    What a great Valentine’s night experience! A well thought out special menu, complimentary sparkling wine to start the night and a rose for every lady at the end! The food was incredible (Bibb salad and sea bass were standouts!), and the attentive and very professional staff was up to the challenge of a Friday night Valentine’s. Well crafted drinks and next level desserts were amazing. Literally can’t find a fault with the evening - just the way both guest and restaurant want a Valentine’s night to be! Keep this place in mind for next year - or any special occasion!

    Had dinner at Alessandro’s last night to celebrate Valentine’s Day. I’d been wanting to eat here for a long time and we had a great time. The food was fantastic and the service was excellent. My husband is hard to please when it comes to really good Italian food and he was very impressed. Looking forward to enjoying many more meals there.

    As usual, the staff was friendly and attentive. It was a busy night (Valentine's Day), but the service was still exceptional. I had the braised beef ravioli, and my wife had the spinach ravioli. Both were delicious. The polenta with fontina sauce appetizer was also wonderful. And their dessert special for the night - napoleon with sliced strawberries - was fantastic. From the staff to the food, Cassariano never disappoints.
