We had been traveling in heavy traffic, and googled for eats off the highwayâItalian sounded great, so we were lead here.Overall, it seemed like a quaint area go-to place, a little like a well-kept local secret. The ample parking lot lead to the main entrance which had seating outside if we wished. Once inside, the main room ahead had a large bar with seats surrounding. We were warmly welcomed and led to the dining room in back. As advertised, the cuisine was Italian with starters, soups, sandwiches, pizzas, pasta dishes and more ample meat entrees â overall, the variety was decent with a varied selection to choose from. Not terribly familiar with the area, I would say that the prices seemed a little high on the pasta dishes and the larger/main entrées â â they did come with a small side salad however the pastas ranged $15-$17 for an average sized plate. The steak or larger meat dishes ranged from $25-$30 a plate, which again seemed a little high for what would appear to be a very casual neighborhood place.We started with cheesy garlic bread which was very tasty. The mains followed; I chose the pesto pasta (I picked linguine)With grilled chicken â â unfortunately, the basil was a little bitter and the chicken without flavor. I recognized the fact that it was obviously homemade, however the taste just didnât do it for me. My daughter had the penne alla vodka which was acceptable, a little too heavy on the tomato versus the cream but she ate it. My son ate almost all of his penne carbonara â â he had asked for no peas or onions, which obviously would have tainted the dish, however these were added despite his request. He easily picked them out and enjoyed what was left.Our waitress Tracy deserves special mentionâShe was extremely friendly and helpful, brought the dishes out with the smile and genuinely seem disappointed that I hadnât enjoyed my meal. She first offered something else in its stead, however I didnât really need anything else at that point. When she presented the bill, she pointed out that she had removed the charge for my dish and was sincerely apologetic. The place was busy with lots of parties celebrating occasions, so perhaps they were just a little off. Iâd give it another try just for itâs relaxing air and itâs friendly vibe

My elderly Mom wanted a "nice bowl of spaghetti with sauce" so I checked Trip Advisor and found this nice restaurant. It was around 5:15 pm on a Saturday, we were greeted by the wonderful hostess Grace and seated right away. Open space with high ceilings and lots of famous Hollywood stars framed photos all around. Clean and comfortable with booths or tables.Our server Sue was very pleasant and efficient. Took our orders and brought over a bread basket with crusty Italian and wonderful garlic twist rolls. Our salads were crisp and fresh and the meals were giant! Mom's spaghetti bowl with marinara fed her for 3 more days. As did my eggplant parm which was also giagantic 9 x 5! It was 6 layers of lightly breaded eggplant topped with cheese and that wonderful marinara and capellini. SO delish!We were too full for dessert, but took home two cannoli's that were fabulous!A definite restaurant to go to with family & friends. They have a extensive menu, wine/beer/cocktail list and plenty of parking. By the time we left the restaurant was packed! Best of all, my Mom loved it!

I have had great experiences with Albertoâs. This family owned and operated restaurant is an absolute go to for Italian dishes and pizza. The bread is excellent and so if the dinner/side salad. The House Italian dressing is great. A home base restaurant for me.

I had Gamberi Amalfi-Jumbo shrimp, carmelized pineapple, basil spaghetti,lemon cello reduction and sun-dried tomato relish. It sounded like a unique combination. It was amazing...so delicious!! One of the best meals I have had in any restaurant. The staff were very friendly, from our host and gentleman who seated us as well as our waiter and bus boy and girl. They made us feel very welcomed. We had a choice to sit in the garden room or inside. We chose inside which was very pleasant. I wish we lived closer, so we could go again.My husband had veal Ossobuco Milanese. This was amazing as well...delicious!!

Went here with my boyfriend on Valentineâs Day, of all days, and there was a considerable wait, but I cannot determine if that is the norm, since it was a dining-out holiday. We were seated at a reasonable waiting time, and our waitress was Roseland Hall of Fame waitress, as her picture was hanging on the walls around us, and she was wonderful. We went for the full-on seafood pizza, and man alive, it did not disappoint. The seafood on the pizza was premier - lovely plump pieces of lobster and shrimp, red sauce, and a great crust. The atmosphere was very friendly and homey, and I witnessed 3 different tables interacting with one another, seemingly not knowing each other, and sharing good since the portions were huge. Thatâs the kind of thing that lets me know a place is as friendly as you would imagine, as a local or visitor. It was a pleasure visiting, and I look forward to returning to try their other signature dishes and pizzas.

I went there with my wife and some friends for dinner. Our group was 5 people. We all had different dishes. My dinner was clams and pasta. I have clams often, but this dinner was different. The clams were smaller then I usually get, but there were lots of them and plenty of pasta. But It was extremely tasty and very large. There was enough for a full dinner at home the next day.

Ate here with a business colleague tonight.We split the 3 Small Plates as an appetizer: Prosciutto, Meatballs & Steamed Clams. All very good and woudl do again.For mains, colleague had the Lasagna which he thought was OK but next time would try something else. I had the Filet of Sole which was fantastic and I'd order again without hesitation.Will do again the next time in this area.
