Problem: I have to admit, I LOVE French food. This was nothing less then an amazing dinner. The staff was very friendly. I did the tasting menu and also ordered the Foie Gras trio. It was fantastic. They brought out a few tastes from the chef, the one with caviar was my favorite. Being a foodie and going to culinary school I appreciated all of the flavors. I paired dinner with red wine. It was a great idea. It is a little expensive but completely worth it. Definitely a restaurant that I would go to again, and recommend.

Problem: I have been waiting for this place to open of a long time now. The wait was worth it. What Mr. Molinaro has done with this space is nothing short of phenomenal. Every attention to detail to make the place feel and look like a pizzeria in Naples was done here. From the wood fired, hand made pizza oven to the Nuova Simonelli Victoria Arduino Adonis espresso machine, the finest made in the world, to the beer taps, this place will not disappoint anyone who is looking to experience authentic Napoletano food. The menu is almost identical to the original Mt. Lebo establishment with a few changes. This place has only been open a week but you would not know it. The food and service are great. The second floor bar is also something that really adds to the experience. We ate on the first floor, then went upstairs for the remainder of the evening. The bar has 25 stools with a dining area which holds about 50 or so.The first floor seats 40 with a small bar. The place was very busy but the service was simply incredible. You will recognize some faces from the original so clearly the transition to this larger space seemed to be quite smooth. Just a fair warning that the first floor dining area is a bit tight with mostly tables for 2 that are very close together. The upstairs bar and dining area is somewhat less compact. The bar is open until 2:00 a.m. I encourage everyone to get to il Pizzaiolo at Market Square. This is obviously a large investment in that area so we should all be supporting a place which adds a unique touch to the city and delivers a dining experience that is only found in the city of Naples.

Problem: I like Italian food. It's probably the only food I will take home, because the left overs are usually just as good the next day! It's kinda sad that Alessia's is SO good that I don't even have left overs! We started off with bread and this amazing vinaigrette/oil combo. It was the best mixture I've ever had. For dinner, I had fettuccine with a homemade white sauce that was so creamy and filled with flavor, I couldn't believe it. The chicken I added was crisp and the spices used on the chicken complimented the white sauce nicely. Side note: the owner (who served us) is a bit of a pompous...I'm thinking it has to do with the pride he has with his food/cultural differences...but still, brace yourself if he's there when you go otherwise he might ruin the food experience by his attitude. Come, enjoy, and get fat! :}

Problem: Good food ridiculously bad service. To the point it became funny to us. They couldn't get our orders straight for an entire hour and had waitresses circling several times always needing us to correct them. Food was good. One plate was dry because it sat out for 20 minutes. A roll was sent to another table. When they said they didn't order it. Waitress brought it to my table. One persons food came 40 min after everyone else's. had to ask for water several times. Forgot our coffee which is astronomical 4.50 for a plain coffee! When the bill came they didn't even tally up the items which were nonsensical We don't tip for "oh we're sorry, so sorry" This place really went downhill since last year. Management needs revamping bad!
