Italian Charm & So Much More
Hello, dear polite travelers,
Craving
an Italian dinner in a quiet restaurant with a homey feel for our first night
in Pacific Grove, CA., we chose Aliotti’s
Victorian Corner Restaurant in charming downtown.
As
we stepped into the small, but well-appointed restaurant, we
were welcomed warmly and seated at a table tucked into a window-framed nook. It was lovely.
Reading
the menu was a delight. All items are
authentic and homemade. Plus, we found that all dishes can be customized. Since I prefer a light olive oil and garlic
rather than the alfredo sauce that dressed the roasted butternut stuffed
ravioli I chose, my wish was promptly granted.
Excellent. My hubby chose a lasagna
layered with ricotta, parmesan, and mozzarella cheese and their well-balanced,
meaty Bolognese sauce. Surprisingly, it
was light, not heavy like most.
Pairing
well with our meals we chose their house white and red wine. Fairly priced and of average quality.
Although
our meals were excellent, the real star of the evening was our server Yenni
(SP). We believe in creating and
enjoying moments—moments with those around us that are so special, that each stands
out in our memories. Our interaction
with this lovely woman was one of those special moments.
Will We Return?
Absolutely! Everything about the restaurant screams
“Welcome.” The food is excellent. The staff is competent, polite, and friendly. And I love the atmosphere!
