    Our visit to Al Fresco was wonderful. We had a great experience there. Everything we had, from the appetizers, entrees, and dessert, were outstanding. The food was nicely presented and was top notch quality throughout. The server we had was first rate, making for a great evening. For Italian cuisine, you can't get much better than this. This restaurant is an easy one to recommend for those in the Hampton Roads area wanting top notch Italian.

    We enjoyed yet another special dining experience prior to attending a performance at the Ferguson Center. Our appetizer, both entrees, and our shared bottle of Zinfandel were superb!

    Al Fresco is one of my favorite places for fine Italian dining. I especially like to dine here when friends or family are visiting from out of town as there are many dishes to select from, one for almost every palate. Ronnie, the owner, greeted us on a arrival in such a friendly manner, we felt like family. Our waitress, Bee, was most attentive and checked on us just enough to make sure everything was good with our meal and that we had everything we needed. I enjoyed the Linguini Pescatore (a dish I've ordered here several times and each time the seafood has been fresh, the linguini has been al dentes, and the white wine sauces has been seasoned perfectly. My cousin enjoyed the mushroom ravioli and we both enjoyed the eggplant with ricotta and mozzarella appetizer. Outstanding evening of dining out thanks to Al Fresco.

    I love eating here. Everytime I visit the food is always excellent. From the fresh hot bread, Chicken Parm and Tiramisu. Every meal was delicious. If you haven’t been you need too. You wont be disappointed in anything you order. Prices are very reasonable and portion size is good. I had leftovers which heated up good. Hats off to the chef and staff. Keep doing what your doing and stay consistent.
