Soni's Italian - New Castle

My husband and I have eaten here many times but I assure you, we will eat there much less. I usually get the chicken parm, but request it with grilled chicken rather than fried. It's advertised at $14.95 on the menu, but charged $15.31. I got a side side salad for $1.95, an iced tea for $3.06 and they actually charged $2.95 because I requested grilled instead of fried. I thought that was ridiculous. They never brought any bread, I heard the waitress tell another customer that they were low on it, so apparently you had to request it or you weren't going to get it. Everything on the menu has an upcharge in case you use a card to pay, so you don't really get a discount for cash, you just get the menu price. I'll go back to Chuck Tanners. No hidden prices there and the salad and bread come with the meal. Very disappointed.

I was in from out of town and my sister recommended Soni’s. Of the four weeks I was in the area, we ate there three times. Very tasty food! Parking: Very spacious and close to entry.

I feel this place has gone downhill. They increased prices while decreasing portion sizes and no longer including a salad or soup. The last time we ate here, my companions meals came out 30 minutes before mine. By the time they were done eating mine finally came. I asked for some compensation and was only given 10% off! That seemed really unfair to me.

The service was excellent and the food was tasty. However, I wasn’t fond of the 3% service charge for using a debit card—who really uses cash these days? Additionally, we weren’t fans of the Christian music and commercials playing on XM satellite.

We ordered takeout consisting of two chicken salads, a Turkey club flatbread, and a side salad. When placing the order, we were asked if we wanted the flatbread in half or whole, and I chose half. However, when we got home, the flatbread was enormous, cut into five large pieces. It seemed like more than enough for one person and could easily have fed three. It was quite expensive at $18.95. Additionally, the chicken salad had only about six French fries on it, which was disappointing.
