I wanted to share with you a very happy evening we spent eating dinner at Alfredo's.
We first shared the antipasto which was very fresh and so tasty. There was 4 of us.. I had spaghetti with a meat sauce, I am sort of a purist Italian..my family had Arrosto di Agnello, which they said was quite tasty, and my son in law had some sort of pasta, I thought it was gnocchi, but I am not sure, he loved whatever he had..
This is where the happy part came in, not only was the food good, but we had entertainment. An accordian player comes out of the kitchen singing Volare and the whole place was singing. Then he sang Finiculi, Finicula, everyone was singing and twirling their napkins overhead and laughing.. the laughing was just too much. He went around to tables and took requests and was just so entertaining.
When he came to our table he asked my daughter if she was Italian....she answered a little, but my Mom really is. He asked is that you Mama....and she answered yes. About a half hour later, he was back at our table singing the Italian song "Mama" that would make any Mama cry. Thankfully he sang it faster than usual, as I would have been a weeping mess,....and one by way everytime the chorus rang out another waiter was at our table to sing Mama to me.. At one point, every waiter in the dining room was singing at our table.. I was laughing so hard I was crying....what a fun evening.
If you want good Italian food, and a fun floor show, try Alfredo's for dinner. We had one of the best times I have had in WDW at an Epcot restaurant in a while.
One more thing, you know you are old when they sing Mama to you... *sigh*
