Alessandro's Italian

Great experience at Alessandro's! We stopped in on a busy Sunday night without a reservation. The hostess, Iris, was so kind and made recommendations while we waited with a drink to sit at the bar. Once we sat we were helped by Robert and Jose, who were equally accommodating. We started with the artichoke salad appetizer, which was incredible and perfectly balanced with the grilled vegetables and goat cheese. We also tried the eggplant appetizer, equally delicious. For entrees, my husband had the bucatini carbonara- which was creamy, smoky, and full of flavor! One of the few places that make it the traditional way with guanciale and egg yolk and NO cream. I had the tagliatelle bolognese, the pasta was perfectly cooked and the sauce rich and flavorful. Topped with a heaping scoop of freshly grated Parmesan. Would absolutely order all of these dishes again! We were also eager to try the tiramisu for dessert, which was recommended, but were too stuffed! Will definitely be back! I also saw that they have homemade gluten free pasta, which I didn't not try but definitely sent to a friend who is gluten free!
