Albero Bistro

"LOVE this place. We used to eat at the Albero in Central pretty frequently, but after they closed for whatever reason we had not been to this one. That will be changing. The food is amazing and the service was outstanding. If it is crowded, it can be kind of noisy because of the acoustics, the chicken scampi is fabulous!"

"My hubby and I went for dinner tonight. I started with a house side salad, which was a huge portion and very good. The house dressing is phenomenal. I had the special which was Drunken Salmon and shrimp. This was salmon and shrimp with penne pasta in a vodka sauce with basil. This was so good, I wanted to eat the whole plate. I also had the Italian margarita, which was delicious too. My hubby had the Cajun pasta, which looked so good and cheesy. Everyone was so kind, from the sweet hostess who didn't sit us by the door, to the owner who checked up on us several times. We will definitely be back to try different menu items."

"We ordered the shrimp dip, Caesar salad, chicken marsala, carbonara, & the kids chicken & veggies. The shrimp dip was the same sauce as the carbonara with approx. 2 cut up pieces of shrimp in it. It was too loose/watery to be paired with the bread that it came with but the flavor was okay. Caesar salad was not enough for $10 but a decent size & the flavor was a basic Caesar. The chicken marsala taste better than it looked. I didnt know the carbonara has pork in it, which should be disclosed. The taste was mediocre. The kids meal, the chicken was tender & the veggies (Broccoli & tomatoes) were perfectly seasoned. I think the veggies was the best part of the entire meal. The waiter seemed high strung & nervous. The atmosphere was very clean. It bothered me that they have a microwave & I watched them use it so many times. Lets me know everything is fresh. Overall okay experience, but would not return."

"Friendly staff, great environment, but the food wasn’t that impressive. We were actually pretty disappointed. We got the nachos for an appetizer and the Grilled Italian entree. The presentation was great, but nothing was tasty. It was alright, and tolerable, but truly disappointing especially for the price. Our waiter was very attentive, almost too attentive. We appreciated his effort, but he hovered a lot. For example, every time I took a drink of water, he’d come over and fill my glass back up. It was a bit much. I don’t think I’d go back. The menu is big, which just makes choosing difficult. They were accommodating for us, which was so nice. One more thing, our waiter was very hard to understand. I hate to say that, but it made it tough to ask questions. To summarize, if you’re looking for a pleasant and clean atmosphere, you’ll enjoy this place, but if you’re more interested in taking a trip to flavor town, I wouldn’t recommend this place. Their food looks great, but is more on the scale of just okay."
