Alessandro's Italian Cafe Pizzeria

This was my first time eating here and my overall impression was just okay. The focaccia and fried zucchini were delicious, but the stromboli was lacking in flavor. The service was also very slow. We received lunch menus, but later discovered that we were being charged dinner prices because it was the weekend. This unexpected pricing was disappointing.

The Sicilian Pizza (square) was just like I would get it in New York. The White Pizza with Spinach, Tomato and Ricotta was delicious as well as the Eggplant Stacker and Sausage Roll. I would highly recommend this restaurant.

Good food but food service was slow. Ordered Calamari appetizer, Chicken Francaise, Chicken Parmigiana and Shrimp over linguine. Chicken Francaise and Chicken Parmigiana were delicious but the Shrimp came out burnt way over-fried, hard and inedible. The Parmigiana was over-fried also but when covered with the sauce, it was not as noticeable. The pasta side that came with the dishes were okay. Calamari was a little overcooked so it was a little chewy. Best dish was the Chicken Francaise. The chicken was flash fried perfectly and moist and juicy. The lemon sauce was just the right amount of tangy. It was obvious that Alessandro is the only chef cooking in the kitchen so the entrees took a long time to arrive. We went on a Saturday at 3PM and there were three other tables and it still took a while to get food. The servers were trying hard to get the food out. In this current situation of labor shortage, you just have to be patient. Good neighborhood joint.

This restaurant is absolutely amazing! The Fesselnstein Alfredo is the best I've ever had. The staff were friendly and welcoming. We also enjoy coming here at night. You won't be disappointed! Chef Dwight really knows how to make you feel at home.

I went to Alessandro's tonight with my sons for a swim, but unfortunately, the owner was out and the restaurant was closed. Without hesitation, he offered to cook us a meal to take home for our late dinner. I was blown away by the gesture. We are now lifelong customers!
