Alberto's Italian. — Restaurant in England

We arrived in Northampton looking for something to eat, and we were enticed by the lunch menu that seemed outstanding value for money; just for under ten pounds, I could get anything from their lunch menu and a soft drink or small beer or small glass of wine which I thought was a bargain.

We decided on having two glasses of coca cola, and my partner opted for the Polpette GL, which was spaghetti with homemade beef meatballs cooked in a divine herby tomato sauce. I was a little jealous because the meatballs were delicious. I did ask for Funghi DL GY, which was meant to be spaghetti in a creamy garlic sauce with mushrooms, but i ended up getting a pizza. Upon looking at the menu, i could see that both names were the same, meaning the waiter probably misunderstood and gave me a mozzarella cheese, tomato and mushroom pizza instead of the spaghetti i originally wanted.

I was hesitant to bring the pizza back to the kitchen, so i decided to try it, and i am glad i did. The pizza was cooked to perfection, and the flavour was terrific. Perfectly seasoned, i decided just to let the waiter know of the confusion; he was very kind to offer to redo the food again so i could have the original meal, but i decided against it.

After our meal, we were offered desserts, and my partner decided on homemade Tiramisu. I went for the prosecution and strawberry cream cheesecake, and both were nice. It was served on its own without cream as it traditionally is done but wasn't needed because it was incredibly fresh.

We arrived here on Friday afternoon, and there were plenty of seats, and they were all immaculate, and the decor was charming, and i could see why people raved...

We went last Sunday just after reading all good reviews about this place. We was starving for a good pizza and a good Italian atmosphere 😃😃 For starter, my daughter asked for garlic bread - I feel sorry I didn't take picture of that bread with dry garlic powder and looooots of dry oregano, which it couldn't be eaten. For main course, both kids ordered as a kid menu, margarita pizza (£5 or £6 , I don't remember)and for myself I have chosen Alberto specialty, which it cost £18 but, on my surprise, were same pizza as the kids had, margarita, on top of that adding 2/3 sliced of prosciutto, 3 cherry tomatoes cut in half and few leaves of rocket and again looooots of dry oregano 🤢🤮 Pizza wasn't great at all, for the price they are asking, the atmosphere is like I don't recomand to anyone...and the owner, which is other important thing in a business - customer returning - were always playing around over there, being a stres for us, as could fill him to be in stress all the time. We like where we go for eating out, to get a nice atmosphere, a good attitude and a good food... otherwise is waisting of money and time. Definitely I will not return and I will not...

Alberto’s is more authentic than most of the food I’ve tried in Italy! Since moving to Grange Park a year and half ago, Alberto’s has become my favourite restaurant. The staff are amazing, attentive and so helpful. The food is wonderful, huge portions full of delicious favour filled items. My goal is to try every item on the menu (I’m getting there), I’ve never once had a below par meal here and my partner and I eat here a lot! We always take our visiting friends and family here as we’re always confident that it’ll be quality food and great service. We’re so thankful to have such an amazing restaurant on our doorstep and so thankful to all the staff for making us feel so welcome and valued. I cannot recommend Alberto’s enough, and to show this my partner and I have a prebooked 30+ person meal booked at Alberto’s in September because we just wanted to share the amazing atmosphere and food with our closest friends & family.

Thank you to the entire team...
