It is not my intention to give a poor review but my last experience to Alice Fazooli's was not something that was worth the value. We know that going out for dinner whatever the occasion is suppose to be an enjoyable experience that see exceptional food or at least decent food. As a family we come to AF's once and a while maybe 5 times a year for dinner to get together. The atmosphere is great and I like the feel of the decor of the restaurant. We had 3 different starters to share 5 orders in total: 2 calamari, 2 muscles and 1 Shrimp & Calamari Puttanesca. They were all very good, with the calamari I would have preferred a marina sauce but that is just a personal preference.
For dinner I had a pizza as I was facing the open kitchen and all I could see was the stone oven! I had the Mediterranean pizza with added spicy peppers. Overall, the pizza was bland and have very little taste or spice to it; very disappointing. The people who ordered 2 steaks at our table had to send them back as they were not cooked to order (undercooked). The two stand out dishes were ordered at our table was the Italian Butcher and the Chicken Panini.
The service at the table was top and that is something that half of the experience; unfortunately the food was not leaving us with a feeling of wanting to comeback anytime soon. For our next outing I will be suggesting another option other than Alice Fazooli's; they need to improve on taste and details.
