Al's Upstairs Italian

I called to see if they would take reservations for 6. Al 's is a small dining room and I hadn 't recalled every seeing a table for six. The person I spoke with said she 'd have to check and see if they could do it and that she would call me back. She called back in about 5 minutes and said they could.

This was my first time here. With them closing I wanted to at least try the food. My friend had been in the past and raved about their sea bass dish. We had a great view by the window. I ordered the mushroom and truffle flat bread pizza and salad with candied pecan and blue cheese. The food was great.
