This place actually lived up to the hype and was EXACTLY what we were looking for. Classy atmosphere, delicious fresh tasting food and excellent service. The perfect place to celebrate a birthday with your family.
Within the first 15 minutes of sitting down in Alioli we saw not one, but two birthday cakes with candles go to different parties of people which was a good sign for us since that's what we were there for as well.
Our waiter, an older gentleman, was full of charisma. He made us feel comfortable, taken care of, and was very friendly without intruding on our meal. He also met an allergy request with no problem and didn't make us feel rushed when we couldn't make a decision on our entrees. In fact he encouraged us to just wait until we had finished the first course to even order. Despite our late order entrees arrived just 10-15 minutes are our appetizer was finished. Perfect.
We ordered the appetizer platter (recommended!) and it was enough for all 7 of us to have a taste of everything. The main courses were delicious. The veal was tender and grilled to perfection, the pastas were light and flavourful and the pizzas for one were full of bright fresh ingredients.
I was impressed with this restaurant and would definitely recommend this as a place to take a group for a nice meal.
