I always love the food at Al Fresco, especially the entrees. I have never had a bad main dish here. I had the linguine pescatore. The scallops and shrimp were fresh succulent, delicious, and cooked perfectly in white wine and butter sauce, what's not to like. The mussels were cleaned well and tasty, but on the small side. The clams were tiny, so I really can't speak to their taste. Entree includes a fresh dinner salad dressed in oil and vinegar. Finally, we ordered the fried calamari appetizer. I would say save your money as they were very thin pieces, and while delicately fried, there was just very little to taste since the pieces were so thin. Perhaps some of the seafood in this dish were just out of season.
Wonderful food and service! It was a bit noisy, but everyone seemed to be having a good time!
Excellent Service and Great Food, as always. This is one of our favorite Italian Restaurants.
Food was delicious--chicken was so tender. They were happy to accommodate a special order request. Restaurant was busy but the service was still GREAT!
OVerall we had a lovely time. Service was excellent and our entrees were nicely prepared. They have a very good and reasonable wine list.
Al Fresco never disappoints! It is always delicious food and excellent service. Great value!
You just can't go wrong at this restaurant. The food is wonderful. Ronnie makes you feel like his family. The service is always top notch.
The service was excellent and the food was simply fabulous! Had never had the flounder al fresco and it was honestly one of the best dishes I've ever had.
Al Fresco is our favorite special meal place to go. Always welcoming, friendly, and attentive. We usually don't have a problem getting a table, but we always check to see if there's a show at Ferguson Center-- Al Fresco is a popular pre-show dining space.
As always, the food was excellent! The wine was excellent! And the overall experience was fabulous. It was my husband's birthday and that's his favorite place to a celebration.

The food and service was excellent. The atmosphere was quiet, quaint, and friendly. We will definitely be back!
The food was absolutely delicious! The ambiance of the restaurant was pleasing and the server did a wonderful job of making sure we had everything we needed. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone in the area. The food is exceptional and it deserves the high rating I saw on Open Table before reserving our dinner here!
We had a 7 pm reservation for a party of 7 and we arrived on time. They were very busy but we were seated immediately. But, every thing else was extremely slow. After 15 minutes we had to ask the hostess if we could have someone take our drink order. It was 1.5 hours after we arrived that we recieved our main dishes only after asking for an update and watching other tables that arrive after us get served. The waiter never expressed interest in making sure we informed of any delays. He didn't seem overwhelmed with an abundance of tables and we were the largest party he had. He just didn't seem to ensure we were enjoying our experience and while we wasn't rude, he wasn't personable. Not the experience we expected after the great reviews we read. The food, however, was well priced and very good.
We love this place since I want Italian and my husband wants seafood. They do both exceedingly well. The only downside was we chose a very busy evening but they did their best to accommodate everyone.
We had a great experience at Al Fresco. We came in early afternoon, and had outstanding food and service. Everything we ordered was fantastic. The ambience and environment was rustic, classy, and upscale.
