It was cooked well, tender, and flavorful. No complaints there. For our entrées, my wife ordered the chicken Alfredo, and I went with the Tour of Italy. It included chicken parmigiana, lasagna, and fettuccine Alfredo. Everything tasted great, and the portions were huge. Definitely the kind of place where you leave full and probably with leftovers. Service was a bit slow, but given that it was Christmas Eve, that was understandable and didn't take away too much from the meal. Good food, generous portions, and a solid choice for a holiday dinner. We'd go back.

We ordered a few entrees from their lunch menu and the portions were huge. Everything was delicious. I especially enjoyed the Chicken Piccata...the sauce was light, lemony and well balanced. The ambience is nice--it's white table cloth but has a warmth to it. It would be perfect for a date night. Our server was attentive and kind spirited. This spot is a hidden gem.

Yes, it was crowded, but that's a healthy sign! In fact, we were lucky enough to find a parking space in the lot. From antipasto to dessert everything was top notch. So, we went to Italy and came back changed people. In fact, I started making my own pasta being inspired by what I experienced. There is a tremendous difference between fresh and shelf. We finally made it back to Sarrica's last Saturday, and I don't know how one could be more impressed, but they did it again! We got there early and immediately got a table. A half hour later the place was getting packed. We went straight to the Primo skipping the antipasto this time. Our food arrived quickly, and at first the portion looked smaller than before. But I was deceived! The dish was full! And delicious! And gone! I'm usually not known for cleaning my plate, but had we been in a darker corner I probably would be licking what's left! No, seriously, it's that good! This place would be popular in Sicily or Rome or Tuscany! You can tell someone in the kitchen is proud of what they're serving to be so consistent. There's no question we'll be returning - if we find a parking space!

Every time someone asks where we want to eat, Alesi is always at the top of the list. I'll admit, I usually order the pizza because it's just that good, but the few times I've ventured into other items on the menu, I've never been disappointed. Everything is fresh, flavorful, and made with care. It's truly sad to hear they're selling the business. Alesi isn't just another pizza place--it's a Lafayette staple and a place that has created so many great memories for families like mine. I sincerely hope the new owners preserve what has made this restaurant so special. If you've never been, do yourself a favor and go while you can. You won't regret it.

The quality and flavor of the food here was amazing and the prices were so reasonable! The veal pannata was delicious, great size sized dish. The veal was flatted and fried perfectly! Anything on the menu I don't think you could go wrong with! ALSO this was our first time here and I have to mention the pallet cleanser with the lemon sorbet was just an extra special touch! Also, they do not have a dessert menu, inside they have a dessert tray that they come out and show you!!! SERVICE: we had Casey as our server and she was great! She gave us recommendations as well listed all of the specials for us! We came on a Wednesday evening so it was pretty dead, but excellent service! AMBIANCE: the ambiance is incredible. I truly have nothing bad to say about this restaurant. You walk in and it feels like a luxury restaurant, but you don't break the bank on one dish! Everything was clean, moody, and perfect for a date night or celebration! If anything it was a little chilly so I'd recommend bringing a jacket!

It reminds me of a restaurant back in the 80's or early 90's so could use updating but still a clean nice place. The service was friendly. I ordered the chicken parmesan and it was just ok. The chicken & spaghetti were room temperature so I'm not sure if the chicken is suppose to be served this temperature since I'm not Italian but I wasn't impressed. The sauce was super dark, another thing I'm not sure about but it needed more spices. My friend had the crepes and they were crispy so she really enjoyed them! I might go back to try another dish but not sure as of now.

First off, the restaurant is absolutely adorable. There's a beautiful wine wall when you walk in, and they even offer a stack of wines you can purchase for $30 with no corkage fee, which is such a great deal. We ended up getting two bottles. We were seated in the back area, which was quiet with just a few other groups around. It was a really cute and cozy space. We ordered: * Arancini: good flavor, but a little dry. * Burrata: absolutely phenomenal. The cheese was delicious, and the beets and tomatoes tasted incredibly fresh and organic. * Chicken Piccata: this completely stole the show. The chicken was perfectly cooked and had so much flavor. The pasta served alongside it was very plain though. * Alla Vodka with Shrimp (added): we added shrimp for some extra protein. The dish was definitely on the heavier side. Our waitress recommended it, but I probably would have chosen something else if I had known. It was very rich. The one thing worth noting is that our appetizers came out pretty quickly, probably within 10-15 minutes, but we ended up waiting close to an hour for our entrées. They definitely should have paced the appetizers out a little better if the main courses were going to take that long to arrive. Overall, the service was phenomenal, the atmosphere was charming, and the wine specials were fantastic. I'd definitely come back, especially for the chicken piccata.

It took awhile for us to get a reservation here, and I now under the hype. The whole experience was…read moreexcellent. We were greeted and seated immediately. Our table was near the bar, which was packed. I assume this is why the room was very loud - so loud it was hard to hear the person across the table. That was our only negative note of the evening. Our server acknowledged us almost immediately and was attentive but not intrusive throughout the evening.We ordered drinks which were served surprisingly quickly considering how busy the bar was. We accepted the offer of bread, which was an outstanding focaccia. We started with the crudo - it changes and was yellowtail that night. It was super fresh, perfectly sliced and trimmed (no icky bits), and simply dressed with lemon, olive oil, salt and crushed pink peppercorns. I had a mista salad, which was great, but my husband's Caesar stole the show. The dressing was clearly house made and the best we've had in a long time. I ordered the pork cheeks, and they were tender, very rich and flavorful. I was pleasantly surprised that the polenta was delectable in its own right and not just a bland base. The portion size was huge. My husband ordered the special, a white puttanesca with shrimp. It was deliciously complex and the shrimp were perfectly cooked. We took dessert to go - tiramisu and a cannoli. Both were superb. One of the owners checked in with us, which is a practice that's become much less common but is always appreciated. His pride in the establishment and pleasure at our enjoyment were apparent. I can see why this place is so popular and I'm sure it will become a part of our rotation.

The service is usually quite good, although we have had a couple of misses. The old house is beautiful and creates a great atmosphere, but it could use a refresh in some areas - for example, the carpet and restrooms are worn and dated. This last visit was with friends, and we arrived on the late side without reservations but were greeted with smiles and never rushed. We had sautéed crab claws to start, which are served in a sauce similar to New Orleans style barbeque shrimp. They were large and tender, and the sauce was great for bread dipping. We ordered seafood pasta (sorry, no photo), chicken Parmesan, veal osso bucco, and paneed veal. All were delicious and perfectly cooked, served hot and fresh. Portions are generous - I had lunch for another day. We were too full for dessert, but there will be a next time!

Food and ambiance is always wonderful. Would recommend for any special time out with your loved one.read more
