What Morgan Taylor doesn't like about Al's Upstairs Italian:
Called to make a reservation. The lady interrogated me about if the members of my party were adults or not and what exact ages they are. I’ve never in my life been asked what ages my party are. If I say x adults and x children, that is what it is. Ages of them should not matter. She had an attitude and basically insinuated that I shouldn’t bring children. Refused to make a reservation for me. Hopefully, a better rest... View all feedback. What Arnold likes about Al's Upstairs Italian:
Very good.............I probably go about 4-5 times a year and cannot recollect a problem...........Service, Quality, Atmosphere, Price.............all great..................... View all feedback.
