Bistro Albertino - Willow Grove

Bistro Albertino has tasty and authentic Italian food. As far as I know, everything is made on site, and their sauces are phenomenal. They also have a great crew of servers led by Meadow, Albi, and John. You really can't go wrong with anything you order but you must start with the Grilled Calamari appetizer. You can thank me later. My only gripe is, I understand that prices have gone up and that is ok. Price went up once during COVID, and at that I was cool with it. But recently it went up again. Personally for me, it's become a tad too pricey now. I will still come to Albertino when I'm craving Italian, but $18.95 for Penne Vodka when it used to be $14.95, is a bit rough. Update: Prices went up AGAIN! 3 times in the last 1 and a half years. At this point, as much as I love this place, there are other options. Update: Some of the items have become ridiculously overpriced and the starter bread is not as good as it used to be but the entrees are still A+

Cute, very cute! It is right off the main road 263 and it has its own parking right out front and to the sides. Service is really good Meadow was phenomenal friendly, easy going, connected with us well! The special was the Chilean sea bass which was amazing! My party had the chicken Parm and the seafood pasta and both were really good as well! We did not have room for dessert but the dessert menu looked very appetizing! All made in house but the last two on the menu! I would recommend!!!

Absolutely delicious! It was the first time I was there and I couldn’t decide on what to get. I let the server choose between one of the house specials of the day and one of the menu items. She brought out this wonderful plate of seafood and linguini that was just delicious! I think the server’s name is Meadow and I would let her choose my meal again, any time. She is an excellent server and she has exquisite taste. She also selected my dessert because I couldn’t decide on that either. I can’t wait to go back because there are so many other dishes I want to try.

Went for dinner with friends for the first time last night. Nicely greeted as we entered. John was our waiter. He was great and very accommodating. The food and the service was exceptional. As Italian restaurants go, which happens to be my favorite type of food,this place ranks near the top. I believe everyone in our party was equally satisfied. We definitely will look forward to coming back here in the near future.

This is definitely a place to check out that is somewhat hidden and easy to pass. From the looks of the outside I thought this restaurant was closed but it was actually open and I’m glad they were. The waitress told me the specials for the day, and I opted to go with The Hand cut ribeye with lump crab meat with the white sauce on top with garlic sautéed asparagus and potatoes. The potatoes were so good. They seemed as if they were parboiled then sautéed in a pan. The inside was nice and fluffy. The outside was crispy. The ribeye Was cooked to perfection. I asked for my steak to be medium and that is exactly what it was. The crab meat on top paired with the steak with the cream sauce tasted like butter. It was extremely flavorful. The appetizer i ordered was the marinara with goat cheese. It was OK, very warming to my soul, but I wish it was drizzled with something sweet like honey, to kind of balance it out. The robust taste of the marinara, along with the salted goat cheese, it needed some kind of balance. The crème brûlée, I absolutely loved this. I like that it wasn’t overly sweet. I was stuffed from dinner, and I just had to finish that dessert at the restaurant. I did take one entrée to go, and that was the oxtail Ragu, which was tasty as well. Would definitely go back.
