The waiter was good and friendly. The food was mediocre. Salad had too much dressing, and the lettuce was soggy. I did not like the sauce ony pasta . Too runny! Two of my friends had chicken picata, and both said it was better at Coopers Hawk. I won't return .

March 27 2024I made reservations for 14 people for our friend's 70th Birthday at Aliessa Restaurant the day before.When we all got there we were all disappointed as they had 2 separate tables set up for us.I asked if we could have the 2 tables put together and it was a firm NO! Needless to say, this was VERY disappointing to have this special Birthday party split up. There was a party of 12 or more set up near us and their table was set up all together...the Management did not even try to accommodate us the same way.On the other hand....Mathew, our waiter made up for this great disappointment. Mathew was 100% trying to see if he could accommodate us....but to no avail.Mathew was very professional, kind and very attentive to all of us. He worked hard to make 2 separate tables happy. His awesome personality made our evening.The food was good, BUT Mathew's professional service made this place worth staying.If you ever go there...make sure you make it clear that it is for a party and that you do not want your party separated....we all wanted to get together and that's what we expected.Thank you Mathew for your awesomeness in serving all of us under these unfavorable circumstances.M.

The food was BLAND and portion size was puny for the ravioli. I feel like we got ripped off. $82 down the drain.Why is this place so popular? Who would return? Is there something in the local drinking water? I pity Alessias repeat customers.

Came here for dinner last week, and was pretty underwhelmed. We had Calimari as an appetizer, chicken tortellini, chicken picata, and Veal. The squid was like chewing on a tire. Overcooked. The chicken in the tortellini was somehow dry and crumbly even though it was in a sauce. Can't say of the chicken picata or veal, but the veal resembled a flipper. Maybe we got a new guy for a server too. It just all felt forced. I've heard good reviews of this place. Maybe we came on an off night.
This is our new favorite date night spot! The food and service is always 10/10

Delicious and authentic Italian food. Large wine selection. And staff is kind and knowledgeable of the food selection.
