After 41 years, Alberto remains the hallmark of the finest Northern Italian cuisine!

When a restaurant survives for 41 years, it has to be doing something right. Alberto's is not simply surviving, it's thriving. Under the continued watchful eyes of Silvana and Roberto, the siblings who started the restaurant, and a team of first-class servers, some of whom...More

It was suggested that while in Queens, NY for Italian food, Alberto's was worth the visit! Not so.... I made the reservation for 8:00 pm and was seated at 8:30. Ordered the special "rack of lamb". It took over 30 minutes to get our entrees...More

As far as I know, Alberto does not do lunch. They only have private functions during the afternoon. They don't open for dinner until 5pm. Also, no pre-fixe menus.
