Alessandro's has a wonderful homely feel to it and dishes are almost rustic - which is great when you're away from home and in need of some good comfort food. On my last visit, I had the spaghetti with prawns and asparagus in a tomato and cream based sauce - all ingredients complemented each other well, although a little heavy for me. Service was impeccable especially as we were a rather large (8+) group. Also, I was pleasantly surprised by the number of other guests present given it was a Wednesday night. All in all, Alessandro's is a great place for a quick and fillig Italian meal, with a buzz.

Food was excellent, atmosphere was fun and overall vibe was fantastic. Neal kept an eye on everything and everyone and kept the tables turning while Mitch (who I'm pretty sure is an international man of mystery) schmoozed like no other. Highly recommend. Hopefully I'll return for the race in the future and they can roll out the red carpet for Lord Fancy Pants once again.

Probably the best pizza on the IOM, or anywhere for that matter…read more Pasta dishes were very tasty and obviously freshly made. Their pizza dough is made on-site as is the bread they use for the bruschettas. It was quite busy the night we were there as it was TT week. But all the staff tried to make it a memorable experience. Our server was new, she was quite young, but acted like a pro, never got flustered and always had a smiley face. Prices were average for the Island. I will definately return on the next trip.

Definitely make a reservation ahead of time. We didn't have one, so we were told by the hostess…read morethat we'd get the less desirable seats in the house. We were put in the very rear by the back door, which, when opened, occasionally required us to get up from our seats to let someone in. My pasta was great, the garlic soup was AMAZING (I've never heard of a creamy garlic soup with pesto drizzle before but now I pretty much wake up dreaming about it), and my boyfriend loved his personal pizza. The lattes we got for desert were too huge and watery. Had difficulty finishing them, and they weren't very good. The only thing that has room for improvement, though. The customer service was great (a well-spoken foreign exchange high school student was our waitress), and Leonardo himself initially took our order and stayed a while by our table, talking boisterously and cracking jokes. He was an amusing character. We wanted to come back once more, but time did not permit us to.

The pizza was some of the best we have had with a thin crispy crust, fresh toppings and plenty of flavor. They will also drizzle or soak it in garlic butter upon request. My nephew suggested we try it soaked in the garlic butter and he was right. It was delicious. The ambience is old style Italian and the service was top notch. Efficient and friendly describes it best. There is plenty of seating upstairs and down but I would still recommend reservations at this little gem as it was packed when we were there. Especially, if you are visiting during busier Times such as summer or TT week. One last note, the owner is a kind, friendly, happy man who does a precious 'magic' for the children at the end of their meal if they eat everything. All around a great experience.

It was good and reasonably priced, but the food was not life changing. Started with very good garlic bread, which was served like a pizza crust with an excellent almost spicy tomato based dipping sauce, strongly recommend. The antipasto was also a nice starter, with many olives (I don't olives but a friend said there texture was too tough), peppers, salami, ham and artichokes. I had chicken parmesan over spaghetti. The chicken was good and the sauce was relatively complex but the chicken was not flattened as I like in many good parms. The restaurant was also very hot, which made it a little less than perfect. Overall, a restaurant I would go back but not overly memorable.

It's my go to place when I'm in a hurry and generally they have a table available (or a waiting area if there's a short wait) for small groups on the go. This Saturday night we were straight in and supping a Peroni within 5 minutes, ordered and had our pizzas on the table 15 mins later. Lovely and fresh, straight from the oven - I had the Douglas pizza which was filled to burst with queenie scallops, prawns and smoked salmon (my wife actually having the same) and our friend had the meat feast. Make sure you order the chilli dip sauce - it's great on the side and with garlic butter and black pepper alongside it was the perfect dish to line our stomachs before a big night out around the North Quay pubs. It was £55 with a couple of drinks each and 2 espressos which I think is pretty good value - I'm sure we'll be back in TT week (when it probably is advisable to book ahead). If you have trouble finding it, then it's above the recently opened Pizza Hut - a bit of a joke of location for them to choose if you ask me!

Probably not somewhere that 'Gaga' got inspiration for one of her biggest hits from but ultimately…read morenot a bad place even if personally I feel they get by just because of its central location, it's close to the seaside and is massively popular amongst bikers in TT (which means they probably make enough money to see them through the rest of the year) Pizza, pasta, nothing crazily special on the drinks front - it serves a purpose even if I do think La Piazza 3 mins down the road is far superior and a much more pleasant setting. In TT when things are crazy it may be a good option due to their dining room being pretty huge.

It came with onions which wasn't detailed on the menu so I sent it back. To be fair they took it back and made me another order so they get stars for good service and doing the right thing which really pleased me!! Well done!! The downside though was the price which was £10.95 for a plate of eggs and sausage and VERY small bottle of water. I think it was worth £7-£8 but at ££10.95 is definitely overpriced. If the extra chorizo was on the plate it didn't feel like it. not sure what normal looks like but if it is half the sausages for £2 less then it is still overpriced. It was a couple of eggs and 2 cut up sausages. In fairness it was very tasty however the price for what was received left me feeling let down. Maybe this is an oddity on there menu but I will see when I come back again.

So far we have not been able to experience the pop up dinners but it sounds fantastic. Everything is so delicious, clearly a very talented culinary staff.
