The patio views are beautiful, and the weather made it such a great spot to sit outside in the evening. The live music was a perfect touch...not too loud, so you could still have a conversation comfortably. The owner even walked around and spoke with guests, and both he and his wife were incredibly friendly. You can tell they really take pride in the entertainment they provide and in making sure customers have a great experience. As for the food, it reminded me a lot of the pizza at A Modo Mio Cucina Italiana, which is just a few streets away. If you've had and enjoyed their pizza, you'll likely enjoy Pizzicata as well. I ordered the Jennifer calzone, and it was okay. I would try a calzone again, but with different toppings. I added a meatball for an extra $3, and honestly, it didn't quite hit the spot compared to homemade meatballs. The calzone had a lot of ricotta and not a lot of other ingredients in it, so if you're not a big ricotta fan, this probably isn't the best choice. That said, the ricotta itself had a different flavor than other ricotta I'm used to. The calzone doesn't come with sauce inside, and the side of sauce is pretty small. I was charged $0.50 for an extra... I probably could've used two or three sides of sauce since the calzone had none. That being said, the sauce itself was excellent... very close to the flavor of sauce that my family makes. This sauce really gave the calzone a good Taste, it just needed more! We also tried the mozzarella sticks, and those were good. Overall, the atmosphere is beautiful, the space is a nice size, and the staff is warm and welcoming. It seems like a good place to bring kids, although when we went (Thursday around 6), I didn't see many. The decor is lovely, and the overall vibe makes it a place I'd come back

Other reviews on this place seem to run to extremes of awesome or horrible. Put me solidly in the awesome camp. We were immediately and graciously welcomed. Water, wine, comp snacks, and daily special offerings were immediately provided. It just felt good being in a quaint and slightly ecclectic, but thoroughly Italian Mediterranean ristorante. The large open hearth brick oven provided the warming pleasure of open flame and a slightly smokey background wafting aroma. The comp snacks of bread, olive oil and basil, and red beans were a meal unto themselves. Alberto's wine list was reasonably extensive with many Italian offerings at every price point. The diverse and traditional culinary offerings were thoroughly Mediterranean diet specialties. Be sure to listen to the specials. I put the menu down the instant I heard veal osso bucco. Nothing further to decide, except for an appetizer. We chose the bruschetta which was everything one could desire. Fresh fresh fresh. My Osso Bucco was roast for 11 hours to absolute tender perfection. My wife had the seafood soup, a rich and tasty tomato based play on chiopino. We sincerely loved our running dialog about the food with the owner. Personal, sincere, and gracious. The tiramisu dessert was one of the best I've ever had as well. Punctuating the entire experience was my espresso, as authentic and rich, and satisfying as could possibly be provided. Alberto's isn't for everyone, and not if you are looking for inexpensive formula Italian fare. Don't get me wrong, I like Olive Garden too, but authentic, sophisticated, hand crafted awesomeness comes with a price. Alberto's is well worth a visit.

We ordered the Nona pizza with sausage. I was told it was like deep dish pizza. But that wasn't the case. It was thin crust pizza, but cut into squares. I thought it was pretty good. Honestly, if I came back, I'd like to see what they had. The waitress we had was very good. Attentive and pleasant.

Tip: Skip the wait and just eat at the bar. We wish we would've done that…read more We read the reviews and understood it could be a long wait. And it was. 1.5 hours. I would never wait that long to eat in normal circumstances, but when I'm on vacation, my tolerance for waiting goes up. You just gotta have the right mindset. We were originally quoted about 45 minutes, so we walked around the mall, but there's really not much to check out so we returned to the restaurant and grabbed a spot at the bar for drinks. Unfortunately, our phone was on silent (our fault) so we missed the "table is ready call" by about 5 minutes. So even though we were physically at the restaurant, our table was given away. We did not hear anyone call out our name at the restaurant either. I don't think we were necessarily put back on the bottom of the list, but it felt like it, as we had to wait another 45 minutes. Waiting aside, we at least enjoyed the meal. The pizzas had a nice crispy bottom and good toppings. We also visited Pizza Bianca this trip, and preferred that. Ironically, we went to LAMP because we were worried that the wait at Bianca would be too long. But we were seated immediately at Bianca. Go figure! Nevertheless, our meal at LAMP was still good. 2 pizzas and an app was plenty for 3 people.

While some seats were available, it was a very warm day, and I couldn't manage sitting in the sun, as the one umbrella I saw wasn't opened, so we went back inside to see if any bar seating had opened, and fortunately for us, a couple of chairs at the bar were now available. It's super comfortable sitting at the bar here, with a nice open-air view across the bar to the outside patio area. The service was friendly, and the happy hour menu is plentiful. We were here for the food today, and there is no shortage of options at (by today's standards) pretty reasonable prices for the amount of food you get. And if you come at other than peak hours, you can even get happy hour in the main dining room and patio, so we hope to give that a try! We ordered three items: handcrafted meatballs with San Marzano sauce ($10) and rigatoni with pulled chicken ($12) from the happy hour menu and the half Tomaso's Sicilian salad from the regular menu (essentially a happy hour price at only $8). All of it was delicious, but the standout was the salad, which my wife said was even better than the salad she orders when we visit Little Italy in San Diego. That's a huge compliment! The atmosphere isn't quiet, but they didn't have super loud, blaring music when we were there, which was welcome. It's essentially a square dining room with a bar on the side. While the bar patio on the north side of the building isn't much and isn't shaded unless you score a spot with the umbrella or come at a time of day when the building blocks the sun, the main patio is nicely covered and shaded at all times. We look forward very much to coming here again and trying other items they offer, especially the pizzas. It's nice to have another dining option in this part of town. :)
