| - I don't usually write a negative Yelp review, but one is definitely warranted here. Yelp doesn't give you the opportunity to rate a business as two thumbs down, but this restaurant would definitely deserve this rating from me after what I have been through over the past 24 hours.
I went here for dinner with 16 other people (2 tables total) on May 13, 2012, and it is safe to say that the owner couldn't pay me enough to come back. This place charged about $20 for a dinner. At that price, I tend to set my expectations for the quality of food and service fairly high. Needless to say, my expectations were not met.
Service:
Our server, Roseanne, wasn't professional enough to be working at a Waffle House, much less a place that claimed to be a decent Italian restaurant. She never checked on us while we were eating our salads or our dinners; we had to get her attention for whatever we needed. We asked her to provide us with a pitcher of water, so our glasses wouldn't need to keep getting refilled. She gave it to us, but her body language certainly said that she did so begrudgingly. Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't most decent restaurants have separate wait staffers in charge of keeping peoples water glasses filled? After one of my cousins asked for olive oil for our Italian bread, she slammed the entire bottle of olive oil (that looked like it had been taken right out of the kitchen) on the table in front of me. I never even asked for it! Later, one of my cousins asked for extra marinara sauce for her chicken parm. Roseanne didn't even verbally acknowledge her and brought it out without saying anything to her. Roseanne later complained to the other half of our party that our table kept asking for too much. When someone at the other table ordered dessert, Roseanne took the dessert from the sample tray she brought out and gave it to them. Now, I am not one to make assumptions, but shouldn't the dessert item be prepared fresh in the kitchen and then brought out? Who knows how long that item had been sitting out on that tray?
Food:
I ordered pork chops with mashed potatoes and steamed mixed vegetables and a salad to start. My wife order some type of pasta dish with pieces of chicken and pork that, apparently, had the owner's last name in its name. I would describe the flavor of my wife's pasta as "angel hair with ketchup." Moreover, she found a long, thin bone in the pasta that could have easily been mistaken for a piece of angel hair. Thank goodness we didn't have to make a trip into the emergency room. My pork chops and sides were just okay tasting. Cinnamon in mashed potatoes did not work for me. I also tasted a piece of my cousin's veal parm. Now, I'm not a master chef by any stretch, but I've made better chicken/veal parm at home using a recipe from a cookbook written by Tony Danza (yes, that Tony Danza). However, the food I ate has come back to haunt me today. I do not want to get into specifics, but I will say that I've spent more time in the bathroom this morning than I usually spend in there over the course of an entire day.
In summary, in my humble opinion, Alfredo's was awful and a terrible value. The server we had wasn't professional enough to work at a Waffle House. The cooks put out a terrible product that literally made me sick. I beg you and anyone you know to avoid this place like the plague.
