Sono buoni – It took me almost a year of eating at Alfredo of Rome to realize that its Rome, Italy location was the originator of the classic butter-and-cheese dish Fettuccine Alfredo (no kidding). While most of our party ordered the fettuccine, some of us opted to sample the oddly named "Italian Sushi" platter. We were pleasantly surprised to find our platter containing an assortment of the most flavorful ingredients mixed-and-matched and shaped into sushi-like hors d'oeuvres: Salmone (smoked salmon and buffalo mozzarella r... read more

what a joke – I dined with my date at Alfredo of Rome over the weekend and what a let down. I have frequented this restaurant before and have had a nice time but the last few visits have gotten worse each time. First of all the waiters have no knowledge of the food, wine and cocktails. When my date asked about their spiced red apple martini the waiter said they needed to ask the bartender how it was made and did'nt comeback for another ten minutes and when he did he just said it was vodka and apple juice. When we asked what ... read more

good food but nothing special – I went to Alfredo's a few times with my company... the food is pretty good, especially the fried calamari appetizer (they throw in fried apples and peppers, yummy) I had the pasta sampler last time I went (ravioli, lasagna and fettucine) I wouldnt recommend the veal ravioli, everyone at the table agreed that it was dry and just not any good. the lasagna was delicious but the fettucine alfredo, which i expected to be the best, was just ok... very lemony. but it has a nice decor and friendly sta... read more

Go for appetizers! – Sit at the bar, order a glass of wine, and grab an appetizer: they'll also bring you olives, parmesan cheese, a huge loaf of delicious bread and 3 dipping sauces. We decided not even to order an entree since we were given so much. Nice big bar; reliable, satisfying place when you're in the area.

Average all around – Recommended by our hotel. It was on our way to a show, had nice decor, the water was good, but food was ok. Not bad, but nothing special.

SEATING PRACTICES – I travel frequently on business to New York ( for the last 3 years ) and eat at this restaurant at least once a week. However on Tuesday , November 2 ,I had a terrible experience as the hostess did not want to sit a lone diner - she showed me the worst tables and offered no help when I asked if I could somewhere else. I ended up leaving which was a shabby way to treat a regular customer.

Dinner and a show – The Alfredo of Rome was a very good choice. The food was excellent. It appeared when the waitor determined we were not from the area, our service level declined. We waited some time for our order to be taken and had to ask for refills. The food was excellent and the choices were very good. I do recommend.

alfredos authentic yet now – There must be an Italian in the kitchen and a talented chef at that! It was like returning to the eternal city itself....delicious and fun. The Hirshfeld murals with Italian theme are playful and the decor is modern and comfortable. I will be back over and over.

No Fireworks at Alfredo's – I must have dined at Alfredo's on an off night, because all of the other user reviews are wonderful. I found the food, though tasty, to be nothing out of the ordinary. The Alfredo, Veal Ravioli con Funghi, and chocolate desserts were decent as was the service. But for what you get, the price point was too high, perhaps in part due to the restaurant's Rockefeller Center location??? On the whole, something about the experience was lacking.
