I take my mom here at least once a week and we all really enjoy it.

We really enjoyed the…read morebruschetta and calamari--although the calamari portion was smaller than expected for sharing, it was cooked perfectly. I didn't try the mozzarella triangles myself, but others at our table said they were delicious. For mains, we ordered the "Combination for Two," lasagna, and the special of the day, a parmesan-crusted salmon. The salmon was outstanding and cooked to perfection. The combination platter itself was very generous--easily enough for three people depending on your appetite. It came loaded with fried eggplant, two sausages, spaghetti, cheese ravioli, plus a basket of garlic bread. The bread was excellent, especially with the flavorful garlic butter seasoning. For dessert, we split the lemon cake with raspberry drizzle, which was light, refreshing, and a perfect ending to the meal. If I had one critique, it's that the red sauces across different dishes tasted very similar, which made it feel a little repetitive. That said, I definitely plan to return and try more dishes to explore the variety of flavors they have to offer.

Delicious! Admittedly it took longer than I expected for the food to come out, but the carbonara I…read moregot was some of the best I've had in a long time so I'd say the wait was worth it. I added in mushrooms for an extra $3 and overall it was a little pricey, but again it was delicious. If I have an Italian craving I can see myself ordering it again. This restaurant is located in the former Dunedin Mix, now The West End Market, so all the seating is in the central courtyard area and the only table service is for the bar, making it a good option if you're wanting to try a little bit of everything or meeting up with friends who all have different food preferences.

We've tried this place a couple of times now and had overall good experiences…read more The service is good, the servers are friendly and the bar has a nice draft selection. The chicken Marsala needs improvement, the sauce didn't have great flavor and the chicken was not seasoned well. Using large (maybe portobello?) mushrooms provides a weird texture to the dish. On the other hand, when you cut into the Pork Chop, the heavens may part and angels sing. This chop is magnificent!!! We ordered on Wednesday night which offers a special Italian preparation with a tomato reduction sauce. The pork itself is so tender you can cut it with a fork. It melts in your mouth. GO for the pork chop! It's marvelous.

Context: I'm here in Dunedin to visit my sweet 88 yr old Mom and my dear Brother. Cafe Alfresco has…read morebeen their favorite restaurant for over a decade. My Brother lives in St Pete and takes our Mom to eat there or calls in for take-out at least 2-3 times per month. We arrived tonight (Thursday) around 7:45 PM to bypass the dinner rush. Walking in to be seated, I noticed several empty tables that had not yet been cleared with several people waiting outside to be seated. I was told "there will be at least a 10-15 minute wait, to give my name, and to wait outside." I thought maybe there were enough people waiting already to take up the empty tables, but that wasn't the case. We sat outside in the cold waiting and watching the guy stand at the bar doing nothing to help bus the empty tables, some of which were right by the window. After 15 minutes or more, we were finally called in last walking by the same uncleared tables, led to another table as the table cloth was being placed on it, no menus, no apology for the extra long (unnecessary) wait outside in the cold. When we finally placed our order, we waited some more. Finally our server said "there was a mix up and our order had not gone through." When Mom's favorite seared salmon finally arrived, it was dry and overcooked. I have never written a bad review on Yelp in my life. But, I hated to see my precious Mom & Brother treated this way. Loyal customers should not be taken for granted.
