    After our superb luncheon earlier this week at Al Fresco, we invited best-friend neighbors from Smithfield to join us for dinner tonight. They are originally from the West Coast, and had never visited the restaurant before… although they’d frequented the Deli nearby several times. They were both impressed by the restaurants’ layout and ambience…and equally impressed by the menu and “Special” selections.  Our meal (and wine servings) could not have been more enjoyable.

    Could not have enjoyed a more pleasant lunch… the food and service were absolutely superb. In fact, we’ve invited friends to have dinner with us there tonight.

    Extensive menu, food great as always. From soups, salads to main dishes and desserts, everything was exceptionally good. We had a nice quiet table for a visit with friends we see infrequently. Our server was less helpful than we have come to expect in this, a favorite, restaurant.

    Excellent food as usual. We were a party of 9 with a number of "special requests" . Our server, Ella, handled them all easily and accurately. Quite crowded again - clear sign that it is very popular

    Food is always great. Tried a new wine, Roscato, which was very good. My server was good to me, as well.

    As usual, our dinner at Al Fresco was delicious and the service was great. The salmon piccata is my favorite item on the menu.
