    From the moment we walked in to walking out, it was a home run. We sat a few minutes before our reservation and had a server within minutes and drinks soon afterwards. Multiple staff took care of us to ensure we had food and anything we needed. The food was great and the cost was reasonable. A great experience and we will go back soon.

    Had dinner at Alessandro’s last night to celebrate Valentine’s Day. I’d been wanting to eat here for a long time and we had a great time. The food was fantastic and the service was excellent. My husband is hard to please when it comes to really good Italian food and he was very impressed. Looking forward to enjoying many more meals there.

    We have been here to eat twice. Both times were excellent. I have celiac disease and they have gluten free options and the servers check with the chef to confirm if an item is GF. The food is delicious and ther service is excellent. I highly recommend this restaurant and look forward to going back.

    All good except they asked us to be finished by a certain time to seat another party. I think it was unnecessary to ask that. We were done in plenty of time
