Al Fresco Italian
I ate in their patio on a perfect Friday afternoon. I thoroughly enjoyed my time here. The service was excellent, valet parking wasn’t too bad for $8, and I did not have to wait to get a table. Their pastas were very good.
Dishes I tried:
Gnocchi al Bosciola
The homemade gnocchi was veryvery good. I usually like gnocchi to be fluffy and not dense. This place had such fluffy gnocchi to die for. I just wished the sauce wasn’t so salty. But overall the gnocchi with a tomato creams sauce w/ porcini mushrooms, pancetta, and Italian sausage was good.
Tiramisu
It was a little dry.
Arrabbiata
I really like this spicy penne dish. It was perfectly al dente.
Calamari
The fried calamari should have had a crispier outside.
