We were enjoying ourselves walking through the shops in World Showcase, I attempted to buy something from every country. I still was not right and began to get progressively worse. My mom and I contemplated canceling our ADR for Alfredos, my mom decided to just walk over to Alfredos to see if they had an early ADR. We were in luck they had a 3:30 ADR available, how wonderful! So we decided to bump up our dinner and see if I would be able to eat anything.
We still had some time to kill before our ADR so we headed over to Maelstrom, FYI: This was our longest wait of our entire trip, 30mins! Now you know why its a fastpass hahaha! After the Cool Maelstrom ride I began to feel a bit better. We took a leisurely stroll back to Italy for our early dinner.
We were seated promptly even though there was quite a crowd. Our adorable waiter Andrea came to our table to greet us; he looked like one of Cinderellas mice. He was very pleasant and knowledgeable of the
DDP. He took our drink orders first and return quickly with our drinks. When he returned he asked if we were ready to order our appetizers and we did. I ordered the Caesar salad which was amazing, even with a belly ache! My mom got the Misto di Insalate dell 'Orto - a salad of wild greens with sweet grape tomatoes and our Italian raspberry vinaigrette dressing, she enjoyed this as well. We ordered our entrees and they arrived just as we were finishing our salads. I ordered the lasagna which was very good and consisted of laid out noodles instead of the normal square lasagna. My mom got the Tagliolini Alla Vodka con Gamberoni - homemade tagliolini pasta in a tomato, cream and pepper-infused vodka sauce served with shrimp, she thought it was good but could not finish it because she was stuffed. Even though we didnt finish our entrees we couldnt pass up dessert. My mom convinced me into ordered Andreas suggest dessert, the sampler dish for two. This dessert contained chocolate cake, which I loved, chocolate mouse which my mom ate and enjoyed, and some type of flan like dessert that my mom ate as well. The dessert also had a cannoli, and my mom and I both dont like cannolis so it went untouched.
SERVICE: The service was wonderful. We could have done without Andrea saying Perfecto! After every selection we made, but that was minor. He was knowledgeable of the DDP and made suggestions that were helpful. Also other servers helped Andrea clear our table or bring drink refills if he was busy. The hostess was also wonderful for allowing us to change our ADR at such little notice!
SIZE: The portions were huge and very satisfying! We didnt finish each course in order to save room for the following item.
QUALITY: Ive eaten American Italian food as well as Italian Italian food and can confidently say that Alfredos has blended the two together wonderfully! P.S. If youre ever at Alfredos get the Caesar salad it has bits of bacon and it is so delicious.
