Uno changes menu yet again

No one can accuse Uno Chicago Grill of standing pat. The chain, that has restaurants across Upstate New York and elsewhere around the nation, revamped its entire menu just a few weeks ago. Now it has rolled out a line of limited time offers (LTOs) at all 145 locations.

The Massachusetts chain that initially made its name with a Chicago-style deep dish pizza, is bringing back its Cheeseburger Deep Dish, which was introduced four summers ago. It is made with hamburger, cheddar and mozzarella cheeses, plum tomatoes, caramelized onions, ketchup, mustard and a dill pickle. It is priced at $11.29 for an individual pie and $18.99 for a regular.

Also on the summer menu:

  • Lobster and shrimp scampi: Sauteed in a light white wine sauce served on vermicelli with Parmesan cheese. An appetizer portion is $9.99, a main course $18.29.
  • Lobster melt: Melted cheddar on lobster meat with mayonnaise and scallions, served on a stirato roll, which is similar to ciabatta but with a harder crust. Price: $18.79.
  • Spinach salad: Tossed with watermelon, blueberries, red onion, goat cheese, basil and fat-free vinaigrette for $10.
  • Shrimp tikka masala: Shrimp in a sauce of tomato, cream, onion, ginger, garlic, cumin, cardamom, tamarind, cilantro and lemon, served with a whole grain farro dish that Uno introduced earlier this year as part of its new line of small plates. Cooked, tossed with diced plum tomatoes, cucumber and balsamic vinegar and served cold. It is priced at $9.99.
