   I’m not typically a big brunch fan, but I was pleasantly surprised by Alfabeto’s offerings. They offer the full dinner menu in tandem with brunch features so I had a lot to choose from. Their wine list is on point! And my wife appreciated all the non-alcoholic options available. They have a decent sized list of creative craft mocktails that feature botanical alcohol free spirits as well as non-alcoholic beer and wine. We will definitely be back!

   We have been to Alphabetto 6-8 times since it opened and generally have enjoyed it. The setting is quiet making for easy conversations and the food good. Tonight’s experience was sub-par. Our waitress did nothing wrong, but we never connected. She bristled at cocktail order and it was downhill from that point on. We both ordered the salad as there is only one shareable appetizer. The greens are tough with an excellent dressing that redeems the disparate combination of ingredients. The salad doesn’t warrant $15. On a positive note, my scallop dish was very good. My husband ordered the chicken. It was over-cooked but okay. The worst selection was the roasted Brussels sprouts side dish. There was no nutritional value to the charred mushy vegetable. I don’t like to leave bad reviews, but no one inquired about out meal. We both left feeling angry about an expensive (wouldn’t have been if we were happy) night out.

   They played the Peanuts theme song 4 times in an hour. One pasta dish was undercooked while the other was overcooked. Both lacked flavor. Appetizers were great, mussels and arancini. The overall vibe was off. It was empty for a Friday and too quiet for a comfortable conversation, also management was pushing waitstaff to be attentive which could be heard and resulted in over attentive staff that made the experience awkward.

   Exceptionally well crafted cuisine. From start ( French Onion Soup and Winter greens with roasted root veg salad) to the (homemade tortellini stuffed with salted cod nestled in a light fresh herb and tomato sauce) finished with a lovely dessert sampler ( all homemade) A perfect dinner on a very chilly evening.

   It’s a very cool place — great ambience and lighting. Very good cocktails and wine list and the food is excellent. Try the artichoke confit appetizer it will blow you away. Our server Veronica suggested we split a pasta and then each order a main and it was just the right amount of food and we got to try the delicious house made pasta and the mains were good. The veal chop was so tender!

    New Year's Eve dining was a set menu. The amount of food was very generous, and the entrees (flank steak and sea bass) were deliciously prepared - I would return for those. But disappointments - the arancini on the appetizer plate were cold, and the vegetable sides were completely unseasoned and unattractive (carrots crunchy, Brussel sprouts almost mushy, potatoes blah).
