| - After so many great reviews, who could NOT try this place, right?
Meh. That's about my review of Albertos.
The food was really average, while being high priced for the portion size and taste. Yes - the pasta was cooked perfectly, but the rest of the meal was (again) meh.
We had the antipasto, and while good, was nothing spectacular.
The bread was great ,and so was the pesto olive oil for dipping. Good thing I'm a carb addict...
The marinara sauce is more the orange-y kind, rather than really red, robust sauce like you find back East. I had the braciole, and while most everywhere else in the world this translates to a stuffed beef roll, this was not stuffed. Think tough, rolled, thin beef. It was like carpeting.
Cannoli is not made with ricotta (what??), tasted more like mascarpone. And there was no shortage of rum in the tiramisu. None at all.
Overall, it was OK, but I don't see myself going back.
