    Great Italian restaurant with a large selection of items satisfy your cravings. Love their fried mozzarella as an appetizer! We had a party of four and everyone enjoyed their entree selections. Highly recommend you give Al Fresco a try.

    Al Fresco never disappoints. The food and service are always first class, which is why I frequent this restaurant several times each year. Best value for your money on the Peninsula.

    My husband had the penne and it was a bit bland. I had the chicken cashew special and it was a bit soggy from the sauce but tasted ok. The server was very sweet and gracious since it took forever to get our food because they served a big party before they got to us. Might try again to try something different.
