A friend and I planned to come here for lunch. Limited self parking or valet is available. The bipolar weather was in our favor so we sat outside on the patio of course for the beautiful golf green and ocean view. The service is always A1. I ordered the par 3 spritz and added tajin to the rim. It was refreshingly similar to a mojito but definitely strong. We shared a Caesar salad then got pizzas because they are always fantastic. I tried the palm beach white pizza which was covered in delicious smoked salmon and caviar. Flavor explosion with every bite. Al fresco is always a mini escape from the real world. Until next time! read more

Love this place. Had a late lunch after a round of golf on the fantastic Par 3 Course here. Great having such a nice spot for food at this popular par 3 golf course. Sit on the outdoor deck and enjoy the amazing view of the ocean. Peroni hit the spot, nice and cold. Caesar and a Turkey Club Sanwich w Fries. Fantastic service from a seasoned staff. VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED read more

Al Fresco - Pizza Near Me - Palm Beach, Florida

Positive: Location is beautiful. Overlooking golf course and Atlantic Ocean. Negative: Food is incredibly overpriced for the quality. Had the mussels and was actually quite foul tasting, not edible. Told our server not to serve it to patrons. She seemed uninterested. I paid for it and regretted I did not elevate to management. The three other people I was with also thought the quality of food was poor. I cannot recommend. There are much better places to dine that have atmosphere and better quality food. We will not go back. read more

Servers were fantastic. Andrea ws the very best. Was disapointed in the main meal. I ordered Spaghettini Seafood. I have ordered this before but this meal was the worst. Pasta was overcooked and mushy. The absence of any seasoning made it bland and tasteless. I strongly you go back to the days when you first opened and provide the seasoning you had at that time. Also find a cook that knows how to cook pasta. The bright spon of our meal was our server, Andrea. Most impressive. read more

We drove to Palm Beach Gardens for a few days with another couple. It was our first time for all of us dining at Al Fresco. It will not be our last. We all had an incredible meal. Fish of the Day, Salmon, Duck and dessert. We were greeted with smiles and seated immediately. We chose to sit inside as it was just a bit windy for our liking. We were seated at a table by the window and enjoyed the breathtaking view! Many patrons were dining outside. Our server, Andrea, was pleasant and attentive. We ordered the Al Fresco "Golfballs" appetizer for the table. Five veal and beef meatballs in a spicy tomato sauce. The flavor was well balanced. I always order duck if it is on the menu. In this case it was a roasted half duck in an apricot glaze. Every bite was mouthwatering. It was cooked to perfection; very tender, not greasy. I highly recommend Al Fresco! You will not be disappointed. read more

It's ok. I had breakfast there recently. As a man at a table nearby said "how efficient, they toasted the bread yesterday". It's that kind of place. Pleasant enough, great location. But lazy. I only come here if the weather isn't good enough for Dune Deck. read more

The ruben sandwich is great. The carpet on the stairs was gross and the main carpet mat. Great location, great views. Just a little of carpet cleaning and it would be a 5 star place read more

The food at Al Fresco was never consistent but since the renovation it has gone really downhill. Unfortunately so has the service and it seems like management got rid of a few excellent waiters but kept the one angry and unfriendly guy and if you are a regular you know who that is. We had a few different items and didn't bother to eat much as it was that bad. Al Fresco does have great views and a nice relaxing vibe and it is fine for drinks but that's about it. read more

Been dining here for years...based on proximity and the view...this review is limited to the pizza...their version of the Neapolitan pizza has been a safe and tasty dining option...compared to their sketchy versions of Italian staples...said pizza has "a soft, thin crust, blistered in a wood-fired oven." Last night, we ordered two pizzas. They both tasted like cheap, frozen supermarket pizza. The crusts were cracker-like, with no characteristics of a classic Neapolitan pizza. The crust was so hard that they loudly crunched as you ate them. These pizzas could have been used as frisbees! The ingredients were bland, with no indicia of spice or taste. What's happened to the pizza? Not worth the view to eat this very poor excuse of a guilty pleasure!! read more

We played a round of golf and then grabbed dinner upstairs above the pro shop. The chicken parm seems to be the go-to dish -- it was good, but not great. Surprisingly, the side pasta was perfect and the standout of the meal. It was already dark when we were there, but if you can, try to go earlier and take in the incredible ocean views. Definitely part of the experience. read more

This is one of our favorite dining spots here in Fla. Last nite we had dinner with friends.. our server was Esteban , who was attentive & gracious.. My husband chose the baby lamb chops, and I had the roasted duck( both were outstanding! Our dining companions also enjoyed their food choices. Prior to dinner, my husband and I enjoyed cocktails at the bar, served by Lorenzo . The atmosphere , because this venue sits in the middle of a picturesque Par 3 golf course near the ocean , was lively and uplifting. When we visit this spot we always pay a visit to browse/purchase golf related merchandise. When in Palm Beach you owe yourself a visit to 'Al Fresco'. read more

Ortega, Enzo, Kris, all the staff all the management run this place like a tight ship. Southern outpost of Pizza Al Fresco & sister to RENATOS & AQUA, Al FRESCO @ Par 3 is wonderful ocean side dining with a bit of Capri thrown in. Pizzas, Pastas, Fish, beautiful salads & grilled meats. read more

Al Fresco - Pizza Near Me - Palm Beach, Florida

It can be pretty sitting on the deck outside, overlooking the golf course and a lick of ocean. It is pretty loud, and apparently the waitress repeated everyone's order back to us, but nobody heard it, and she did not hear us well enough either. Thus, I did not receive a main course, just my salad with everyone else's main. The special - a roast pear salad - sounded really good in theory, but the pears were quite vile. I'm not sure what they were marinated and cooked in. However, that ended up as my crummy meal. The waitress offered to get me my dish, but it would have not come out until my in-laws would have been done with their dinners and ready to go, so I could not do that. My daughter's linguini with clams was ok for her at best, but I did not care for it either. I don't understand the appeal. read more

Al Fresco - My review of AL FRESCO - Pizza Near Me - Palm Beach, Florida

The view was amazing and the service was fantastic but the food was just average and not sure it was worth the price and the valet was so rude just completely ignored me and I was just trying to give him a tip and had to get my own car. This was my first time there not sure I would go back. read more

Great pizza and atmosphere. Food is always great and service is good. They really need to get their reservation system online because it's hard to call and get reservations and who wants to do that anymore. I would go more often is reservations were online read more

Beautiful views from all sides. We enjoy going for a light lunch and for dinner. Great food, especially the chicken parmigiana!

Today 11.30 AM, I went for lunch. The Pizza Margherita was really not good. (I had the same at their other location, which was much better.) The grilled chicken wrap was good. The wait staff was attentive. The location/view and ambiance are awesome. By 12.15-12.45, it was a full house, people enjoyed the beautiful scenery and ambiance. Hopefully, others have better luck with the Pizza Margherita. read more

Service was excellent. Responsive and courteous. Food was awful. I have eaten there before and had the best duck, calamari and dessert that i have raved about for a year but tonight we went and it was truly a disappointment. First duck was not crispy and was not tasty. The sauce was cherry. That was disgusting. Orange, plum or apricot would be normal. Pairing duck with cherry was bad idea. Potatoes were roasted and tasted like bad grease and deep fried. Asparagus was old and not good. Calamari went from a huge plate last time to barely covering the plate. Caesar salad had no croutons snd dressing did not taste right. I don't ever complain but did and waitress should have got manager but did not. Never going back. Our friend took us and paid and was embarrassed as he also had eaten many times there. Not anymore. read more

Yelp asked me to rate Al Fresco which I've eaten at 50 times and probably reviewed previously. Like every other restaurant in PBC their prices are up quite a bit but still worth it on every level. Very good food, excellent staff, incredible ocean view dining overlooking beautiful par 3 golf course, efficient valet parking. Overall always a great experience. One of the few places in PBC you can get 0ssi Buco ($58). Never had a bad meal. Try their French Toast for breakfast. And Pizza for lunch. Enjoy!! read more

I have wanted to come here for years. I understand this is the sister restaurant to Renato's and Acqua Café. I called two weeks in advance to make week night dinner reservations for four. There was valet parking but plenty of spots to self park. The Al Fresco Restaurant & Bar is above the Palm Beach Par 3 Golf Club Pro Shop. There are indoor tables and seating on the open-air patio with spectacular oceanfront views. There were fans & a cool breeze, sitting outside was comfortable in the end of May. The dinner menu had something for everyone. Starters, salads, homemade pastas, risotto, pizza's and entrees including branzino, salmon, veal, ossobucco & four chicken options. There is a $7 fee for sharing entrees. We were seated on the patio, overlooking the golf course & ocean. Miguel our waiter took very good care of us, We started by sharing an eggplant rollatini appetizer, while friends enjoyed a portobello. I understand that they have homemade pastas here so I opted for lobster ravioli, and a pink cream sauce that was outrageous. My husband enjoyed the fettuccine Bolognese friends enjoyed the vongole with clams and a duck entree. For dessert we shared a chocolate moose over a brownie. Portions were very generous we brought enough leftovers home for another meal. read more

The views of the ocean and the golf course are fantastic! I found the food to be very average. The menu has salads, various appetizers such as calamari, sandwiches, pizzas, pasta entrees and seafood. I asked the waitress if the roasted turkey was deli meat or actually freshly baked turkey and she said t it was sliced bought turkey, I asked again, then she changed what she said and I was rather skeptical. My friend ordered the turkey sandwich and he said it was not deli turkey and that it was okay. Another friend ordered the BLT sandwich which he enjoyed. I went with a white pizza which has about six slices. The crust was very thin which I like and it was flaky, which was a little strange for pizza. They added goat cheese however it was not melted just crumbles added to the pizza. They have valet parking and self parking in the front. . read more

Great location for a late lunch at the Par 3 Golf Course. Go upstairs at the clubhouse and enjoy the ocean breeze at the outdoor balcony with great views overlooking the golf course and the Atlantic Ocean. For lunch, get the blackened mahi-mahi sandwich. Served with shoestring fries, it is so delicious. Our friends enjoyed their Margherita Pizzas. So relaxing to enjoy a beautiful spring day in Palm Beach County. Bonus: parking is free. read more

Our gang of 4 enjoyed dinner at Al Fresco Restaurant and Bar above the Palm Beach Par 3 Golf Club Pro Shop. Dine inside, or as we did dine on the open-air patio with spectacular oceanfront view. Friendly, attentive service. We made reservations for 4:15 and were promptly seated. Restaurant was full by 5 pm weekday. Enjoyed appetizers of Wedge Salad, Crabmeat Cocktail, and Pea Soup (soup of the day). Entrées were very good: Ravioli di Aragosta (stuffed with lobster), Pan Seared Salmon, Ravioli al Fresco (stuffed with burrata), and Linguine Vongole. Served with a nicely chilled martini and glasses of rose Prosecco Small Gripe: At these prices, I would expect to be offered freshly shaved Parmigiano Reggiano cheese. Parking is valet. Open daily breakfast, lunch and dinner. Alert: Al Fresco is pricy and nearly matches Manhattan dinner prices. Special occasion dining. Point of Interest: Location is right down the street from President Trump's Mar-a-Lago. PS And a shout-out to Christina...and her perfect personality as a server read more

Here's the list of wants: A gorgeous ocean view A lively, tucked-away spot with attainable reservations A great bar A menu with something for everyone Well-cooked, simple but delicious food Here's what we got: Everything. The food was fresh, the drinks were superbly made to our liking, and the service was attentive and helpful but not in your face. The bread basket was warm, a bonus. Our NY cheesecake was bruleed on top for an added crunch to the silky sweet cheesy filling. We went for dinner, but Al Fresco is also open for breakfast and lunch. I'm a glutton for wanting everything, so I'll give those meals at this gorgeous spot a whirl. Why not? Isn't eating Al Fresco the quintessential South Florida thing to do? read more

I hate to review Al Fresco, I want to keep it as "the best kept secret in Lake Worth" -- Everything about this restaurant is awesome. It's a local place, definitely not a tourist attraction. The ambience: you're on a golf course on an ocean need I say more!!! The turkey club sandwich is one of the best I've ever had.. They also have a grilled chicken wrap that is also absolutely out of this world. Don't order the pizza, just saying The servers are so friendly and they go out of their way to make your dining experience amazing. read more

Great food, view and atmosphere! It has an old time country club feel to it but is modern and airy as well. There was construction out side but didn't hinder our ocean and golf course view. Looking forward to coming back when the construction is completed to sit outside. Service was very prompt and friendly. Parking was free unlike a near by beach front dining experience we had earlier. read more

Been here with the family a couple of times and it is a great venue and a very good restaurant. Nestled inside the club house of a 3-par golf club, on the second floor. It has a ring around balcony overlooking the Ocean and it is magical to eat there. Great food and service, an extensive wine list and a full bar. read more

The atmosphere a blend of old school architecture and fluoride casual. Nice staff and maybe the best Mahi sandwich I have had in a while.

Beautiful views overlooking the golf course. Smallish place with ample seating. The beet salad was delicious. Got the GF pizza that was pretty good but needed to be cooked a little more. Service was excellent! I forget the gentleman's name but he was on it and a great personality. I will definitely be back! Taking a star off because the host said we couldn't sit at the spot closest to the screen yet sat someone else breiefly after. read more

This place is in the most beautiful spot and the last few times we have been here were so good. But I was a bit disappointed tonight. The food was very bland. A lot of salt and pepper helped but I also think they increased the price of the drinks to $15/. So when all was said and done it was $180! They need to sharpen up for those prices read more

Delicious food! Tuna salad sandwich and club sandwich both excellent. Good beet salad also.

Perfect lunch spot! As you drive down A1A and come upon the Palm Beach par 3 golf course, don't just admire the dune course. Turn in and discover this upstairs gem of a restaurant. The inside looks like a pub you would find at the 19th hole. Plaid, wood, cozy with a big bar. Outside covered terraces open up to the most amazing 300 degree views of the ocean. The menu is surprisingly varied with salads, sandwiches and entrees (Italian and fish). The seafood salad was sooooo good. Fresh, light and yummy. Excellent service. Great for families. read more

Al Fresco - The view. - Pizza Near Me - Palm Beach, Florida

Friends have spoken highly about Al Fresco, so we needed to try it out. We were met with complimentary valet service, always a delight. After we sat down I was fumbling with my rigid wallet and unknowingly i dropped a big-headed $20. Esteban was our waiter and took our drink order----at which time he noticed and asked if I dropped the cash. TRUST BABY!!! I actually did drop the money (FWIW, I was asked the previous week at an Atlanta location by my table mates if I dropped a $100-bill...I had not). We dined outside on the screened deck overlooking the golf course and the ocean. Even on a warm day, the breeze will keep you comfortable. Besides TRUSTY staff, the service was wonderful, even though it was quite busy. Our water glasses were never empty, and I drink like a camel. The food options were plenty. Our choices for lunch were fresh and plentiful. Very reasonably priced. Overall, a very pleasant experience and worth your visit. A bonus: They are open 7-days and offer breakfast, lunch, and dinner. A solid choice. Lastly, Thank you again Esteban. read more

Great location overlooking the ocean. I mean really, how can you beat that, especially because their wraparound porch is on the 2nd floor. The pizza is always reliable, and the "Palm Beach" pizza--with lox and capers--is a favorite in our family. read more

Great place to go for many reasons I am told, so as local Palm Beachers we decided to give it a go. I guess it was, just a bad experience for us today. We arrived for an early dinner at 5pm without a reservation. The hostess stand had no one in sight of authority. The young lady standing there took us to the front of the restaurant which offered a lovely view of the parking lot with a delightful direct sun exposure. I asked her if we could sit at one of the other (5) tables on the side which were not in direct sunlight and had a nice view if the golf course and ocean. She said all those tables were held for reservations. Hmmmmmmmm....... When we were signing our check at 6:05pm not a soul had occupied any of the (5) tables. We never saw a manager or anyone who appeared to be in authority. No one stopped by to see how our dinning experience was going. No refills were offered on water, or if we wanted anything else. We saw our waiter twice. Once when taking the order and lastly when I flagged him down to get my check. For service I give this place 2 stars. We ordered the chicken parmigiana which was huge and served with a small bowl of dry and tasteless pasta. Never again. My boyfriend ordered the cheese ravioli. The ravioli was slightly tough and undercooked. We ordered a round of drinks that never came. Heading out the door, I asked the hostess about those (5) empty tables that remained empty. She told me they had reservations on them at 7pm. So, they sit empty for TWO HOURS and you put the 5pm guests in the direct sunlight and view of the parking lot? Clearly, she couldn't give a damn. Morale to the story: Palm Beach is full of amazing restaurants with spectacular food and service. Stick to what works and avoid trying someplace new. read more

Normally we have enjoyed our lunches here but this last time was a bit disappointing. Now I understand that because of renovations the outdoor seating was not open but there was a bit too much hovering at the tables inside. We had at any given moment 3 or 4 servers standing very close to use while eating. My biggest complaint, however is I asked if they had sweet tea and the server said yes. he then brought unsweetened tea and a bunch of sugar packets insisting this made it sweet tea! When I mentioned this to who I thought might be a more seasoned wait person she told me none of them understand English so no sense in bothering. I think this is a simple issue that can be explained to wait staff; either they serve it or they don't. Her comment to me seemed to me as almost a put down on the staff. On the upside the food is very good, if a bit pricey. read more

This is one of my mother in law's favorites. I had never heard of it until she told me. We always sit on the patio and enjoy the ocean view. This is not a place to go for a speedy meal. So order a drink, sit back, enjoy the view and the conversations. They have gluten free pizza crust. My dinner companions always get the meatballs and say they are quite good. It's also a great place to bring your out of town guests from up north. read more
