I haven&#8217;t had really good Lasagna since mom cooked it for me when I was a wee lad. As my 50th birthday drew near, the wife decided to track down that best lasagna in town. A simple question on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/680246212729587\">Support Frisco Restaurants<\/a> garnered 100s of comments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When it was all said and done a list of the best lasagna was created.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I decided to track the reviews of each on here on my unread blog &#8211; instead of creating numerous posts over and over on Facebook and then trying to figure out how to share them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>A disclaimer<\/strong> &#8211; I&#8217;m not the foremost authority on lasagna. This is just my personal opinion, tastes, and stuff like that. I mean no ill will toward any of the places I&#8217;ve currently tried or will try. If I don&#8217;t like the dish from a specific spot &#8211; do not take it personally. I could be the only one in the world who has a different take on it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, I might throw in a few comments on experience, services, or the general atmosphere. While some of these comments might be negative &#8211; it had no impact on my review of the lasagna. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"720\" height=\"960\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bonesnap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/lasagna_rankings.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2127\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bonesnap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/lasagna_rankings.png 720w, https:\/\/www.bonesnap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/lasagna_rankings-225x300.png 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is the &#8216;list&#8217;. I didn&#8217;t create the list. However, I did create the rating scale which goes from 1 to 5. We tried to places on my birthday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Taverna Rossa<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I ranked it as a 2 out of 5. Now, 2 sound bad but it&#8217;s not. There are places that are not even on the list. So a 2 isn&#8217;t bad. The lasagna was a bit unique because it used brisket. While I&#8217;m not a stickler for tradition, the brisket was a bit &#8216;weird&#8217;. The flavor of the lasagna was just &#8216;ok&#8217; but nothing out of the ordinary. It lacked in spices and was a bit too soupy. With a little bit of modification, this lasagna could have been an easy 4-5.  The service was great, the place was clean, and the drinks were fantastic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ferrari&#8217;s Italian Villa in Addison<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I ranked it as a 2 out of 5.  This lasagna has me totally confused. The &#8216;mama&#8217;s meat sauce&#8217; (which I giggle at) looked like a tomato-cream style sauce. I&#8217;d never seen any like that before. The flavor was so familiar to me but I couldn&#8217;t place it. Then my son tried it and said &#8211; &#8220;omg that tastes just like chef Boyardee&#8221;.  And he was right! Now, for you people out there who might rail me &#8211; the whole family loves chef Boyardee. While it might have tasted like it &#8211; I know it was not that. Like Taverna Rossa, their lasagna was just ok. I really couldn&#8217;t taste any meat and it was soupy also.  It could have used a little more spice to help it out. Sadly, while the place was a nice place, our service was really slow. No one should have to wait 15-20 minutes to actually pay and leave a restaurant. The other food the family ordered was awesome! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I like Lasagna.
