    Fresh catch of the day- red snapper!  Incredible!
    Tom S.

    Finally had the opportunity to try this gem of a restaurant! Our server Corey was incredibly knowledgeable and attentive during our lunch. We had the fresh catch of the day which was red snapper and the veal saltimbocca. Both were fabulous! The fish was prepared so nicely and it's probably the best preparation we've had ever. It was still delicate and so fresh, the accompaniment of the spinach and potatoes were definitely prepared with care. I can tell this restaurant prides itself on quality of food, ambience and professionalism by the staff. If you're looking for an incredible Italian meal, Caffe Aldo Lamberti will not disappoint! Highly recommended for casual and fine dining.

    Was here with my wife for a friend's birthday and the service, food and atmosphere was outstanding. The room the party was in was spacious, the waiters were friendly and helpful and the restaurant itself was pristine.

    This was my first visit to Aldo Lamberti in years but we had a fantastic experience. Reservations were made to host 20+ people for a birthday celebration in one of their wine cellars. Since wine needs to be stored at a certain temperature, it was a little chilly down there - so dress accordingly if you have that space rented out. The space was plenty big enough to accommodate our party. Alana, our server, was fantastic. She handled just about everything on her own, having food and drink orders delivered in a timely manner and did so with professionalism and grace. Throughout the evening we had a few different drinks. I started with a Hendrix martini with a twist which never disappoints. My fiancé had an espresso martini which was smooth and velvety with a very nice foam on top. I then ordered a Black Manhattan off of their cocktail list which ended up being a top 2 Manhattan I've ever had. I finished up with a Cabernet off of their wine list. We enjoyed all of our cocktails. While I'm not complaining, I was a bit surprised at the prices given the venue and quality. I would have expected the drinks to be a little more expensive. Once everyone arrived, our server brought out multiple Antipastos for the table and some fried calamari to share. The antipasto was a large spread of assorted meats (salami & prosciutto), cheeses, vegetables, and bruschetta. The calamari was lightly fried, crisp and tender, with a mix of rings and tentacles. The dinner menu was a preselected menu with a handful of options to choose from and each came with a salad. My fiancé chose Shrimp Scampi and I had the Lamb Chops. The consensus around the table was the Shrimp Scampi was great - light and buttery. The shrimp was cooked to a firm yet tender texture and the pasta was Al dente. I had my eye on the Lamb Chops while reviewing the menu before arriving and was so happy the were an option as part of our dinner. I asked for them medium rare, which is the temperature our server recommended, and they were cooked to perfection. They were tender and flavorful, and the presentation was beautiful. I wouldn't hesitate to order it again. I was very much impressed with the night we had at Aldo. Our server did such a great job accommodating such a large party and many different requests. The experience in the wine cellar was unique and was spacious enough to comfortably and easily seat 20+ guests. The drinks and food were very enjoyable and worth the price. Aldo is a great option for a weekend dinner especially if you're looking for an upscale option that won't break the bank!

    This was our first time at here. The food was so good and I don't even eat salmon. Are waiter remember everyone ordered. We was their for a complimentary conference. The restaurant is beautiful. They have private rooms to have events. I didn't care that we had to park in the back and when we left it was dark back behind the restaurant. And the bathroom was not clean and water coming from the bottom of the toilet. And the waste basket was over flow. The host was very greeting when we came in to the restaurant and when we left. They even sell items at the front of the restaurant. I have to go back for the happy hour because I love a good one.

    First bite! Crab claw meat!

    I love this place. Met a friend for late lunch - seated in a beautiful all glass room. The waiters were attentive. We had claws with mustard & lime and the calamari - fantastic! We ordered some drinks -their old fashioned was really good. Main course, whole fish with vegetables and the veal with capellini & mushrooms. They all surprised me with a pumpkin cheesecake for my birthday! This place never disappoints- I highly recommend it!

    pepper crusted salmon and no-groni mocktail
    Mallory S.

    this is a lovely upscale Italian restaurant with lots of fresh seafood options. they have free valet, and keep in mind the dress code is business casual. I had the pepper crusted salmon which came with leeks, spinach, and potatos in a very light citrus sauce (could barely taste the citrus at all which I liked), and I have to say I think it was the most delicious salmon I've ever had! the creme brulee was also scrumptious. everyone enjoyed their meals. i will say I wish the specials menu was written instead of spoken, it was hard to hear with all the noise of the restaurant and our waiter's accent. I would also like to see more vegetarian options personally. however there were a few pasta options so if you are vegetarian, there is something you can eat.

    Chicken parmigiana
    Korrey H.

    If yelp would let you do 3.5 1/2 stars I would do that. I think I was expecting high expectations off of how the place looks outside and dress code that they have. The wine was delicious and put on ice for us nice. The minestrone soup was the best thing I had out of this meal! The calamari I feel like could have been crispier. The New York strip was cooked nicely, tasted average. The chicken parm is where is was ehhh I feel like it didn't have a seasoning in it. It was insipid. The Frutti de Bosco was yummy. Cheesecake normal. The waiter was pretty on top of it at least. Overall, just average and wouldn't really look to go again.

    Beautiful family owned restaurant. You will sit down as stranger and leaving feeling like family, and will dream of the food until you come back! The owner and his daughter are lovely people !

    Halibut special (4/13/23). Fantastic!

    Sexy restaurant! Caffe Aldo Lamberti has been a staple in our rotation for some time now. Our visits have primarily been happy hour related, mixed in with a few private parties along the way. The bar area is wide enough to order dinner (and sides) and the seats are comfortable enough to not give you "numb ass" a half hour in. Their wine list is extensive, and they have special cocktails that rotate in and out every few months. We love the outdoor patio seating! The area by the bar has a nice, open-air feel due to the large windows that are left open during the warmer months. It's a true professionals crowd during happy hour. Not a bad idea to visit if you're looking to see and be seen, just sayin'. I would visit this place for the breadbasket alone. Their focaccia is heavenly, and I wind up filling up on it every time I visit. When in Rome!

    How much was the valet and is there parking outside of valet?

    Valet is free, you can tip when the car is retrieved. There is parking on the side and back of the building as well.

    Is this place casual dress? Are jeans ok?

    I think jeans are appropriate as long as long as you look nice. Personally I would not wear them to Cafe Lamberti I prefer dressing up. The ambience and the food is what your going for. Enjoy!!

We ordered appetizers, including the mussels, which were incredibly plump with a delicious white wine broth. The calamari had the perfect level of breading and was well seasoned.

The risotto was more toothsome than I'm used to but still very good and went well with the accompanying arugula salad. Other things we ordered were the generously portion salmon, the bolognese and the penne à la vodka. It is spacious but cozy at the same time and everyone was so nice and helpful.

In passing we mentioned it only when asked by our server if we liked it that it had lacked flavor. To our surprise she took it off our bill. This is the kind of service you really don't find anymore and one of the reasons I like coming back to tutti toscani. I ordered the veal which is always good, large lump crab on top. My husband got the trio of pasta but only enjoyed two of the three. The rest of the table raved about the mushroom special almost licking the plate clean - I am not a fans of mushrooms so I'll trust them. Overall I always enjoy coming here, I don't feel like I've been ripped off when the bill hits the table and service is usually good. I do enjoy sitting outside better than inside when able it's a prettier feel to me.

I do not eat seafood and was confused by the fishy smell and presence of meat. Luckily it was a simple cross-table mixup. Furthermore, the mushroom gnocchi was horrible. It was made with pure whipping cream, which is probably a valid Italian approach, but it had to have been 100g of fat, and it tasted like warm thick milk, with no flavor and minimal mushrooms. I felt sick to my stomach the rest of the night. The restaurant was packed and tastefully decorated. They have a great signature cocktail list but I couldn't hear myself or anyone at my table. Average decibel level was 85 through the course of our 90 minute stay. My ears felt raw once I got outside. Lastly, it's a mandatory (and complimentary) valet for parking. Just be prepared. If you like Italian, may be worth a shot. Folks were pleased with oysters and mashed potatoes at my table, but I have no desire to come back.
