    Appetizers, meals, and desserts were very good. Drinks were good too. Service was great. We were outside in tent and a bit warm for only in low 70’s, but fans were going. Nice music started at 7:00.

    We have celebrated many occasions at Aliano’s. The food and service was ALWAYS 10/10. Yesterday, was beyond disappointing to see the restaurant empty but most of all the service and food was awful. There were more servers looking at you eat than restaurant attendees. My favorite dish was always the risotto and it was beyond dreadful. It's disappointing to see the new owners have let this once crowded authentic restaurant be turned into a ghost town with terrible food.

    Great atmosphere and enjoyed the live music. Sound was not too loud on the patio and could still converse with the musician playing. Food was delicious and good variety.

    Phenomenal Italian food. Have the Rigatoni/Sausage. Wed night is 1/2 off a bottle of vino. Quality and value is hard to find these days. Aliano’s has it.

    First and foremost, I want to highlight that the bartender who served us was excellent, and our experience should not reflect negatively on them, as the issues we faced were entirely out of their control. My husband and I visited specifically to enjoy the Romano pizza and salad for Mother's Day. However, we were told upon ordering that the pizza was unavailable. We then opted for the chicken saltimbocca and a salad instead. While our salad arrived promptly, we were left waiting for an hour for our saltimbocca. Given that the restaurant was not busy, this delay was absolutely unacceptable. We had no idea it would take so long to receive our food, and it became increasingly frustrating to the point where we just wanted to leave. There are plenty of other dining establishments that offer high-quality food with much quicker service. This experience was disappointing, to say the least. We don’t dine out often, and this situation only reinforces our hesitation to dine at Aliano's in the future. Our time and money are valuable, and this was not worth either.

    Clearly something was wrong yesterday. Tables not bussed, things were generally confusing and disorganized. We had heard that there was new ownership and things had changed there. Aliano’s has been a go to for us for many years. We had been there since last fall as most of the seating is covered outdoors. Apparently there was some sort of employee incident just prior to our arrival, which involved the police. I just wished that they turned us away at our reservation - and apologized. After getting our drinks and appetizers in about 30 mins (the bread was stale) we waited another 60 minutes to get our salads and watch as other tables were getting no service or the wrong items. We asked the server how much longer for dinner and she said I think half were ready and was unsure about the rest. At that point we asked for our bill to that point and left. We were celebrating a birthday and Mother’s Day and were completely disappointed. It will be a long time before we go back to Aliano’s, without asking around if things have improved.
