   Thank you Cucina Alfabeto for redeeming our Valentine’s Day! My wife and I were underwhelmed by the restaurant we dined with on the 14th, but upon discovering your restaurant still miraculously had some availability, we booked a “mulligan” Valentine’s Day for the day after. Our experience with your amazing restaurant and team more than made up for our previous night’s debacle. I had the Veal Milanese - protip: ask for extra caper gremolata, it makes the dish - and my wife got the cod tortellini which was masterfully presented. We chose to sit at the bar despite table availability and were delighted to make the acquaintance of the new head bartender, Chris. He is an expert mixologist and wonderful host. After dinner we popped over to the bookstore, remembering the manager of Cucina Alfabeto is able to work their register, so my wife and I picked out books for each other. The night was perfection!

   Server Jareth was excellent, as was the appetizers, entrees, drinks, and dessert. Restaurant was a little chilly- all of the women needed sweaters. We would definitely return.

   The restaurant is a little Northside gem. The staff did a spectacular job. They know how to treat their customers and meet all of their needs. The restaurant, itself, is very clean, well designed and kind of fun because there's a book store in the same room...very unique. The food was good but not great. Their still learning but I have no doubt that they'll improve.

   My husband and I went there to celebrate Valentine's Day and it was the perfect mix of ambiance, great food, noise level was perfect for having conversations, and we will definitely be back.

   What a weird vibe. The restaurant shares a space with some kind of theater. There is no meaningful barrier between the restaurant and the theater. No one dining in the restaurant was talking seemingly to not disturb those watching the theater show. Hey, I didn’t go out to dinner with my friend to sit there and be quiet because a show I didn't want see and didn’t even know was going on was thrust upon me because the owner of the restaurant doesn’t have a clue that a wall needs to be put up between the two venues. As for the food, the bread was good. The meatballs had way too much pepper. My friend’s veal chop was fatty and greasy. My paparadelle was good. The cannoli was nothing special. As for the service, our waitress was great. In fact, I hope she gets a new job at another restaurant because I’d really like to see her again.

   Very pleasant dinner with friends. There is usually a show during dinner time so the noise can be on the higher side, but still very good food and service.

    Though the food and ambiance was good, the service was very poor.
