Alfredo’s Italian Kitchen – South Boston

Poor Management. Placed an order to be delivered at 7:15 so the food would be hot when guests arrived. Our order came at 6:45 instead. I reached out to the manager and he claimed he didn’t receive instructions on when to deliver it even though when I placed the order the correct instructions were repeated back to me. To compromise with him I requested one of the orders to be remade and delivered at 7:15, as I originally requested, so it would be hot when that guest arrived. The manager on duty agreed to do that. The replacement order never came. I will never order from this restaurant again and will relay my experience to my friends.

Pizza is Pizza. When you need it you need it. Even though this is probably a B slice of pizza, the fact that it’s so convienent and fast makes it pretty great. The calzones are MASSIVE, picking one up Friday night will keep me snacking all weekend. Salads are great portions and the subs get the job done. It’s not the cleanest place in the world, but then again neither is the whole West Broadway/​Andrew area. Who am I kidding, I’ll probably be back there tonight!

A dive! But fantastic! Don’t bother thinking you’ll eat there. It’s not that kind of place. The food is amazing. Authentic Italian and I can see why it is so popular. Prices are very good and service is spot on. No frills. Just plain good food. A must if you are near.

One star because they delivered me a cold, soggy, wet chicken finger dinner. Still fighting for my money back. This restaurant needs to higher a professional delivery company or do take out only. Don’t deliver

Awesome! Alfredo’s helped us out in a big way for a fundraiser on Saturday night. The owner was nice enough to generously discount our catering order as it was for a charity and we were on a tight budget. The delivery came right on time, served hot, and the food was excellent. All the guest loved the selections. I can’t say thank-​you enough. Great service and even better food!

Great Italian sub at a good price. Went with the Romano sandwich, prosciutto and pesto sauce were great.

Chicken abruzzo is addicting. Don’t be turned off by how the place looks, they turn out some yummy food! Love the steak tip salad and mozz sticks… their sauce is so good!

Just for the record, I’ve ordered from Alfredo’s plenty of times. They are fast and serve up a better than average pie. Today was an odd experience though.
We ordered a steak & cheese sub and a Greek salad via an ordering app. Food came very fast – a trademark MO for Alfredo’s. Opened the bag and saw two salads. It was the same price as the sub, and we only had a short period to eat, so we didn’t call them up on this mistake and decided to roll with it. I thought maybe a Greek salad would hit the spot, but the «Greek» part of the salad was one brown olive. The rest looked like a garden salad. No feta cheese, iceberg lettuce with cabbage and carrots, and «golden Italian» dressing despite choosing Greek dressing on the one confirmed order. Oddly, we got about 20 paper plates and 2 inches of napkins with our order.
Anyway, I ate the salad. Wasn’t what I was expecting, but hell – maybe Alfredo’s is concerned about my health and I should be thanking them. I’m not salty about the messed up order. This is more if a recommendation that they slow down a bit when putting an order together. They have a good shop, but speed should never trump quality.

By far the best pizza in southie! It’s a tiny place but they make amazing food. We’ve never had a bad meal from here.

I love Alfredo’s Italian Kitchens! This one in specific has the tastiest pizza in Boston, hands down. It doesn’t just end there… pasta, steak tips, salads – everything – are all just mouthwateringly tasty. My favorite thing about this place is how I leave with a full stomach AND a happy wallet; I find that at many of the nearby places, you sort of have to pick one or the other – you can’t have both like you can at Alfredo’s!
My recommendations for pizza are the shrimp scampi and the buffalo chicken. For pasta, I recommend the chicken broccoli alfredo. Honestly though, you can’t go wrong with anything on the menu. If it doesn’t taste absolutely fantastic, I seriously doubt Alfredo’s would serve it.
I work nearby and have been stopping by for many years now. The quality of the food and the courteousness of the staff is unmatched.
If you’ve never tried this place before, cancel your lunch/​dinner plans today and get yourself over there, you won’t regret it. I strongly recommend this place!

This is an update from a previous review. I had terrible lasagna a few years back… However, Alfredo’s has definitely redeemed themselves. I ordered eggplant parm with pasta and it was definitely tasty. Classic and good. And a substantial portion– definitely enough for two meals. I also had the shrimp abruzzo the following week (I was impressed enough to try again!). It’s basically a creamy tomato sauce– was really delicious. The rolls are delish. Definitely a safe bet for some easy local pasta. I’ll be back I’m sure.

Pizza is consistently great and delivery guys are always friendly!

We were looking for a new pizza delivery place and we keep striking out. Ordered a large pizza from Alfredo’s on Monday night. Half veggie/​half margarita. The margarita was good. The half that was veggie was so soggy! We had to throw it away. We were really disappointed. I really think pizza delivery places need to make sure their pizza’s aren’t soggy… the box was soaked through on the bottom. Gross!

Very quick.
Very friendly.
Cheeseburger plate was decent.
Pizza was better.
But why does your vent smell so bad?
It makes me re-​think what I eat from here.

Cheap and decent food sold here. I got the eggplant parmagiana and chicken piccata. The eggplant was legit good, but i didn’t particularly like the chicken piccata. The eggplant was sold as a side for $ 6.50 and chicken piccata fed 2 at $ 13.00. The guys working were pretty nice as well.

Love this place! The staff is friendly and comical, they know how to make me smile.
It’s a small cozy place and can only eat in 3 people. So deliver or take out!
Pro tip: if your ordering Alfredo pizza or pasta get lemon wedges on the side and squeeze that bad boy all over it! The lemon cuts the cream, bringing acidity to the dish thus making it lighter on the palette.

Got delivery from here via foodler, and the delivery time was on time.
It’s expensive, so I had higher than normal delivery expectations.
The Scampi was HUGE, came with 5 – 7 shrimp added on for $ 5. It was better reheated, maybe because I then had a chance to get the sauce all over the pasta. Maybe filling it to the brim wasn’t the best idea… Also, the bread with it was very tough.
The pizza was up there with the better delivery pizzas.
The jalapeño poppers were the TGI Fridays variety, For $ 9 I expect better. And they weren’t still hot when we got them, as opposed to everything else, which made me think they were made for another order/​cooked way too early.
The garlic bread was really nice.

Update:
The owner contacted me directly and offered an apology along with an offer for delivery to our apartment (even though we are in fact out of the coverage area). My bad. Definitely going to try this place very soon to see what all the hype is about!

Ordered pizza from here one day because it was the highest-​rated pizza place near the South End that delivered. Got a medium Veggie pizza and a medium 4 Cheese pizza to split among 5 people. There was enough for everyone even though we were hungry, so the portions are good. I was unimpressed with the veggie pizza, it seemed to lack sauce, although the vegetables were definitely present in a big way. They were pretty much all I could taste of that pizza.
The 4 Cheese pizza was one of the best cheese pizzas I’ve ever had though. It was heavy on ricotta cheese which I was unsure about when ordering, but it was such a good choice. Just really good pizza. A lot of cheese on this one and still not enough sauce, barely a hint of red, actually, but the deliciousness of the cheese made up for it.
Delivery took a shade too long at 50 minutes, seeing as they’re just over a mile away, but at least the pizza was still hot when it got to us.

Anything you order on the menu will be outrageously tasty. Not sure how these guys do it in the tiny ass boiling kitchen but the food is unmatched for the price.
