    This was one of the few places that didn’t have someone yelling at you to come inside and eat at. We were seated promptly. Food was very good. We ate the calamari, crab cakes, shrimp and fries, clam chowder. Crab cakes were my favorite of all. They gave us a sundae on the house for celebrating our 6th anniversary there. My only complaint was that there was no music or anything other than customers speaking. It would be too quiet at moments.
    Abalonetti Bar and GrillResponded on March 7, 2025
    Thank you for sharing your experience, Leticia! We're so glad to hear that you enjoyed the calamari, crab cakes (our favorite too!), shrimp and fries, and clam chowder during your special celebration. It’s our pleasure to treat you with a complimentary sundae for your 6th anniversary—congratulations! We appreciate your feedback about the atmosphere, as we always strive to create a lively dining environment. We hope to welcome you back soon for more delicious moments together!

    We were traveling with our small dog, so we needed a restaurant that was dog friendly. Albonetti was great, and we were able to sit on their protected patio with a heat lamp on us (we ate there in January 2025). Our server was very kind and an excellent server. Food was very good with lots of great options. Our dog had already eaten, but they even have a doggie menu.
    Abalonetti Bar and GrillResponded on March 7, 2025
    Thank you so much for your lovely review, Elaine! We're thrilled to hear that you and your small dog enjoyed dining on our patio and appreciated the range of options we offer. It's wonderful that our team made you feel welcome as well! We look forward to having you back soon—whether it's just for the great food or to pamper your furry friend with a dish from our doggie menu. Safe travels until then!
