Alfredo's Italian Restaurant

My husband and I ate here last week for his birthday and had a marvelous experience. We both had excellent pasta dishes. Our waiter was not warm and fuzzy, but that is part of the atmosphere. As dinner progressed, we discovered that our waiter had a wicked sense of humor. From the decor, to the staff, to the wonderful food, we felt like we were eating dinner in one of "The Godfather" movies. Fabulous experience!

I haven't been there in over 20 years My mother is 86 and cannot wait to go back Being so long I dont doubt the reviews, but what a shame, that place used to have some of the best Italian food I have ever had. The owner was Perry and his wife handled the money, the kept a tight grip on the place. none of them were Italian they were all Cubans, they were very accomadating then, they place was dark and I expected to see some dogs playing pool pictures. The anit pasta, mussells, snapper were the best I have ever had. They used to stay up after Saturday night till Sunday morning and gamble good size money kinda made it feel a little gangster, and were silk suits, going to break my mothers hearts, but thats why I read the reviews

I walked into Alfredos for the first time this evening, 02/29/12 at about 8 PM. There was a group of four already waiting for 10 minutes. It was obvious there was an empty table for four within 10 feet of them. But, no one was even considering seating them. My party of two moved up to the registration book for about 10 minutes and no one came to take our name. However, I mentioned to two different staff as they raced by that we would like to put our name in for seating. I turned to look at the front door and there were now 10 people waiting to be seated and no one was avialable to even take our names. We left in disgust knowing that if the front of this restaurant operation was this pathetic then the food would not be worth eating. I will let my friends know of this bad experience.

We'd heard so much about this restaurant that 9 of us dined there tonight for a birthday celebration. It was possibly the worst dining experience we've ever had. The restaurant is dark and has an interesting odor. The service is slow. The food is mediocre at best. The appetizers were bland: calamari that tasted like it was frozen and then fried, tasteless stuffed mushrooms and ok escargot. The salads were a joke - served on small plates that looked to be bread plates even though they may have been salad plates. While waiting what seemed to be a long time for our entrees, one of the servers spilled a glass of water over the table including on my BlackBerry. We're still waiting on an apology. The entrees finally came and again mediocre is the best any of of us were able to give the lasagna, salmon, chicken and snapper dishes we had. We ordered a variety of desserts in hopes of salvaging a disappointing meal. We were disappointed again. I am a "foodie" and pride myself on knowing good food and great service; I've had some wonderful dining experiences throughout metro Atlanta. Tonight, I dined with a group of friends who get together throughout the year to celebrate birthdays and other events and we travel throughout metro Atlanta to dine at different restaurants. Needless to say, we're all frequent diners. None of us were prepared for the comment that the server made after we paid the check. He brought the tip back to the table to explain to us that the bill was $332 and we didn't leave enough tip. Yes, we were in shock! A mediocre dining experience deserves a mediocre tip. None of us will ever dine again at Alfredo's Italian Restaurant and I'm letting all of my friends know about the awful dining experience we had tonight.
