Morgan did a fantastic job helping my daughter with gluten free options. My daughter has celiac and her knowledge on the topic was amazing.

Had an incredible experience here with high-quality food and service! They gracefully accommodated our large group (including seven kids!). Despite our dietary restrictions (gluten/dairy), we had numerous menu choices for appetizers, dinner, drinks, and desserts. The servers were so kind and hospitable and put together a big table for us. We felt very welcomed and would be thrilled to eat here again.

Gluten friendly options and the staff at the Boardman Ohio location is awesome to give me advice on which sauce had gluten. They go above and beyond that too! After working a long week I ate by myself on a Friday evening and had the 5 piece rib and smoked burger without the bun. 10/10 but the friendly staff surprised me with a complimentary desert and a free sandwich coupon as a random act of kindness! Pay it forward people!

Absolutely great food and great service! Tony personally made sure my husband and I had gluten free accommodations as well as other people that were in the same party as us that were also gluten free. I would highly recommend!

First off, the restaurant is beautiful. While unassuming from the outside, the inside was gorgeous and decorated perfectly for Christmas. I have celiac and this restaurant was recommended to me because of their gf options. I was so happy to hear all that they could make gf and the server was so kind and knowledgeable and was great at making recommendations. We ordered drinks and appetizers and prior to those arriving, put in our dinner order. Up until this point it was a wonderful experience. The appetizers were delivered and were phenomenal but after that, it kind of felt like we were forgotten about. Our food didn’t arrive until 55 minutes after we ordered entrees. It was about a 45 minute gap between apps and entrees. I don’t know if I would’ve minded had our server stopped by more to keep us informed or check in. She did stop by after we waited about 40 minutes and said it should be ready soon and attributed the wait to having to boil new water for gluten free pasta. I’m not sure if this is the norm there but is just something to keep in mind if you’re gluten free that it may be quite a long wait. Unfortunately I can’t comment on dessert because we had somewhere to be and we had already spent nearly 2 hours at the restaurant already. Maybe this was just one slow experience but again, something to keep in mind especially if gluten free.

We have always come back to Alberini’s because in the past it has been excellent. Tonight, not so much. In past experiences, we were asked if we were celebrating something special, and if we were, the staff would be extra attentive, and on one occasion we got a free dessert. I’m gluten intolerant, so they gave me a rich chocolate gluten free torte. The food has always been top notch, and matched the prices, which are not cheap. Tonight, however, the service was not great. We were not impressed with the waitress. She slammed things down on the table, and treated us more like we were at Denny’s. Alberini’s is supposed to be fine-dining, not a diner, and the prices are reflected in that. As such, a waiter/waitress should behave accordingly. She was friendly enough, but had no finesse. My salad was served without the Gorgonzola, and my husband said the pasta he ordered was not good, at all, and didn’t finish it. My father in law couldn’t finish his pasta because it was so over-poweringly loaded with garlic.The waitress never asked if we were celebrating something, and she told us point blank they don’t have gluten free desserts. Funny, coz I’ve been there several times, and have always had the gf choc cake. She blamed the chef for not adding the cheese to the salad, and said, ‘it’s because he’s new.’ The wine we ordered was nowhere near a full glass, but we were definitely still charged full price; The staff at the desk slouched, and were wearing jeans. Not a good look for a fine-dining restaurant. We ordered the deep fried calamari, which didn’t compare to past visits. It was way too salty. Maybe the new chef is the problem, here. Overall, though, it was sloppy service, and I would have rather gone to Denny’s, than pay close to $300 for ‘diner’ service, which is disappointing because it was my birthday celebration. . We won’t be back.
