I like this place they make good food. I really like their chicken masala it is a bit different than typical marsala I did not taste a lot of the wine but it was good and i have gotten it often. I have in the past gotten the chicken parmigiana sub and it is really good. One thing they use great bread for their subs I have also gotten the steak and cheese very good read more

Had a very bad experience at Alfredo's Kitchen. Ordered a pasta dinner and side salads. While eating the pasta dinner, I came across a large rubber band in the food. When I brought it to the attention of Alfredo, the owner, he lost his temper, became extremely angry, and started yelling at me. He didn't seem to want to take responsibility, and even seemed to insinuate that I may have been responsible (which was ridiculous). He refunded my dinner and rudely told me to never order from him again and never come back (even though I've been a customer for several years). I told him his response was very unfair, and he responded by saying he didn't care about fair, he cared about making money for his family. I have never been treated so disrespectfully. This is no way to talk to a customer. DON'T EAT HERE!! This owner has a very bad attitude and does not deserve your business. He is not interested in the quality of his food, his only concern is his ego! read more

Ordered online. Didn't taste bad but wouldn't order again. The Alfredo sauce was really thin, almost the thickness of a creamy soup instead of an Alfredo sauce. It tasted good but I wasn't a fan of the consistency. Also I got a pasta dish with chicken/spinach/broccoli but there was no broccoli in it at all and just 3-4 chunks of chicken. It also wasn't packaged well, the sauce was so thin and the container wasn't pushed down all the way around so around a third of the sauce spilt and soaked through the bag. Other than these issues it did taste good! read more

Small place. Good food. Reasonable prices. The shrimp scampi surprised me with how bright the lemon came through and it was seasoned very well. Not a big place but sometimes that's exactly what you want. read more

Hidden gem. Superb food. Kind staff. Good prices. I was expecting pre-cooked, warmed up tortellini but was delighted when I watched him drop the fresh pasta in the pot. The basil pesto sauce is delicious. Fresh, warmed baguette served on the side was a treat. Not to mention the delicious, authentic cannolis. read more

If you're in Boston gotta have Italian food. A very reasonably priced option for great Italian food is Alfredo's in Brighton. Very easy to find on a corner right on Brighton Ave. it's a one man operation with a full menu. What we like about the menu is that you can order any pasta with any sauce. This time we used DoorDash and ordered the Mongibello pizza, linguine carbonara and ravioli in meat sauce. And cannoli for dessert ;-). Everything, of course, was very tasty and well made with the freshest ingredients. Prices a super reasonable, the one dude is real nice. When we go in-person we enjoy chatting with him. Highly recommend Alfredo's for good Italian food. read more

Great small restaurant that if you don't know it's there you'll go right past it. One man operation and the food was fantastic. Pricing was great for the portion received. I'll definitely be going back there in the future true authentic Italian food read more

We order from Alfredo's Italian at home & work all the time and a few weeks ago I mentioned to a Co-worker go find Alfredo's and not knowing she found this place, I realized it wasnt the same but hey, we went with it... AND IM SOO GLAD WE DID... This place was SOOO much better than the Chainy little one around Boston. The food was so much more authentic and not Pizza shop like. Flavors were fresh, portions weren't as CRAZY giant as the other Alfredo's, but I would trade that for the taste any day. It was still MORE than enough food. The tortellini was insane delicious and the Shrimp was Giant & flavorful. Will definitely plan to order again! read more

3.5/5 would be more accurate, but overall, a reasonable value. The Good: - Reasonable Garlic Bread (strangely difficult to find at other places) - Chicken Marsala with Mushrooms (nice large shrooms, tasty sauce) - Amount of pasta, in general, good. - Tiramisu (apparently homemade?) was quite reasonable. The Meh: - Chicken Broccoli Ziti - plenty of broccoli (yay), but alfredo sauce lacks flavor (other reviews were correct) - drastically improved after adding our own sea salt and freshly ground pepper. - Shrimp Fra Diavolo - very sparse flavor in the sauce, what there was wasn't spicy - we didn't want more sauce (though it was dry), just wanted more flavor. Improved by adding salt and pepper. Overall: Reasonable value for the money, but maybe other dishes are better. The things we'd repeat are the Marsala, the tiramisu, and maybe the garlic bread. read more

Thank you Alfredo! The food is always freshly made and delicious. I can't wait to eat again here! read more

The quality of the food at Alfredo's never disappoints. My fiancée and I have ordered multiple times and we've made it a Valentine's Day tradition to order from here every year. Highly recommend! read more

My husband and I used to come here a lot. It's been a while since our last visit. Alredo's food is still as good as we remember, even better. Tonight, we went to Alfredo's late and we were the only customers, so we chatted with the owner, Alfredo, over random topics, which made our dinner experience as cozy as we ate at an old friend's place, very pleasant. We ordered seafood pasta with white wine sauce and marinara sauce. Both of them were great. The tiramisu was also very tasty. The place is tiny, but Alfredo offers authentic Italian food, and that's what all counts. Definitely a hidden gem in Allston/Brighton. read more

I've been wanting to try this place for a while, due to the great reviews and it being so close to my house. I finally was able to order delivery from here today for lunch. One thing to be aware of - they advertise free delivery on their sign and website but they actually don't deliver themselves, only through DoorDash. Onto the food- I ordered the frutti di Mare with homemade pasta, which was very good. The sauce (garlic white wine) was creamier that I expected, but was pretty good, and the seafood was fresh and delicious. My boyfriend ordered the tortellini al pesto, which was also great. He remarked that the tortellino (is that the singular?) were large. However, the sauce was a little oily. Overall, Alfredo's lived up to a majority of my expectations but wasn't as mind blowing as I'd hoped. That being said, I am excited to try other pastas and sauces here. read more

Everything on the menu is good. One man show nice guy usually starts a good conversation definitely deserves business

Hidden gem super nice atmosphere and really great price for everything pasta was perfect and super reasonable price

A great spot for takeout or grabbing a small table. The chicken arrabbiata was perfect. My only regret is that I can't stay to try every dish. read more

Delicious I would highly recommend trying this place out! Family owned business guy runs it all alone. But very quick has the delicious food ready in a timely manner read more

My friends from college have been regulars at Alfredo's for years, so the owner greeted us enthusiastically upon arrival. This was my first time, so I had high expectations based on my friends' experiences. It's a really small, hole in the wall type of place, and I definitely recommend calling ahead to check if the place will be open by the time you're there. I saw previous reviews that recommended the homemade pasta. I ordered the mussels scampi with homemade pasta and it was soooo good. The pasta was perfectly cooked. I tried all of my friends dishes as well, and I could say the quality was pretty consistent. After our meal, we also tried the homemade tiramisu and cannolis. Everything was so good that we ordered more. Although I'm not a cannoli expert, I really enjoyed the mini cannolis at Alfredo's, and I'll definitely be getting them the next time I'm there as well. Overall, Alfredo's met my high expectations. Forget the north end. 1/2 the price and equal portions--this will be my go to Italian spot moving forward. read more

10/10 would return, great price great portions and simply delicious comfort food! My shrimp scampi standards are high and this exceeded them! Support this excellent local business. read more

Honestly, this is the best pasta I've ever had. The owner is super nice and suggested I try his fresh fusilli, which turned out to be AMAZING with the vodka sauce (what my mom ordered). I had the linguini with shrimp, mussels, and clams. It was perfect. Light on the sauce but still full of flavor and not at all dry, like other people have said. The seafood didn't taste fishy. Everything was delicious, and the price wasn't bad! The owner is incredibly sweet as well. I'm visiting Boston from Seattle, but I will DEFINITELY come back here if I get the chance again. My mom and I are thinking of going back for lunch tomorrow :) read more

This guy is like one of those street acts where one person plays the drums, the guitar and does the vocals in a special booth that he built himself. Bascially this place is a small booth where this one man can just about reach every pot, pan, and container by himself. Watching him cook is like watching that one man band belting out a tune. He's all hands and arms in every which direction. Stirring some pasta here, ladding sauce on another dish there, and plating order and order. I'm surprised he didn't try to do some of it with his feet. I am not sure how he keeps it all straight. I got some Shrimp Fra Diavalo to go. I opted for the homemade pasta. Overall I thought the sauce was very good. The homemade pasta was good too, but a bit too doughy...I prefer something with more chew to it The garlic bread was really good, and the portions were generous with plently of good size shrimp in the dish. read more

I'm going to keep this simple: The food from Alfredo's was so good, I ate my meal too fast to take a picture. I ordered the Arancini and a Chicken Cutlet dinner with homemade Fusilli. The Arancini was good, but the pasta was great. The sauce had great flavor and the texture of the pasta was perfect. The portions are also generous, they definitely don't skimp on servings. I recommend this place to anyone who's craving a delicious Italian dinner and I will be adding Alfredos's to my quarantine delivery rotation :) read more

- SCENE: I am on the tail-end of a very nasty bout of the flu and was out of food. I trudged over to the very conveniently located Alfredo's for some food, and was so hungry I elected to eat there instead of wasting the 10 minutes walking back with it. Thanks to the man behind the counter (Alfredo?) for sparing me judgement, despite my mouth-breathing, matted hair, sweats (that I had put on backwards, I realized) covered in cat hair, and crusty nose. Anyway-- - THE SPACE: Small. I assume they most of their business from takeaway and delivery (I would suggest calling them instead of ordering through foodler, etc to avoid any delivery costs/costly minimum charges.) They do have a couple of seats (enough for 6-7 people) and a TV. - THE FOOD: So cheap given the portion size. I got the pesto gnocchi with chicken (you can add chicken or shrimp for a couple of bucks) and could only finish a third of it. The gnocchi was pillowy, the pesto was delicious and totally un-canned, and the chicken was (surprisingly) moist and crispy. Comes with some very garlic-y garlic bread. The whole thing cost about $10. Have since gone back twice. Pay the extra money for homemade pasta. It's worth it. And, if there's space, eat there because there's something magical about watching them pour your pasta from the pan to the bowl and diving into your food immediately afterwards. read more

Alfredo's - Chicken Parm Primavera Pizza Lobster Ravioli with Shrimps Carbonara Pesto - Italian Near Me - Allston, Massachusetts

I'm extremely disappointed with my delivery order/experience which is frustrating because the other reviews really had me looking forward to it. I ordered a cheese calzone with meatball, eggplant and ricotta. The total order came to about $14 and I opted to pay cash. When the driver arrived he just shrugged and said he didn't have change. I understand you can't expect them to break large bills but how do you not have change for a $20?! I wasn't going to refuse to pay for my order (though at this point I'm wishing I had) so I handed the guy his $6 tip. After that I could have used a really good calzone but was again disappointed. I'm giving 2 stars because the meatball and eggplant were flavorful - but with no marinara or sauce (maybe it was just missing?) every bite was just dry and bready. The toppings were all in the center so each end of the calzone was just a flavorless hunk of bread. Worst of all, the Ricotta seems to have gone sour. Nothing about this experience was worth the $20. I feel taken advantage of. read more

Alfredo, the sweetest old man, invites you into his personal kitchen. He makes the pasta and dresses it to perfection. The Eggplant parm is juicy yet contained between two slices of toasted sub, the pasta pesto is creamy and seasoned tastefully, the pasta puttanesca satisfies and keeps you full for a while. This place should not be overlooked because of its size. Going to Alfredo's feels like a guilty pleasure. Also: try the espresso. I'd say it's the best espresso in Boston (even better than those fancy downtown coffee shops). read more

There aren't many Italian restaurants this good that are frequently empty in the early evenings. For whatever reason, a significant number of people prefer getting Alfredo's delivered or doing takeaway. Alfredo's pasta recipes are quite simple, yet oh so delicious. It's not trying to be fancy and mixing in a ton of different ingredients, it's all about getting the right taste and texture. The ingredients are fresh, a bonus for a no-frills restaurant with only three tables. Traditional homemade pasta is the way to go here to get that al dente goodness Alfredo himself runs the restaurant single-handedly and is often very busy multi-tasking as a result, but if you can catch him when he's got a free moment, he's also friendly and fun to talk to. read more

Having eaten at Alfredo's several times since my first review, I am updating my rating from 3 to 4 stars. Although my first experience at Alfredo's was less than stellar (see previous review), every subsequent experience has been great. The food that I have had since my first visit has all been really good. As an aside, I highly recommend ordering the homemade pasta (it's only an additional $1.75). Tidbits: -Sauces I've had & would recommend: alfredo, bolognese, & pesto. -Try the garlic bread with cheese ($3) read more
