My wife and I love Italian food and wanted to try something new and this restaurant did not disappoint. We showed up on a Saturday night and was seated quickly. Our waiter Manuel was very attentive and food came out fast. The food and drinks were very good. Definitely a great place for a date night. Highly recommend this restaurant for authentic Italian food.

This restaurant is amazing! The atmosphere is perfect, the people are super nice and pleasant, and the food is out of this world delicious! We got excellent service from Luis…ordered the fettuccine Alfredo and tortellini with meat. Also, fried calamari as an appetizer and tried the pomegranate martini. Everything was prepared perfectly and squeezed in canoli for dessert! This is my second time here while in town and will definitely be back. Five stars!

Trattoria Alberto is a wonderful Italian restaurant that offers a delightful dining experience for a satisfying dinner or a romantic date. We were enticed by their menu, particularly their selection of delectable desserts. The Ricotta & Pistachio Cake, Chocolate Mousse Pie, Tiramisu, and Tartufo were all great choices. However, what stood out the most was the presentation of the Tartufo.

Wanted to have some amazing carbs before I transition to over to whole 30. Came by this establishment but no reservations but was able to receive a seat immediately. Service was very quick. Appetizers as well as the meal came out quickly. Atmosphere is kind of dim. It could be a little tight I feel like a lot of the tables are really close to each other. There is no front desk person so you literally walk in and whoever sees you first helps you get arranged and seated. I would definitely recommend this place.

I went to this trattoria because it was in the neighborhood where I grew up. I had a very enjoyable conversation with Ernie Buruca, the bartender. Ernie is a very good Barcologist. For those that are not aware of what a Barcologist is, it’s a bartender/psychologist. I had a very pleasant conversation that went from drinks, children, adult children, politics and government. Ernie was on point the whole time. Great job Ernie. Now the food . The seafood linguine was outstanding. It had more than enough seafood to compliment the linguine. It was well prepared well seasoned. It’s rare that you get the good seafood – spice blend . It could be considered pricey by some, but remember you get what you pay for. It is well worth it. I ordered both white wine sauce and marinara. Both were great. I also ordered two additional entrees. All was to go. If you get your food and drive 20 miles and your food hasn’t dried out or gotten soggy, and is still wonderful, the you have found a gem. I will rate the other entrees later. I need a nap.

Definitely more of American Italian cuisine. We got the antipasto for a starter. Our main complaint about that was the cheese was just sliced cheese rolled up on the platter. I got the tortellini for dinner and my fiancé got the angel hair pasta with shrimp and scallops. Both were decent but the tortellini didn’t really have much flavor. We got the cappuccino cake for dessert which was good and paired well with the espresso martini.

The outside looks rundown but inside is a gem. The veal parmigiana is my absolute favorite thing to order. The service is great. The tiramisu and beef tortolini were not good.
