't go to DB either if not for the nostalgia/atmosphere.

Digiulios entrees come with a salad. Their portions are also bigger. Ruffinos is always hit or miss with me.

We did have dinner at Ruffinos last week and it was good. Had the bbq shrimp pasta. Simple but did hit the spot.

I dont go to LV

Their Italian food has always been bad but now it’s terrible. Gloopy cream sauces, watery red sauce, chicken dishes have no seasoning. And their marsala is terrible.

That place is bread, steaks, and specials only.

Not sure why American Italian food is so hard for people and restaurants to do well.


Honorable mention to Gino’s : they have the worst veal Marsala I’ve ever had. Tasted like Heinz gravy in a jar.

I've never been let down by the ribeye at LV so I stick it it usually. I've always felt like it's a good value and pretty sure they're serving prime steaks

The bread is the only good thing about the place.

Got lasagna to go. Ate it tonight. Flavor wasn't much better than Stauffers.


I mean. What did you expect with leftovers?

Lasagna should be just as good if not better leftover. It’s not a “gentle” food. It’s noodles layered with meat and cheese and sauce.
