Bistro Albertino 634 York Road, Willow Grove, PA 19090

"We’ve been coming here for 3 years now and LOVE the food. The servers are always soo friendly and I love that they do specials. The pesto you get with the complimentary bread is to die for!"

"I feel like my rating should be just a bit under 4, but I'll keep at at 4 for now. We came in without any reservation and was still rather promptly seated. The waitress was friendly, quality of the food was very good, and portion was decent for the price. Here's where (I feel) things went wrong and could've been managed better: After being seated, it took about 10 minutes or so just to receive complimentary bread. Afterwards, about another 20 minutes to get our starters, followed by another 30 minutes or so to get the main meal. While the wait time separately may not seem long, a total wait time of 1 hour is a bit long. It was a Friday evening so I can understand the staff being busy, but not to the point where I have to wait that long for our food. I feel like things could've been better managed. Throughout our order, our food was swapped with the table next to us twice. I can overlook that part because, again, busy Friday. But the wait time? 1 hour is steep even for a busy Friday. TL;DR - Quality of food is very good and portion size is reasonable for the price, but the wait time should not be as long."

"This is definitely a place to check out that is somewhat hidden and easy to pass. From the looks of the outside I thought this restaurant was closed but it was actually open and I’m glad they were. The waitress told me the specials for the day, and I opted to go with The Hand cut ribeye with lump crab meat with the white sauce on top with garlic sautéed asparagus and potatoes. The potatoes were so good. They seemed as if they were parboiled then sautéed in a pan. The inside was nice and fluffy. The outside was crispy. The ribeye Was cooked to perfection. I asked for my steak to be medium and that is exactly what it was. The crab meat on top paired with the steak with the cream sauce tasted like butter. It was extremely flavorful. The appetizer i ordered was the marinara with goat cheese. It was OK, very warming to my soul, but I wish it was drizzled with something sweet like honey, to kind of balance it out. The robust taste of the marinara, along with the salted goat cheese, it needed some kind of balance. The crème brûlée, I absolutely loved this. I like that it wasn’t overly sweet. I was stuffed from dinner, and I just had to finish that dessert at the restaurant. I did take one entrée to go, and that was the oxtail Ragu, which was tasty as well. Would definitely go back."

"What a hidden gem! From the outside, it looks like nothing. When you enter, you feel like you’re transported into a cute romantic Italian cafe. Everything we ordered was delicious and generously portioned. Our waiter was great. It’s a BYOB place of they don’t serve alcohol. They gave us free lemoncello shots at the end of our visits. It’s easy to miss the place cause the parking area is small and it looks dark from the outside."

"Cute, very cute! It is right off the main road 263 and it has its own parking right out front and to the sides. Service is really good - Meadow was phenomenal - friendly, easy going, connected with us well! The special was the Chilean sea bass which was amazing! My party had the chicken Parm and the seafood pasta and both were really good as well! We did not have room for dessert but the dessert menu looked very appetizing! All made in house but the last two on the menu! I would recommend!!!"
