L' Originale Alfredo di Roma Ristorante
Located in the Italy Pavilion of Epcot
Dinner

Above all else, Alfredo’s Ristorante is authentic. From the black and white framed photos on the walls to the live accordion player in the dining hall. The moment you check in you are transported to a world of undoubtedly fine dining. This fabulous restaurant is tucked away in the Italy pavilion of Epcot. It is beautifully decorated with full painted walls and an authentic European style dining room.

After we were seated we went straight to deciding on what to eat. We picked the “Calamari Fritti” for our appetizer, and it soon arrived. Lightly fried squid in a special batter and a fabulous marinara dipping sauce was an interesting start to a great dining experience. For our main course I picked out the “Trittico Di Pasta,” which typically comes with ziti, lasagna and pasta dumplings, but I decided to substitute the famous fettuccini alfredo for the lasagna. My dining companion decided on the “Specialita Del Giorno,” the chef’s special of the day, which turned out to be salmon in a light cheese sauce. While we waited for our entrees to arrive we enjoyed the occasional music of the accordion player. This provided a truly genuine feel for the real Italy.

We were soon joined by our delectable dishes and dug in right away. My three pastas were outstanding. The fettuccini alfredo was absolutely fabulous. Thin egg noodles in a light alfredo sauce. I can’t imagine it tasting any better than it did. The baked ziti had a great tomato sauce that tasted like it was made from the freshest of tomatoes. The pasta dumplings, it turned out, were stuffed with black truffles, which made this the best part of the dish. Accompanied by mushrooms and a wonderful cream sauce, the dumplings were a fine end to an overall excellent dish. My partner’s salmon turned out to be a little dry, but the cheese sauce that accentuated it was marvelous.

It was now time for us to pick our dessert. Our waitress, Francesca, brought our a large silver platter with about six different desserts on them. We decided to share the dessert sampler. This included tiramisu, a light chocolate cake, and of course a canoli. The tiramisu was the best I have ever tasted. The chocolate cake was nice and light with some chocolate mousse in the middle. The canoli was outstanding. The rest of the desserts were just larger portions of what was on the sampler with the addition of an orange mousse.

Overall, our meal was very satisfying. we felt like we really did have an authentic meal in Italy.
