This was the first time we’d been to Alessandro’s since it was redone. Not for lack of interest; just a tough reservation to get! But it sure was worth the effort. The pace looks great, the service was as good as always and the food was better than I remembered. Best artichoke salad and chicken scarparella! Already can’t wait to go back. Bonus, Alessandro is the lost wonderful host. Always makes it a point to come say hi.

I have been to this restaurant several times and it never disappoints. The food was outstanding, and the service was impeccable. Our server, although very busy, was amazing. He truly went out of his way to make sure everything was great. I had the sizzling shrimp appetizer which was very different and made to perfection. My husband had the breaded chicken, and I had the ravioli both of which were excellent. While they had some interesting signature cocktails, it would have been nice, to add some holiday drinks and some old favorites like chocolate martinis. We are locals so having this amazing new and different restaurant is a bonus to our community.
