Upscale yet comfortable like a warm Italian home. Alberto picked us the perfect red wine. Best Caesar salad I’ve ever had. Incredible lobster ravioli and amazing tiramisu. A very special place!

Great place! Food is excellent and true homestyle Italian. Not noisy, just relaxed and great service from Alberto. Had lasagna and pizza and both were fantastic. Love a personal restaurant like this with good eats.

Oh my God!!! Want to take a trip to Italy without the plane ride? Go to Alberto’s!!! The ambience is like being in Italy. The food was incredible and Alberto was there to make sure that everything is Perfecto! And it was! From the caprese salad to the meatballs, shrimp cocktail and the housemade ravioli!!!! To finish the dinner a wonderful cappacinno and tiramisu!! It was magic! Bravo Alberto! We will be back! Prices are great and I am definitely going to be back! My husband and I loved it all! Cozy and romantic. Great for our date night!

A very odd dining experience. While the food, ambiance and wine were wonderful and so worth the trip, the wait staff was very disappointing. We arrived for a confirmed reservation and were told they did not have it on the books but if we waited we could have a table shortly. The owner took our order and was very charming but the rest of the waitstaff was rude [would not tell us which dish she was serving, failed to give food to every member of our party and became angry when we asked for this meal, started clearing the table while we were still eating, including removing napkins and silverware, never offered dessert or coffee). All of this occurred by 8:15 on a Saturday night when they basically forced us out. Not sure what is going on here. Will try again but be warned this was not a welcoming place right now.

I don’t often give a bad review, but this was bad. I had the eggplant parmigiana special. The eggplant was mushy and not much of it. Smothered in cheese and that was all you could taste. My friend had chicken parmigiana, overcook and they don’t serve pasta as a side. I have never had chicken parmigiana without pasta anywhere. There were only two other tables occupied and they put us next to another table. The room was almost empty so why would they do that. Won’t be back.

Absolutely amazing. Genuine authentic Italian food. Amazing bread, wine and entrees. The green pepper sauce with my steak was absolutely amazing and worth coming back for. The atmosphere was also pristine. This place is the definition of a hidden gem.

Food was absolutely amazing but the service was horrible. We arrived at 7:20pm and were rushed to order drinks, appetizers, and entrees immediately because “they were closing soon”. I asked what time closing is, they replied 9pm! I asked for a minute to order and the owner said he’ll wait while I looked through the menu, so he stood at our table and waited. It was so weird and we felt like we were inconveniencing them by being there even though there were only two other tables taken (at 7:30pm on a Thursday). I highly discourage any young couples from coming here. The older couple were treated like royalty with free drinks and desserts so if you’re older, head on down

Terrible experience. My husband ordered the bronzino and it was so full of bones it was inedible. The table next to us took note of my husband struggling to eat his dinner and watched him constantly pulling bones out of his mouth. They then asked the owner about ordering the fish and he assured it had no bones. It was disgusting. We also ordered the “special” which was lobster ravioli and it literally tasted like the frozen ravioli you find in the grocery store. Hard, stale bread. The biggest insult was when the bill came. The owner overcharged for the bronzino, $38 menu price to $49, never mentioned it, and then when questioned he stated he gave him the whole fish versus the filet as ordered. He had no remorse, no care that he did not enjoy the dish, and did not even offer to reduce the price back to it’s listed price. Diner beware.
