Dinner at Alacati Mediterranean Restaurant…read more Had the best time visiting Alacati Mediterranean Restaurant for dinner with my daughter! We had such a wonderful experience. The service was great, the atmosphere was lovely, and the food was absolutely delicious. The restaurant offers Turkish and Greek-inspired Mediterranean cuisine, featuring grilled meats, fresh seafood, and handmade mezze. We started with drinks a Cosmo and a Mango Margarita.the Char-Grilled Octopus as an appetizer, and it was delicious! For our main course, we shared the Mixed Grill, which included lamb chops, meat patties, chicken, and Adana, served with grilled vegetables and Orzo Pilav. Everything was flavorful, tender, and perfectly prepared. We also had the Lahmacun, topped with ground meat and finely chopped vegetables--so delicious and full of flavor! Of course, we had to finish with dessert! The Kazandibi was silky and creamy, with a beautiful caramelized base and delicate hints of mastic and rose water. The perfect way to end our meal! Overall, we had an amazing dinner and enjoyed every bite. It was a wonderful evening with my daughter, and we will definitely be back to try more of the delicious dishes on the menu!

It's a kind of place that you come with your family start with a Mediterranean sampler because of course it's going to bring a little bit of everything then the chicken Shawarma, which, with the creamiest dreamier sauce the halloumi but those lamb chops I think my biggest regret was not ordering more of the lamb chops, like I was literally drooling on that. There's even a seven spaces burger with actual lamb. You have to check them out.

Avoid this place at all costs…read more This was easily one of the worst dining experiences I've ever had. The falafel was terrible, the chicken kebob plate was awful, and the overall food quality was completely unacceptable for somewhere calling itself Mediterranean cuisine. The dish claimed to come with peppers there was literally one tiny piece in the entire kebab. The chicken had no flavor and tasted poorly, and the rice was completely off, more like Mexican rice than anything remotely Mediterranean. What's even more frustrating is the way the staff handled it. When we raised concerns, they didn't take any responsibility and brushed it off as if the issue was on us. No attempt to fix the problem, no acknowledgment just dismissive and unprofessional. And somehow, they charge a mandatory 20% service fee for this. For what? There was zero service, zero care, and zero effort to make things right. Charging customers extra while delivering this level of food and attitude is unacceptable. Do not waste your time or money here. There are far better options out there. Honestly, I'd take store-bought hummus from Publix over this. If you actually want good Mediterranean food and proper service, go to Ethos instead it's night and day. This place is not worth it.

Another lovely Italian dinner for me very much worth the drive!…read more I found Gioia to meet up with a very good friend who lives in the area and is also a connoisseur of Italian dining. She pointed out that their pizzas had one various culinary awards so, and from our experience yesterday, I can vouch that this is very true; it's a great spot for a casually classy date night. Our server - and even who I believe was the manager - came by the table to check on us. We started with a robust glass of their cabernet sauvignon and enjoyed fresh warm bread, then continued with their meatball appetizer. The three meatballs were juicy, tender and served with a robust marinara sauce & creamy mozzarella slices. Then came our yummy main course: With a airy and lightly crispy crust, their "Passeri" pizza was perfect for two. With sharp parmigiana reggiano, arugula, bacon, mozzarella, fig jelly and balsamic glaze our pie was a tasty combination of flavors. Their chocolate panna cotta garnished with whipped cream and a strawberry was a perfect sweet ending, along with their live music / karaoke.

It is inspired in the amalfi coast because of all the lemons and fresh flavors. We came during the week as it is only open for dinner and didn't want to deal with the weekend crazies. We tried their spritz lemonica (prosecco, limoncello and soda) and their lemonica martini (vodka, limoncello and orange liqueur). Both were delicious and the martini was creamy which was surprising. The server brought a complimentary small plate of baked (?) pizza dough in the shape of triangles to start. We ordered their cheese board which came with a tiny pitcher of honey and blueberries and almonds. 4 or 5 different cheeses: Parmesan, a smoky one that was good, Brie and two others I can't remember. For main dishes we tried the rigatoni allá vodka and two meatballs and the pasta alla carbonara with chicken. Pasta was fresh and everything was good. Carbonara could have used a little bit of salt but that's neither here nor there. Unfortunately we didn't try their desserts or pizzas so we will be going back for that. Street parking is available, just plan ahead. Specially on weekends.

Around 8 PM, the restaurant started getting really packed. There were only two full-time servers, and you could definitely tell they were a little understaffed for how busy it was. That said, our food didn't take too long to come out, and the service was still good considering how busy they were. We started with the Caesar salad, then ordered the rigatoni alla vodka and a margarita pizza. Everything was really yummy, and honestly, no complaints! I'd definitely come back again.

The restaurant offers both indoor and outdoor seating, each providing a comfortable and inviting atmosphere depending on your mood. The wine menu is thoughtfully curated and pairs nicely with the dishes, enhancing the overall dining experience. The food itself was good, with solid execution across the board. Service stood out in a positive way--attentive and well-managed. It was great to see even the supervisor checking in with tables, which adds a nice personal touch and shows a commitment to hospitality. I hope they continue to focus on maintaining fresh ingredients, consistently tasty dishes, and a clean, welcoming environment. If they do, Murano by Ferraro has all the potential to become a go-to spot in the area.
