This review is for the pizza and bolognese pasta-all great…read more My family shared the lamb pizza and Greek pizza and were so surprised how huge the slices were! Each giant slice was the equivalent of 2-3 slices combined. The flavor on both pizzas was very good and the lamb was not "gamey" or overpowering in flavor. Our little nieces loved the bolognese pasta, and I tried the sauce on it, and it was tasty. We ordered it all to go.

I wouldn't go out of my way to go here again, but for what it is (a two-location only, not really a…read morechain restaurant) it was a-okay. We were there for a late lunch, so we basically had the run of the place. Our server was very sweet, non-intrusive, and--though she did forget about a caesar salad until reminded after entrees were served--overall did a great job. Drinks were refilled promptly, etc. The food? Eh, it was fine. The garlic styx (why do they spell it this way, ARGH) were pizza dough, not actually "bread," and holy CRAP was there a lot of garlic on them. I mean entire cloves coating it. I don't mind garlic so I wasn't mad, but it was a bit much. The side of marinara was adequate in both taste and volume, but tasted jarred. I got the 10-layer eggplant. Now, I love eggplant parm and I see where they were going with this, but it was just SO cheesy. I love cheese and marinara and eggplant and all that jazz, but this singular dish probably contained 2 lbs (no joke) of cheese condensed into a 5"x5" square. I know there was eggplant in there (finely sliced, like on a mandolin thin). I know there was sauce in there (there was some swirled around the dish). However, all I could taste was...cheese. This is the first, and likely will be the last, time I ever complain about too much cheese. Practical notes: I didn't see any super dinginess like other reviews state, but I also didn't go to the bathroom. Your mileage may vary. Parking is a niiiiiiiightmaaaaaaare even when the restaurant isn't busy. Make sure your parallel parking skills are up to date or try and squeeze into one of the lots. Portions are large, so order accordingly. If you order something with cheese and are even remotely sensitive to dairy, bring your Lactaid and triple the dose. NOTE: this is not actual medical advice.

Nice neighborhood restaurant. We typically order takeout…read more Recommendations: Italian Nachos, fried ravioli, Antipasti Salad, Pizzas Cons - Pasta dishes are too cheesy

This is another underground Huntsville secret, didn't know it exsited until we found it. So, the food... I'm an Italian food snob, I've travelled internationally and been to some pretty darn good places... and this is simply incredible! Try the Festa di Frutti di Mare. The sauces are excellent, pasta perfectly cooked, portions are perfect for a left over meal (and it gets even better!), the service is really good and plenty of parking. This should be 5 stars and threatening the other higher end Italian restaurants, but... the food punches above it's class, it needs to be in a nicer setting, not saying this to dissuade a visit, no, please do go, but it deserves a nicer place and upgraded wine list when they do.

Could this possibly be a low key sleeper/high key banger of a local Italian restaurant in…read moreHuntsville? On first pass... It's a big possibility. Terranova (in Madison) and Bravo both went to the upper room. Amerigo's, Luigi's, Osteria Luca, Mangia, Mazzara's, Nick's, and SaZa, remain. Oh there's also Nonna's and Zanotta's too... But I've not been to either yet. And then there's Terra. It's next to Newks and CiCi's pizza (which might as well be immortal) and for the life of me o can't remember what was in the space. No matter. Why? Because it's a potential strip mall gem. I just ran across one of these in the Orlando area a few months back. So we pulled up for Father's Day with a last minute reservation because, well, father's day isn't mother's day... But I REFUSED to grill. Nevertheless my little ladies made and ran the play and all I had to be was chauffeur. The staff was welcoming from the jump and didn't seem to notice how thin the crowd was. I didn't mind either, tbh... I like to find sleepers. The menu is... Fairly extensive. Apps come with the American Italian classics like bruschetta, fried calamari and fried mushrooms, and mussels but there's also crudo (yellow fin), clam casino, carpaccio, and polpette tre carni. Crab and avocado toast is what we tried in addition to the calamari and both were good. There's a gazpacho with shrimp ceviche the raised an eyebrow --maybe a little Spanish influence in the kitchen? I'll try it next time. There's a few pizzas as well from the classic margherita to prosciutto to a focosa and a scarpariello...so kids and kin For pastas, again, there's a lot. Their classic Carbonara is really good and I'll come back to see what the gnocchi, the bolognese and the linguine alle vongole The seafood risotto adds slivers of asparagus but it rivals some of the best in town. There's maybe 1 spot that tops it. Maybe. The menu features flounder, cod, and salmon along with some clucks and moos as well. I like the French lentils and rice as well. Again, an unexpected but appreciated Desserts include a homemade tiramisu, cheesecake, cannoli (pretty good) and Gelato. Food: 4.25/5.00 - I'm always coming for seafood pasta or risotto on the first run. T Atmosphere: 3.75/5.00 - It's strip mall chic. But clean. Service: 4.00/5.00 new but solid and friendly. X-factor: 4.25/5.00 access and surprise quality go hard here. Overall: 4.1/5.0 by the numbers but... There's a big surprise and solid factor that bumps this enough for me to round to 5 stars . A second visit will confirm. It's either gonna be a bar run or lunch.

Food - They serve complemetary bread and oil/vinger in a dish. It would have been nice if the…read morebread was warm and more of a traditional hard crusted Italian type. I had the Cesar Salad and Chicken Piccata dish. The food was just average. I expected more for the cost and reviews. The lettuce was fresh and cold, the croutons were ok, but the dressing was too maynaisey for me. If they used anchovies, I couldn't tell. I like the Cesar salad at Stoney River better. The Chicken Picatta was served with Linguini right out the box. I mean if you are going to tout your homemade pasta then serve it with the dish. The chicken was cut very thin and I would have liked a little more lemon flavor with the sauce as it was very slight. Service - Was very good and the wait staff very attentive. No complaints here. Ambiance - The atmosphere was mixed. It has a nice look inside with traditional Italian tables and flat wear. There was a bar with televisions on that the open floor plan made it seem out of place and was a distraction to the dining experience. The biggest draw back was the music. Very loud such that you had to talk over it, which made the whole resteraunt loud when filled. Two entrees and two glasses of average wine plus the medium Cesar salad and tip came to $114. An average meal not a great meal for an expensive price. Still looking for a great Italian place in the city.

The kind of pizza that makes you pause mid-bite and reconsider your life choices. The pasta? Let's just say if carbs are wrong, I don't want to be right. And the vibe? Pure hometown comfort. You walk in as a customer and leave feeling like you've been unofficially adopted into the family. Fair warning: once you eat here, you'll start comparing every other Italian restaurant to Alfonso's... and they're probably going to lose.

I've been critical of this place in the past. Their bread is good but reminds me of frozen, cheesy, garlic bread with extra cheese. Pizzas are good but I feel can be overvalued.
