Marcus and Greg were awesome, honestly everything was perfect. Location next to the water and the food very authentic was great.

Handled our party of 11 with ease. The meatballs, 4 cheese and margherita pizzas, and amarone wine were all outstanding. Wish we could have eaten here twice!

Service was unbelievably bad despite the automatic 18% gratuity for a large party (Seven people). Our server almost never checked in and when he did he knocked over my halfway full beer and didn’t offer to replace it. Food was good but it took way too long without any warning. Tiramisu seemed to be store bought. They were not crowded at all, we got the vibe that they just didn’t care because they knew they were going to get the 18%.

We really enjoyed our meal here. Pizza, spaghetti marinara, and the special; manicotti. Everything was super delicious! The view from the patio was lovely, and our server was very personable. In fact all the servers seemed pleasant and worked together as it was a very busy night.The only reason I didn’t give five stars is because it took and hour to get our meal. It was Easter Monday and apparently they only had one person in the kitchen. We were told it would be slow.We will definitely be coming back!

We had a large group and the owner Stella provided us with a great dining experience and a five course meal. All the food was delicious followed by a tasty Tiramisu.

From the experience we had yesterday we think that this restaurant is not deserving the past recensions - most likely strategically motivated (look at the names, the date and the strange style in wich these "reviews" were written). Our reservation was professionally delt with, our waiter was friendly and motivated and the food was clearly the best italian dish we experienced so far on our 3 weeks stay in the Clearwater area. I am often in different regions of Italy and not only our food but as well the plates carried to other tables were looking absolutely comparable to what you experience there. The seating outside at the water is adding to that good experience. We really can not imagine how these last recesions were coming about. We only can recommend not to get influenced by this tendentious waffeling. You would miss a good opportunity for a great evening and delicious food.

I recently had the displeasure of dining at Al and Stella Authentic Italian Restaurant And Pizzeria (Water Front), and I must say, it was a complete disaster. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with an atmosphere of chaos and incompetence.The service was abysmal, with wait times that could rival a snail's pace. I waited a staggering two hours for my food to arrive, only to be met with disappointment. It's evident that the management, particularly Stella (the lady with long blond hair), has no clue how to run a restaurant efficiently.The food itself was lackluster at best, with flavors that were as bland as the service. It's clear that Al and Stella's idea of "authentic Italian cuisine" is nothing more than a sad imitation.Save yourself the time and frustration, and steer clear of this establishment. With terrible service and even worse management, Al and Stella Authentic Italian Restaurant And Pizzeria (Water Front) is a dining experience you'll want to forget.
I had the unfortunate experience of dining at Al and Stella Authentic Italian Restaurant And Pizzeria (Water Front), and it was nothing short of disappointing. The service was atrocious, with wait times stretching to an unbearable two hours for our food to arrive. To make matters worse, the management, particularly Stella with her long blond hair, seemed completely incompetent and uninterested in addressing our concerns. Save yourself the headache and avoid this establishment at all costs.

My husband and I decided to try this place out while in the area this past weekend. The wait for our food was long, we never received bread, the water had a funny taste, and my fish was extremely dry. Very disappointing and overall wouldn’t
