   Great entertainment! Fun time with a large group. But, be prepared to have very slow service and less than mediocre food. They were out of a lot of basic things too, like mozzarella cheese for the veal parm. The servers were very stressed out. It was also expensive. Did I say the entertainment was great?

   We had been patrons that travel quite a bit to come here for years, but this may have unfortunately been our last time. The staff is super kind and the music is excellent and entertaining as always. However, we could not have been much more disappointed with the service, food, and price. It wasn’t a particularly busy night and food took quite a long time to be delivered. They were out of eggplant. A couple of us ordered chicken parmesan and are still not quite sure what we were delivered. Was it veal? Dark meat? Way overcooked? Not sure, but it was awful. They were nice enough to take 15% off and yet our meal for 6 with no appetizers or alcohol was still nearly $300. It wasn’t worth half that. As big as a fan we have been for years, I hate writing this, but I sincerely hope it was an aberration or a learning experience for them to improve.

   Food was fine. Just very very slow. We came for the entertainment listed to start at 7. When we arrived for our 7pm reservation, the entertainment had already been started presumably 30 Minutes earlier. We didn’t get our food until after entertainment was finished at 8:30. Closer to 9:00 when our food was served. Staff stopped by and apologized, telling us ours was up next numerous times. We used to come frequently. We stopped a couple years ago due to slow service. Decided to try again because we Always like the music. But same issues as before. Food is still great, but they seem woefully understaffed. And we were charged a $15 each cover charge that wasn’t shown on Open Table and I don’t recall seeing it on their website either.

   We really enjoy spending time at Altobelli's. There is nothing like live music while enjoying a good Italian dish!

   They just didn’t have enough staff. I felt bad for the hostess who served us. She was great but kept having to apologize. After waiting 2 hours for our meal… it was meh.

   I absolutely could not believe the bread!!!!! If you want to see shrinkflation, wait til You see the bread. I can’t even explain how tiny the “bread balls” were. I thought it was a joke. This restaurant is going down hill.

   Dined with my 12 year old daughter. Ordered simple plain pasta with broccoli nothing special took 1:10 min to arrive. Ordered meatball appetizer that never arrived along with no bread. Waiter stated out of bread and out of meatballs so no problem with us however, he could have told us 1 hour back when we initially ordered. Great restaurant and usually good experience but not today. Owner overheard my conversation with waiter and was very professional in the she she handled it. Maybe just a bad night.

   I love this restaurant and have been here several times. Great food, great ambience! The owner is wonderful and very hands-on. She spends time interacting with her customers and shows genuine interest in them. The pianist and lounge singer there last night were both very talented and sounded amazing. Everyone there went out of their way to be especially kind and accommodating to my 86 year old Mother and my special needs niece. Much appreciated!

    Our favorite restaurant to go to for special occasions for many years. We were last there on a Saturday night which was an open mike night when diners can help entertain. Randy, their fantastically talented piano player and Casey {the owner} has a beautiful voice and sings, talks to diners and helps celebrate birthdays. It was a fun and entertaining evening. Best time to go is on weekends.
