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.

Mr Timothy J Purtle My sister in law took us to al Vento on Tuesday evening 'date night' the menu was condensed, but truly had the best meal I have ever eaten, we dressed casual as I had shorts and twins jacket on only to run into people a little more formally dressed, the staff was as delightful as the food, I told my family after leaving that the experience was so fabulous, that I would wear pants next time. This place was Amazing, word cannot describe, you must try on your own, and i hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

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

Go for the food, look past the service We went all out in our dining experience here - ordered a couple of appetizers (get the stuffed mushrooms!) had the spaghetti and meatballs (delicious) and had tiramisu for dessert. Everything was wonderful - and we even capped it off with a blood orange martini that I'm still trying to find something that even compares to it! The service wasn't exactly attentitve, but the food came quickly and more than makes up for it.

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
