love the food, a little pricy – You know the restaurants loved ones will not stop talking about, and you are forbidden from going to them without them? This is my family's place. They found if off of a groupon (I think?) I finally snagged an invite to join them and absolutely have loved my loyal stand by choices and have always at least liked the dishes I tried being adventurous (I'm not). Love their caesar salad, their butternut squash ravioli (seasonal?) is amazing and I appreciate they let you mix and match sides on their... read more

Don't walk away from Al Vento...RUN! – Bad food, bad service, arrogant attitude...an excellent recipe for bankruptcy. We were regulars at their sister restaurant (Rinata), but we're now done with both because of our horrible experience at Al Vento. After the banktrupcy, I wish the staff the best of luck finding a new line of work in this economy.

Enjoyable Food and Atmosphere – We made reservations for 7:15 on a recent Saturday. We showed up early and they were able to seat us immediately. We asked to sit out on the patio where we passed on the first table offered and pointed to a different table for two that we like more. Seemed like the hostess was more interested in balancing the waiter load but did seat us at the table we picked. We enjoyed the atmosphere on the patio, very nice and relaxed. Waiter was busy and did not seem to have time to be warm. Very thorough ... read more

Rude, rude, rude... – I called the restaurant with a couple quick questions regarding a Living Social coupon that I purchased/was intending to use and received some of the worst customer service EVER from the employee who answered the phone - Straight-up rude biznatch for absolutely no good reason. I have never been to Al Vento and that less than 60 second phone conversation has confirmed that I probably never will.... A shame because I was very much looking forward to trying a new place in my neighborhood. Good luck running... read more

Worst Brunch – We heard good reviews about this place from friends, and were quite excited to eat there for Sunday brunch. As soon as we arrived, there was a slight line to be seated, which was no big deal, except that the hostesses (who was also a waitress) did not seat in order of those who were waiting (people who came after us were seated first). Also noteworthy, was the other staffs attentiveness to the waiting line, nobody welcome us or told us somebody would be there to help us. So we finally get seated (and by seated... read more

Great Spot! – al Vento is one of my favorite local restuarants. The mother sauce is to die for, the meatballs delicious, and the eggplant parmesean pizza outstanding. The pastas are fresh and perfectly prepared. The patio is lovely and often crowded on a nice summer evening. On one occasion, we were there with a small child and the host was more than happy to accommodate, even offering to make a special mac and cheese or cheese pizza for her. The servers can be a bit spotty, but the food more than makes up for it.
