Altobeli's Restaurant and Piano Bar

I've been a customer of this restaurant for all of its 38 year history. We visited on Valentine's Day, and at 8:30 PM the restaurant was only half full, perhaps less, now we know why. Since the original owner sold the business a couple of years ago, the food quality has declined....dramatically. If you are seeing positive reviews on this restaurant, the people writing the reviews must be friends of the current owner and not reviewing an actual dining experience. The problems were evident from the very start: the bar was under stocked and appeared to be missing very common brands. The dining experience was no better...the food quality and taste was absolutely terrible, not remotely close to the quality the original owner served. I had chicken parmesan and a caprese salad. I'm not a cook

I honestly felt like I’d stepped into an alternate universe at Altobeli’s. From start to finish, the experience was a complete disaster. This restaurant used to be bustling—with good music, good food, and a lively atmosphere—but not anymore. I ordered a $30 pasta, waited an hour and a half for it, and ended up sending it back without eating a single bite. It was inedible. To my shock, I later found out that the owner is both the entertainer and the chef. When I realized she was cooking the food, my mouth literally fell open. The piano player looked utterly depressed, as if mourning what was once a vibrant place. This was supposed to be my 45th birthday dinner, and it was completely ruined. I walked out hungry. The kids were so hungry they ended up eating their (overpriced) kids’ pasta just

We had been here previously and had a great experience, so we decided to come back after 5+ years this weekend. We were so disappointed. We had a table of 6 on a Saturday night at 7pm. It was fairly full when we got there, but right away we saw only 2 servers. We ordered apps, salads, and entrees as soon as the waiter came over. We waited over an HOUR to get our salads. The house salad had ONE slice of cucumber and ONE slice of tomato... We waited another 45 mins to get our entrees. After watching the other tables get huge plates of pasta, and taking home to go boxes, we were going to write off the long wait for a good meal. Once we got our plates, it was clear we had about 1/2 of the amount the rest of the tables were getting... I had the chicken piccata and my chicken was pre-cut (which

🎶 Altobeli’s Restaurant & Piano Bar — Where Dinner Turns Into a Party Your Tastebuds Never Want to Leave! If you’re looking for more than “just dinner,” RUN (don’t walk) to Altobeli’s.

This used to be our go-to spot within walking distance, and I’ve personally watched its quality decline—something clearly reflected in recent reviews. Our last visit was the final straw to stop us from visiting ever again. We waited over 30 minutes only to learn our order never made it to the kitchen. After another 20+ minutes, the manager came over—not with an apology or treat, but with an unsolicited explanation. No acknowledgment, no gesture of goodwill. When the food finally arrived more than an hour later, my wife’s dish was stone cold, clearly sitting while my forgotten dish was prepared. We ended up packing the food untouched and leaving. From a former loyal customer to management: mistakes happen. What matters is how you respond. A sincere apology or a small gesture—a drink, dess
