New restaurant: Alfresco

[ron_newman]

Alfresco, a sit-down restaurant featuring 'Italian and Mediterranean Cuisine', has opened at 382 Highland Ave. (corner of Highland and Cutter). This is the space formerly occupied by Alex Pizza, Out of the Blue, Dolly's, and Kay & Chips.

(Edit 11/11/07) Alfresco is owned by the same person who used to own Savannah Grill on Elm Street.

If I wait very patiently, eventually the North End will come to me.

Because what Davis Square really needs is another brand new Italian restaurant.

Not complaining, mind you, just very amused. I like Italian. This is what, the third to open in a year? And they're already competing with Mike's and Antonia's.

And Amelia's in Teele (which is still my preferred one, though admittedly I haven't tried Sagra yet).

And Pescatore in Ball Square (my favorite).

And La Spina in the former mafia den behind Rosebud.

Calling Mike's an Italian restaurant is like calling McDonald's a steakhouse.

I was trying to compensate for my biases. No real disagreement. :}

I like Mike's, but it's not really in the same category as a sit-down place with waiter service.
