I often think that many of the people who don't care for it are more expecting a "red sauce" Italian restaurant, which is found all over the place. This is more traditional Italian cooking and not the lasagna, manicotti, stuffed shells, kind of place.
I personally LOVE Alfredo's. Yes, we have had mediocre service, and a really rude waiter once, but overall I love the place. We go every visit.
