Al Fresco Bar & Lounge

Best Centroamerican place in Hartford Bar and dinning. Karaoke on sundays and food till 1 am

Our family has visited Al Fresco when we happen to be in the area (we live in MA) or made the trip for special occasions. It is always clean and surprisingly not busy even on weekend nights. The service is friendly (last evening we were helped by Dorothy, who offered friendly conversation) and all of our food was fresh, hot, and large portions. I'm not sure why some other reviewers had bad experiences or thought the price/value for the selection or food was poor, but we have never had a bad experience here over the last few years. Al Fresco remains our favorite family style Italian restaurant to enjoy a handful of times a year.

Service was very slow. The waitress had a flat, disinterested personality and didn't really seem to care how long we waited. She forgot to bring my daughter's salad. The french fries were barely cooked and disgusting. I used to really like this restaurant but it seems to have gone down hill.

My family and I had a wonderful 75th pizza party there and OMG, could not have been more pleased. Food was awesome and the service was great. Wings were great! For 75, I made a great choice. Very pleased.

Went there around Christmas time. Don't let the outside fool you. The food was absolutely amazing. We had a party of nine and every dish we had was delicious. Family owned restaurant and you could tell the food was cooked with love. Great experience!
