    Al Fresco is one of my favorite places for fine Italian dining. I especially like to dine here when friends or family are visiting from out of town as there are many dishes to select from, one for almost every palate. Ronnie, the owner, greeted us on a arrival in such a friendly manner, we felt like family. Our waitress, Bee, was most attentive and checked on us just enough to make sure everything was good with our meal and that we had everything we needed. I enjoyed the Linguini Pescatore (a dish I've ordered here several times and each time the seafood has been fresh, the linguini has been al dentes, and the white wine sauces has been seasoned perfectly. My cousin enjoyed the mushroom ravioli and we both enjoyed the eggplant with ricotta and mozzarella appetizer. Outstanding evening of dining out thanks to Al Fresco.

    I love eating here. Everytime I visit the food is always excellent. From the fresh hot bread, Chicken Parm and Tiramisu. Every meal was delicious. If you haven’t been you need too. You wont be disappointed in anything you order. Prices are very reasonable and portion size is good. I had leftovers which heated up good. Hats off to the chef and staff. Keep doing what your doing and stay consistent.

    After our superb luncheon earlier this week at Al Fresco, we invited best-friend neighbors from Smithfield to join us for dinner tonight. They are originally from the West Coast, and had never visited the restaurant before… although they’d frequented the Deli nearby several times. They were both impressed by the restaurants’ layout and ambience…and equally impressed by the menu and “Special” selections.  Our meal (and wine servings) could not have been more enjoyable.
