Description: In it's Rockefeller Center location, Alfredo of Rome joins its award winning predecessors at Epcot Center in Walt Disney World and the original Alfredo of Rome where in 1914,the original fettuccine Alfredo was invented. New York's new 8000 square foot installment offers a contemporary twist on the classic Roman fare that made Alfredo a household name and, of course, the irresistible only original Fettuccine Alfredo. Celebrities and heads of state have made Alfredo's their home away from home. Alfredo N.Y. is no exception. What attracts them? May be it's the heralded authentic Italian cuisine. Or perhaps their often talked about wine list (winner of the Wine spectator award from 20001-2005.)Certainly the Hirschfield’s adorning the walls can't help but draw attention.

I knew it would be fairly touristy, as it's right near Rockefeller Center, but we were so hungry and tired and it was in the right place at the right time. I took my two girls (8 and 12)...it was so lame! Poor service...the waiter had allll the time in the world, it seemed. He was slow and unattentive. Our... More

I see the reviews are so mixed here. I say "take it for what it is" Alfredo is just the best place to sit and have a glass of wine a fabulous thin crust pizza, appetizers, and a little pasta. I am a New Yorker and shopping or doing business in this area, I always stop there, the frito misto... More

It is the worst place in New york. The food was awful , waiter was rude and slow. We had pastas and lasagnas both were terrible and overpriced. Do not go there, they are relying on tourists.

This place is awesome! They have the original recipe for Fettucine Alfredo. I've been going there for 13 years, both for business dinners and personal. They never disappoint! Ask for Mario...he'll take good care of you! NAD

Shared a business lunch with 3 colleagues. I ordered the Fettucine Alfredo (supposedly their signature dish). The pasta arrived stuck together and dried looking (as if it had been sitting under heat lams for a long time). The fettucine was stuck together and dry. My colleagues dishes all looked fresh. I would not go there again.

While staying at the Waldorf we decided to try a restaurant nearby. What a mistake. The chef and staff argued in Italian constantly on the main floor. My simple dish of pasta and sauce took an hour. The pasta was clumped. The $27 salad was child portion. What look nice from the outside was a mess inside. The waiter was... More

This is one of my friend's favorites, so when we were in the city the other night, we decided to eat there - it was my first time. I was really happy with some parts of the meal, and really disappointed with others - I guess you just have to know what to order. We shared the salad with the... More

There are so many restaurants in NYC that few will merit my return. Alfredo of Rome on W. 49th Street is one that I continue to revisit without being disappointed. As the tourists flock to Rockefeller Center the restaurants in the area fill and the food and attention from the waitstaff suffers. This is not the case with Alfredo. I... More

Really disappointed as recommended by hotel. Food was very bland and my chicken dish has slimy and poor quality meat. Potatoes were not cooked. Partners meal was OK but for the price disappointing. Left after one course even though this was a special occasion as couldn't bring myself to part with any more money to this place. Also restaurant was... More
