I have lived in Quincy,MA for most of my life, and i am always surprised when i stumble upon a new hidden treasure that has has been right in front of me for many years. After many years of saying "we must trying Alfredo's , sooooo many people recommend it.", we finally did it.
I must say i did not go into this meal with especially high expectations. This was a restaurant i must have passed about 40-50 times without even a second glance. But after being tired of the same ole Italian restaurants in the area, i thought i needed a change. So Alfredo's seemed like a logical choice, and i must say what a pleasant surprise.
The restaurant has 2 bars , that offer both a nice option to eat at the bar if you choose and a place to have a relaxing cocktail or a more lively section that would suit someone looking to have a good time.
The cocktail prices at the bar are reasonable , with a wide selection of beers /wines.
The waitstaff was very friendly and accommodating, when we sat at the bar and decided to get a table the servers worked together to get us a table that met our needs. This restaurant had a vibe of an old fashioned restaurant ( and believe me when i say this, i meant that in a ver good way) a lot of places now a days you order a meal and your vegetable or starch comes separate but in this case for most meals you got 2 sides, a soup/salad/pasta/rice/potato/ vegetable.This is an old fashioned offering that i must say was a very pleasant surprise.
The entrees were delicious, each plentiful and very flavorful. i had no choice but to order the chick and fettucini Alfredo ( for God's sake the restaurants' name is Alfredo's , how do i not order the fettucini Alfredo ) it was sublime, the sauce was delicious but not overwhelming. Alfredo sauce is 1 of my ultimate guilty pleasures, a sauce made from cream and butter has to be a gift from heaven.
The chicken piccata was tasty, and not over powering like a lot of lemon based sauces.
The meatballs in the spaghetti and meatballs were amazing, not all breadcrumbs. you could actually enjoy the flavor of the meat and the sauce.
I would heartily recommend Alfredo's to anyone in the Quincy area looking for great Italian cuisine.
Have a great night and a great meal.
