We have visited this trattoria many times. Over this time the food quality has remained at very high level. Service is excellent. The restaurant is inside a small house-like setting with three floors. Recently they raised the prices. The prices are quite high. The food was excellent. We had seafood chicken as well as other wonderful pasta dishes. I particularly liked the chicken cacciatore which was just enough spicy for my taste. All in all it is a great experience if you can pay the high prices

Visiting and went to eat here with my husband - WOW! I am a big foodie and this place was phenomenal. We got the garlic bread with marina, yum. Husband got the chicken piccata which was delicious, the sauce .. we were taking the bread to soak up the sauce! I got the sausage and peppers, the perfect amount of spicy. 10/10. Then got the turofa (or something like that) and it was the best dessert! Highly recommend

This charming trattoria came onto my radar, driven by a craving for Veal Saltimbocca and I was not disappointed! I called ahead to make a reservation and I was seated at my reservation time. The Veal Saltimbocca tasted like it came straight from a traditional Italian kitchen. It was tender, fresh and flavorful, served in a generous portion.
I'm not much of a drinker, but the Margarita Italiano with Limoncello was the best Margarita I've ever tasted and was served in a large glass! Service was excellent from my initial phone call to make the reservation through the end of my visit. I am looking forward to eating my leftovers tomorrow. I would come here again for the same meal, without hesitation.

Trattoria Alberto is a great spot for dinner. The pasta is fresh and delicious, and the sauces have just the right flavor. The little dining room feels cozy, and the staff are super friendly - they treat you like family. I already canāt wait to go back!
Went for a group celebration dinner. It was delicious. Great service, nice atmosphere, and delicious food. The calamari was spectacular. We really enjoyed the seafood pasta and chicken Parmesan entrees.
The food is amazing one of my favorite places to go to

The environment was enjoyable- the upstairs seating was private, but the downstairs was quite busy. The service was great- the servers were attentive and helpful. The food was delicious- it did take a while though to get our meal. The wait was worth it though. I ordered the fettuccine alfredo and it was fantastic.

A one star review is rare from me. Please look at the many other reviews Iāve left if you donāt believe me.
The first strike against them happened before I even arrived. My grandpa, who lives in Florida, got a gift certificate for $100. I didnāt have a physical certificate as I had never been to the restaurant and he was in Florida. He was double charged ($200). After over a month, we thought it was rectified and we had two $100 gift certificates. We did not, we barely had the first one. I had to speak to at least three people to get the first gift certificate figured out.
The second strike is the food. Entrees are about $30. They are not worth $30. The chicken parm is adequate, the pasta was ridiculously overcooked. I can make better pasta when Iām half asleep. An early warning was the cold bread from a grocery store and butter we started with.
The final and worst part of the visit was what we heard. My husband, who is Hispanic, overheard some of the waitstaff. Normally I wouldnāt think anything of it. After dinner, he told me that one of them said ālater I have to deal with that *gay slur*ā itās hard to believe it was not about us, the only homosexual couple in the restaurant. Even if it was about someone else, this is NEVER appropriate language in a customer facing situation.
I am frustrated and disappointed. I like to give even mediocre restaurants a second chance, but Iām not sure I will.
