    This was our first time dining at Alla Famiglia. It was the most lovely, romantic place to celebrate our anniversary! I am gluten free and all but two items on the menu could be made gluten free. Every thing was delicious-Smoked Provolone, seafood and pasta with cream sauce, Lemoncello Creme Brulee. Our server was very helpful and knowledgeable.

    The videos online make this place seem fantastic. Looked at the menu and was excited to see the limited selection since this usually means they do what they do very well and keep the menu limited for that reason. Out first time being here. Valet Parking is available. The Valet was a nice guy. Took the car and brought it back at the end with no issue. Checking in: Awkward. We were about 5 minutes late for our reservation. The table was not ready. There is no place to wait. No place to sit and very little room to stand. Service constantly going around you, for which you have to shimmy out of the way for. Asked about sitting at the bar while we wait and was told they also reserve out all of the bar seating, so no seats available. Waited about another 10 minutes before being seated. Service during meal: The server had a good personality. They do the two server thing with one assisting the other. (one main server) They both had good personality. Service was good. Our main server seemed to be eavesdropping on our conversations because things would happen that we hadn't asked for yet. Which was good I suppose, but it was a bit strange. The food: We had two apps and two of the large cuts of veal along with a bottle of wine and a dessert we shared with some coffee. The mussel app was OK. Some of the mussels did not taste right but overall the flavor was very good. The Pork Belly app was bland. Seemed like they were trying to come across as "fresh or spring season" flavor but mostly came off as flavorless. They left some of the butchers twin around the cuts. Not sure if this was intended or not. The veal mains were not so good. My cut was impressive looking but the combination of spinach and the other seasonings made it taste gamey. My wife's cut was cooked in purified butter, which was all you could taste. The coffee was OK. The desert was nothing to write home about and I wouldn't get it again. For the money, I would go somewhere else.

    We had the best time, the drinks were amazing, the food was excellent, the building was unique ... the price was high but it was worth it and not somewhere you could eat everyday so it was fair in that sense..
