Outstanding food and service!…read more Recently moved into the neighborhood and found Albano's when searching for Italian food. Boy did we get lucky! Focaccia bread to start (big basket) was delicious with their homemade sauce. Order of four BIG meatballs was next and they too were delicious. Tried the Corn Tortellini on a whim with a Brown Butter sauce and it was outstanding! Ended up with the Banana Cheesecake as our server Brittany told us the Mom of the owner (Nick) makes all the desserts. Chatted with Nick on the way out, and he was very gracious and appreciative. Tons of leftovers and very reasonably priced. Definitely back soon to try more of the menu

I'm actually mad at myself I haven't tried this place sooner! This was the best spaghetti and…read moremeatballs I've ever had. The bread was also soft and fluffy, and it also comes with some oil & the Mariana sauce. I tried a few pieces of the tortellini from the group I was with, and that was just as amazing too. I would do a tortellini flight if I could (lol)! I thoroughly enjoyed the customer service, especially being able to watch the chefs make your food for you to watch. We saw the owner in the kitchen, and it makes you feel even more comforted that the owner is cooking as well. I would absolutely love to come back here! Thank you so much for an amazing dish!

Come for the meat and cheese counter, stay for the nook in the back of the store where all of the…read moregorgeous bottles of wine live. Actually, in my case, I came for the wine nook. I read that this is a good place to find a great bottle of wine, and it's true. Old World Market will satisfy the indulgent, bougie food lover in you -- the food lover who likes pretty charcuterie boards made from thinly sliced prosciutto shaped into flowers. And it will indulge the wine lover in you -- the one who likes a good glass of wine. It's a small store. Surprisingly small, actually! But along with wine and meats and cheeses, you'll find specialty food items like Swedish Pippi Longstocking candy (what?), pasta in all shapes and sizes, cookies, teas, oils and lots of imported goodies. You'll mostly find food imported from Europe: Italy and Nordic countries, specifically. They offer readymade sandwiches and small charcuterie boxes to go, for those of us who want to live deliciously but also have stuff to do elsewhere. Basically, this is a great place to visit to find something delectable to eat or drink in Valparaiso.

Being a first timer there I asked and clerk about the menu and decided on the Philly cheese steak and asked about the pesto chicken she recommended the pesto and said I could split the meal. did not knowi of a 2 dollar surcharge at that time nothing was said to me. I did not look at the Paper menu because I had questions from their signage. There is a mention of the charge on the paper menu. My point is I think I should have been told at the time of ordering that there will be a surcharge. The tomato soup and French onion was bland had no flavoring and was expensive 6.25 for 12oz. The chicken pesto was overcooked the Philly was dry but eatable. I would like the business to succeed but I would not recommend.

Kept making light of it and then rushed to make order again but didn't leave vegetables in steamer the full minute and argued with me they didn't even need a minute in the machine which then why did the first staff member waste that time doing it the first go round? I ended up leaving without the noodles because the younger staff member who threw this off the counter all over the floor the first time was so incredibly rude and flippant about it that it wasn't worth the $10 I was out. Not surprised when I got on here and they had a 2 star review.

Since I'm addicted to chocolate, my choice was the Brownie Cascade milkshake. It was all that hoped for with its creaminess and overload of chocolate flavor. The best part?

There's quite a lot of flavors to get among these. Came here because it was hot and we needed to get cool. It's in an unassuming area along Milwaukee Avenue in a plaza.

With these you can get a few flavors. Best one was the Lemon Basil. This had a combination of herby and tangy. Also had the Pink Grapefruit. This one had a citrusy sweetness. Has a lot of flavors.
