Alberto’s Ristorante
When Alberto’s opened in 1984, it was said to be the first Northern Italian in the region. Many other local restaurants have come and gone since then, but Alberto’s, run by the suave Felisberto Barreiro, has remained a consistent choice. It is an elegant venue, with crisp white tablecloths and chandeliers providing romantic lighting, but there’s also a lively bar scene, particularly in the summer. The best deal is the three-course prix-fixe dinner, served daily from 4 to 6pm for $22. Favorites include cannelloni and other house-made pastas. There’s also a sublime roasted duck, and the signature “Alberto,” a delicate veal cutlet with peppers, artichoke hearts, pesto, and a fresh tomato sauce. There’s also a good children’s menu.
