What Linda Michelsen likes about Al Fresco Italian:
Dining at Al Fresco is ALWAYS a fine dining experience! We only go on special occasions, so it is always a special treat and never disappoints. The wait staff is consistently friendly and no matter what entree we order, it is always outstanding. We can recommend this restaurant highly!!! View all feedback. What VictoriaB doesn't like about Al Fresco Italian:
Found the seafood dish wanting flavor. Even asked for Fra divalfo sauce. Calamari was rubbery . Partner had the chicken Alfredo and compared it to Olive Garden . Waitress was attentive and restaurant was clean. Given the per plate cost of each , it was not over priced for what we recieved. As this was our first , I wanted it to be more authentic .
