| - 3.5* I came in with high hope's for Alioli seeing as there were so many great reviews. To start, Alioli is very small with a max of 12-15 tables at most, all of which were very crowded together. Decor was not newly renovated, but definitely gave off a homely feel. Service was amazing, all the waiters we're really friendly, knowledgeable, and had great senses of humors (who doesn't love being called Bella all night haha). The live music was definitely my favorite part, probably one of the best live operas I've heard at a restaurant. We came in a table of 10 so I luckily got to sample a few dishes. Gnocchi was good, but nothing spectacular. The pesto pasta (forgot the name) tasted really bitter, too much garlic maybe? Calamari was good, a loaded dish that tasted as I had expected. Risotto was good, reminded me of mushroom soup? but again, nothing mind blowing. Caprese salad was good, have nothing to complain about this dish. Lastly for deserts, I ordered the molten chocolate cake and creme brulee. Both we're definitely really good and good sized portions. Creme brulee was creamy and crunchy just like i like, and topped with plenty of fruit. Overall a good experience, I really want to come back here on a date. Not so much with the whole family as I feel like it kind of ruined the romantic ambience. 3.5* for the food I tried along with the amazing service. i hope to raise this up soon when I visit next!
