We were not welcome
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 11/29/07
We had been to Rome severaly years ago with a large family group (22) and had a wonderful experience at Alredo where our daughter celebrated a birthday and the staff made a big deal out of it - includig signing the same guest book as many celebrities and using the "gold fork". We were there again recently with a group of 7, including 4 teenagers, and this time, we were obviously not welcome. We were placed in a corner, the only talbe that the roaming musicians did not visit and the staff did not offer us the multiple course meal typical of Italian dinners. They suggested the signature fettucine Alfredo and that was it and we had to ask if they had a dessert menu. We had many wonderful meals while in Rome, most of which were 2 or 3 hour experiences of 4 and 5 courses, surrounded by Italians. We were in and out of Alfredo's in an hour. We will not go back, as we fell from celebrity status to unwelcome for some unknown reason. We were not dressed any differently, we were well behaved, we were willing to spend lots of money - it is a mystery.
