Al Fresco Italian Place - Barnet

Very enjoyable meal with friends on Saturday eve. As always, hearty portions at sensible money. No frills, just good honest Italian dishes that I could eat every day! No wonder this long established restaurant is always busy....a sure sign they are doing something right to keep diners happy.

I have been going to Al Fresco for over 30 years and it never fails me. That deliciously welcoming smell hits you the minute you walk through the door. The food, the atmosphere, the service are all excellent. The rustic decor is also lovely. Generous portions and good value for money.

Excellent Italian food, with a willingness to amend the menu to meet our (low carb) wishes. We were able to book in at short notice and get a good table. Staff friendly and helpful, cuisine superb. Definitely a regular on our go to list now.

Absolutely the all time family favourite! It has been for so many years and will continue to be the best Italian outside of Italy for us!

I attended with my wife, I had known the previous manager for many years, I ordered dinner, when this was served the portion of spaghetti was so small basically a child's portion. When the manager was questioned made an absolute song and dance no no no if you want more you have to pay. All I can say is bring back the old managment clearly shows the owners don't know who they are employing this is a resturant it's built on repeat business. I will never go back if I could give it 0 stars I would. The italian across the road the service is better the portions are bigger and the staff certainly more accommodating.
