1/2 My fiancé and I…read morerandomly decided to try Altruda's for a date night, and I wanted to love it so badly because the atmosphere is absolutely a 10/10. The second you walk in, it feels like you've stepped into a little restaurant in Italy. It genuinely gave me Lady and the Tramp sharing spaghetti vibes. Cozy, romantic, intimate and completely my kind of atmosphere. Unfortunately, the food didn't live up to the setting for us. We both had water, so I can't speak to the wine or cocktail selection. My fiancé ordered the lasagna, and I ordered the rigatoni with basil. I'll admit I didn't realize the rigatoni was literally pasta with oil and basil no marinara, no cheese, just a LOT of basil. And when I say a lot...I mean a lot. Neither of us really enjoyed our entrées, although we did eat them halfway. The salad was a disappointment. The lettuce seemed old and was extremely limp, and the chickpeas were soggy and tasted like they had been sitting in the dressing for quite a while. Nothing tasted particularly fresh. Overall, I'd give Altruda's 2.5 stars. The atmosphere alone makes me want to love this place because it is SO my vibe, but ultimately I'm going to a restaurant for the food, and ours just didn't hit. Maybe we ordered the wrong things, but based on this visit, I loved where I was sitting a whole lot more than what I was eating.

I'll be altruistic and give Altruda's 5 stars for the overall experience. We had great service and…read moreI love how the tables are segmented off into different "rooms" which makes the ambiance more intimate and quieter. The meals came out with a family style salad, which included neat toppings such as beets. The rolls doused in cooked garlic might be some of my favorite bread from any restaurant. Our server was prompt and did a great job anticipating our needs. I ordered the veal canzanese, which is breaded veal in a red wine sauce with mushrooms, ham, and cheese. My mom ordered the same dish but with chicken. Literally could not tell the difference between the chicken and veal. While the sauce tasted fine it's not a good idea to dowse a breaded meat in sauce because they were extremely soggy. I probably wouldn't order the veal again. I enjoyed how the meat sauce for the spaghetti had parsley in it - made it taste different from other bolognese. However, the meatballs, though large, were dry and bland as all get out. Some of the driest meatballs I've had in a while. Altruda my word, I'll give them 5 stars for the overall experience. Service 5, ambiance 5, and food 3.5.

We said my husband is allergic to artichokes and Steve was able to talk the kitchen staff and they accommodated by removing the artichokes and adding extra calamari. The shrimp was delicious! For our main course, we ordered the Filet & Shrimp Toscana ($29.99). This dish is fettuccine w/ spinach and mushrooms, tossed in a roasted garlic cream sauce, sliced filet, and wood-grilled shrimp. The filet was perfectly cooked medium rare. Steve let us know they were out of mushrooms and offered us peas instead. Carrabba's currently has a promotion of $10 take home entree for dine in only. We ordered the two Tuscan-Grilled Pork Chops w/ Penne Pomodoro and Garlic Mashed Potatoes. It was a lot of food to take home! Shoutout to Steve and the kitchen staff who worked on July 17, 2026! Thank you for a spectacular meal and service!!! We will return soon.

No one ever speaks to me in this store. Frequently they just look at me but never speak and I feel…read morea bit uncomfortable. I was there one evening recently. I was the only one in the store and no one spoke to me though they definitely saw me. There was a male worker near the entrance and I passed right by him but he didn't say a word. There were 2 female workers near the cash register and they stopped talking and looked in my direction then resumed talking to each other. I even bought something. I stood at the register for a while before one of the two workers came over though they were only a few feet away. All she said for the entire transaction was the amount of my total then the amount of my change. She asked if I wanted a bag and I said no. That's it. As I left two people came in and I saw the male worker greet them and ask them if they need help. The store itself is inviting and well laid out. Elegant and chic aesthetic with beautiful quality items.

Also, when I went last weekend, they had their 50 % off clearance happening for all of the holiday items. On Sundays, enjoy a VIP experience with the experts, including tours, registry help, and complimentary demos. On January 21, they'll have a Ways to Vitamix presentation and how to make pizza dough happening at 11:00 am. And on the following Sunday (the 28th), they will be showing how to make decadent desserts with the Vitamix, including chocolate-avocado mousse and espresso frappes. Know before you go: Plenty of parking spots, so don't fret. Located on the ground level of the mall. On most Sundays, they do presentations at 11:00 am, and then the audience gets to sample whatever they make :)

Going backwards again. Make sure you request your food to be served hot. The excuse I was given is…read morethey put cold plates in the service window and it chills the pasta. Never heard of that before. Got served ice cold pasta, like warm sauce and cold meatballs. They either all of a sudden forget how to cook sausage or they switched to completely disgusting sausage. I had 3 recent meals here and the same issue each time. I hate leaving bad reviews but this place will lose all the business they've recently earned from stepping up their game from a few years ago. Good luck.

My husband ordered the spaghetti and meatballs, and I chose the lasagna. Before our meal, they brought out bread with dipping oil. The bread was good, though I felt the dipping oil could have used a little more flavor. The lasagna was absolutely delicious and the portion was huge! I even had the leftovers the next day, and somehow it tasted even better. My husband loved his spaghetti and meatballs, and he was equally impressed with the generous serving size. Our server, Maya, was outstanding! She was attentive without being overbearing and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal. We also loved the atmosphere--it was warm, welcoming, and made for a great dining experience. We'll definitely be back!

We were promptly seated and had the place to ourselves for a short while. We brought our own wines so our waitress quickly opened the bottles and read the specials of the day. We have been here before but it has been few years since our last visit; we were not disappointed. You will not be disappointed with the classics or the Special Platter. I opted for the special Blacked Grouper (38) my wife ordered the Seafood Alfredo (28), and Caesar Salad. The salad could have been a more traditional blended salad but the highlights were the entrees. Both were perfectly prepared and a good price point. We ended our evening with their classic Tiramisu and an order of Gelato. Both were excellent and well priced. The highlight was the private room and our service...it's like a classic Trattoria. Thank you for a wonderful evening and anniversary!

Now, the bread was fresh and warm which was a good thing. My Caesar salad was filled with brown and wilting lettuce, so the server returned it, but I'm shocked they would let that go out even at lunch. The hot honey chicken sandwich tasted fine, the chicken was extremely thin but at least they had two small chicken patties on there. The bacon had a nice sweetness with the honey and crisp to it. Overall the flavor was fine but didn't stand out compared to similar offerings from average chain restaurants. The cheeseburger was the definition of average. Barely seasoned patty and that's about all I remember. I could not taste the cider in the highly touted "cider slaw", and was hardly a cut above KFC slaw. Firebirds burned me out charging steakhouse prices for mid-tier chain quality. I have to hope it was just a bad day for them but will be hard pressed to return.
