Alfredo’s At the Inn Italian Restaurant

Great everything! Never a bad experience! Menu and flavors are authentic! Service consistent. For Mayfield it is my favorite apart from Little Italy!

I had the Crusted Artichoke and the wedge salad. I have had many of wedge salads before but this was not really a wedge.
It was served not in a wedge but as lettuce on a plate. See photo. In my travels I have ordered wedge salads in other states and this was a disappointment for the price.
My husband paid $ 15.00 for a small spoonful of Lasagne. He said it was nothing special.

Well for those of you have had the pleasure of tasting real Italian food, try to forget it.
The semi Italian stuff you get here is not even close to leftovers at a real Italian restaurant. Wrong flavored, pounds over pounds of cheese, way too much tomato, no Italian desert, coffee which tastes like sewer water.
Waited for 45 minutes between dishes. I counted 7 servers and all tried to not serve.
What a huge bummer. Don’t go there folks!

Pass. Very pedestrian Italian food. Sad pizza and mozzarella sticks. Way, way better options for Italian on the East Side like Mama Catena in Euclid.

Average food, but wonderful service by Kelly. One of our group asked for the veal dish to be prepared Marsala, but the kitchen refused, citing some ridiculous, irrational reason. I like patronizing places where «the customer is always right,» not this place where «the customer is always wrong.»
This is but one of numerous restaurants which exist only because it is located in a hotel and is located in an area with several better ones. Do your self a favor a drive a few miles and you won’t regret it.

Great service and very accommodating. Fantastic food and delicious bread while you wait! My family and I have been visiting Alfredo’s since it was Spaghetti Company-​Over the years this restaurant has shared many milestones with my family and we love it!

Wow. I thought it would be bad but it was worse…
Had the Chicken Parm. Which was an avg cooked piece of chicken. But then wait. No wait, we want to stir your food up for you, so the Speghitti sauce was in not on the noodles and that may have been on purpose. If you took your avg bottle of Ketchup and avg Can of Tomato sauce and mixed with a hand mixer, tah dah this places secret tomato sauce. Goodness it couldnt have been worse if it had been accompanied by Stale bread which in fact it was. The only saving grave was how many times the server Sneezed and Coughed without washing her hands. That way I knew to hurry and leave before I got ill from the food or staff.
Jeesh. Dont go here.

A very good meal with friendly and attentive waitstaff. The Chicken Piccata was wonderful, and Maureen was a joy as a waitress.

I do love this restaurant, as I have never had a bad meal and the bread is to die for; however, the service is exceptionally poor and has been for years. Every single waitress and waiter we have had over the past 5 years (approximately 10 dinners) has been negligent, slow, forgetful, and not very friendly. It is unfortunate because the food is so delicious and the chicken parmesan is better than any I have had any place else in the country. My fiancée has been to Italy many times and says that the veal is better than any cut you would find in Italy. I would recommend this if you keep your service expectations low and have a lot of time to sit around and wait for your coffee and water refills, not to mention the check. Typical wait time between finishing your meal completely and receiving the check is about 30 – 40 minutes and then another 20 to get your change or credit card back. The food is so good and the veal almost makes the negatives not so bad!

Absolute worst. Chef will not do anything to make any type of breakfast without butter. He has eggs and will not cook them without butter or milk!

I really like this place. Get over that it is in a hotel and it is really cute and romantic inside. You can even sit in a wine barrel booth. They have great bread, pizza and entrees. Their menu has a good selection. I have never had a bad meal here. Unfortunately I have had bad service. There are few servers who are good but the bad are very bad. I would have given it 4 stars but the service gives it 3

Alfredo’s is nothing but quality all the way!!! I’ve eaten there several times and have experienced nothing but wonderful food and service. I really enjoy the fact that their chefs can stray from the menu and make any Italian dish you desire, if there not too busy. Ive arrived after their kitchen has closed and the staff actually accommodated me with surprise.
I also enjoy the clientele while sitting at their bar. Being from Maine it seems to me the patrons are really nice as well as the bar tenders.
Bottom line, I love going to Alfredo’s !!

This review proves that what you read is definitely not always so. We just got done with dinner and it was not only good, it was EXCELLENT. We were greeted very hospitably by the hostess and staff. Our waitress was personable, recommended a delicious appetizer and was attentive. The food was very tasty and fresh. We are on vacation from Orlando, visiting family in Pittsburgh and came over to Cleveland for a few of the Hall of Fames… and was delighted to stay at the Holiday Inn here in Mayfield Heights and eat at this first class establishment. Two thumbs up to Alfredo’s at the Inn. And one more thing~the desserts are to die for!!!

I don’t usually write a negative Unilocal review, but one is definitely warranted here. Unilocal doesn’t give you the opportunity to rate a business as two thumbs down, but this restaurant would definitely deserve this rating from me after what I have been through over the past 24 hours.
I went here for dinner with 16 other people (2 tables total) on May 13, 2012, and it is safe to say that the owner couldn’t pay me enough to come back. This place charged about $ 20 for a dinner. At that price, I tend to set my expectations for the quality of food and service fairly high. Needless to say, my expectations were not met.
Service:
Our server, Roseanne, wasn’t professional enough to be working at a Waffle House, much less a place that claimed to be a decent Italian restaurant. She never checked on us while we were eating our salads or our dinners; we had to get her attention for whatever we needed. We asked her to provide us with a pitcher of water, so our glasses wouldn’t need to keep getting refilled. She gave it to us, but her body language certainly said that she did so begrudgingly. Correct me if I’m wrong, but don’t most decent restaurants have separate wait staffers in charge of keeping peoples water glasses filled? After one of my cousins asked for olive oil for our Italian bread, she slammed the entire bottle of olive oil (that looked like it had been taken right out of the kitchen) on the table in front of me. I never even asked for it! Later, one of my cousins asked for extra marinara sauce for her chicken parm. Roseanne didn’t even verbally acknowledge her and brought it out without saying anything to her. Roseanne later complained to the other half of our party that our table kept asking for too much. When someone at the other table ordered dessert, Roseanne took the dessert from the sample tray she brought out and gave it to them. Now, I am not one to make assumptions, but shouldn’t the dessert item be prepared fresh in the kitchen and then brought out? Who knows how long that item had been sitting out on that tray?
Food:
I ordered pork chops with mashed potatoes and steamed mixed vegetables and a salad to start. My wife order some type of pasta dish with pieces of chicken and pork that, apparently, had the owner’s last name in its name. I would describe the flavor of my wife’s pasta as «angel hair with ketchup.» Moreover, she found a long, thin bone in the pasta that could have easily been mistaken for a piece of angel hair. Thank goodness we didn’t have to make a trip into the emergency room. My pork chops and sides were just okay tasting. Cinnamon in mashed potatoes did not work for me. I also tasted a piece of my cousin’s veal parm. Now, I’m not a master chef by any stretch, but I’ve made better chicken/​veal parm at home using a recipe from a cookbook written by Tony Danza (yes, that Tony Danza). However, the food I ate has come back to haunt me today. I do not want to get into specifics, but I will say that I’ve spent more time in the bathroom this morning than I usually spend in there over the course of an entire day.
In summary, in my humble opinion, Alfredo’s was awful and a terrible value. The server we had wasn’t professional enough to work at a Waffle House. The cooks put out a terrible product that literally made me sick. I beg you and anyone you know to avoid this place like the plague.

Looking for cutting edge nouveau Italian? Then Alfredo’s is NOT for you. But, if you want a quick bite of traditionally prepared Italian favorites then it’s worth a look. It makes sense that this kind of Italian restaurant would be attached to a hotel: both trying to make those out-​of-​towners feel like they’re at home. And Alfredo’s makes you feel at home, just sort of making you clean up after yourself at the end of the meal.
During my visit on a Tuesday during dinner, I had the veal marsala. It was chocked full of mushrooms and a delightfully rich and abundant sauce. The veal was tender and easily cut without the use of a knife.
Portion sizes are generous, especially for dishes like chicken parm. (1 large chicken breast with a side of spaghetti. Reviews between the 3 other diners in my party were mixed. All had chicken parm. Some said it was great, one said the chicken tasted «pre-​frozen and reheated.»
Alfredo’s isn’t looking to break new ground and reinvent Italian. But if you’re looking for some good comfort food, this is a good place to turn.

I’ve been to Alfredo’s in the past and the food was ok, but after my lunch today, I think it’s safe to downgrade it to «meh.»
I had a wilted side salad and an overly soggy caprese wrap. I often say it’s hard to mess up a salad, but if a salad has been sitting for awhile, the lettuce will start to decompose. The salad I had at Alfredo’s was proof of that. Yuck-​o. Slimy lettuce. The wrap looked like something I’d make at home, although I’d use better mozzarella cheese, fresher vegetables, and balsamic dressing that tastes like something besides oil. The only real redeeming quality of this restaurant was its nice patio.
Oh well! I suppose this restaurant provides decent restaurant food, or food fit for a 70 year old’s tastes (my friend and I were the only people under 70 — no joke), but in the future, I’ll pass.

Found this the best of any restaurant in a Holiday Inn I have ever visited.
Usually the menus at a Holiday Inn are bland and unimaginative, probably why Jimmy Buffet made fun of the in his song «Cheeseburger is Paradise». This Italian restaurant is top notch, and always bussy.
Over the last few years I’ve tasted the pasta fagioli soup fresh and full of flavor with the beans cooked perfectly. The spinach salad is very strong. I also enjoyed the clams in red sauce over linguini. By far my favorite is the eggplant marinara. Slices of eggplant breaded covered with a fresh lively marinara sauce, but I always ask the chef to leave off the melted mozzarella cheese on top, and shake on a little parm
Next time I’m going to try the pizza. They make right by the bar area and it looks fantastic.

I ordered cheese ravioli with some Parmesan. One nice touch was a gigantic loaf of bread which we were also able to put Parmesan on. This restaurant was in the holiday in bar so the seating was average, but the service was great. This is high caliber Italian food.
My partner ordered the Veal Parmesan. For ethical reasons I didn’t try it but I was told it was excellent.
I guess this place didn’t exactly set the world on fire but it was good.

Wow. I’m impressed.
I was a bit wary at first. I’m staying at the Holiday Inn tonight and saw that they had a restaurant. I honestly only ate here out of laziness, but I came away impressed. I’m not usually a fan of restaurants in hotels.
The restaurant itself is cozy and dimly lit. It’s definitely not pretentious. They had Blackstone wines, which I am a fan of. I was also pleased to find that everything is freshly made in house. When my pizza arrived, it was clear that everything was carefully prepared with fresh, high quality ingredients. The cheese was just oozing from the pizza and the sprinkle of basil was the perfect accompianment.
There was a good energy coming form the clientel. I assume this is because their meals were delicious. :)
I will definitely come here again if I ever have to stay in Mayfield Heights.

I love Italian food, and this place delivers. It is a bit off the radar as it us in the Holiday Inn but don’t let that fool you.
The décor makes this a graet place for a romantic dinner or it can also be a great place to meet for drinks with friends then just hang out and have some great food.
I love sausage and Alfredo’s homade sausage is some of the best around. Their veil is also a stunning achievement. This coupled by their daily specials and fantastic deserts make it one of the areas best.
The wait staff is very pleasant and accommodating.
If you like casual dining and great Italian food be sure to visit.
