| - My husband and I were looking to try a new restaurant for dinner so we ended up at Alessia's. I have been to other business' in the same complex and never knew it was there, they say they don't advertise, all word of mouth. I was very surprised to see that there is a nice Italian spot near home without having to go to a chain restaurant.
The service was good from beginning to end, you don't just get one server assigned to you, whoever is walking through (the very small dining space) will check up on you and make sure everything is ok, I liked this because we didn't go unnoticed. Even though the dining area is small, it was never loud, and there were even a few children when we arrived. It seems like it is families that have been coming here for years and their children actually know how to behave in a nice restaurant.
Now to the best part, the food. We were served bread to start off with, nothing special, but I was starving so it was appreciated. For dinner we ordered the Insalata Milanese, breaded veal over greens with delicious mozzarella and chiffonade tomatoes was simple and satisfying, I would come back for this salad alone! We also order the Pomobasil Gnocchi, the tomato sauce was so good I doubt we left a drop on the plate, but the semolina gnocchi itself wasn't what I wanted. I prefer potato, so I wouldn't mark points off for that being it is more a personal preference issue because everything came to us cooked very well. For dessert we had a cannoli that was also very good. Overall I would definitely come back here and bring some friends with.
