Al Di La Italian Bistro — Restaurant in East Rutherford

Oh my goodness! What a disappointment !It’s Christmas Eve and I had to leave and order a Domino’s Pizza because the food and the service was so awful! I ended up just ordering appetizers and they even got that wrong. There was a bottle cap at the bottom of our water pitcher from a beer. They overcharged me for an appetizer brought out the wrong appetizer. I ordered a Malbec I received merlot. I told the waiter Lewis that I have nut allergies.

Well, again another dynasty. Been to the restaurant a few times (unfortunately for a repass. Tonight was for fun. The Band Swingman and the misfit muttts ….

Met and chatted, such a nice man. The food was awesome and the table was large and the bill was extremely reasonable. The wait staff seemed on top of their game. Elizibeth was extremely attentive to us and a nice person.

Ok...
