Alessios is pretty good for an Italian place within a food court. It’s not like a ‘mall’ type Italian dining experience either. The guys behind the till are Italian, so you know it’s at least somewhat genuine. My issues? The place is sometimes shut without warning. Who knows why, it just is. Sometimes it’s a gamble. Also, sometimes they takes ages. The fried seafood(calamari and prawns) is okay, but you can get better elsewhere. Stick to pizza and pasta. My friend swears by the Gnocchi but I’ve never have it. I think the pizzas are pretty good and pretty well priced.

Best. Gnocchi. Ever. I love this place because it’s exactly what I feel like when I’m carb-loading for a big game. I also love the excuse of carb-loading because it means I can head to my favourite food court and get my favourite gnocchi! Freshly made, melt in your mouth potato pieces lovingly doused in homemade tomato sauce and a bunch of chopped basil — my mouth is literally watering as I type this. It’s funny — a lot of people don’t go to Alessio’s because they assume it’s «mall Italian» and they won’t like it. I say fooey to that! Don’t just assume that an outlet in a food court won’t be good, particularly in this food court! I can’t speak for their other dishes because I’m so attached to their gnocchi, but if they’re half as good as my favourite dish, they’ll be amazing.

I bought a four cheese pizza from Alessio’s for dinner tonight(I actually only went there because Sals wasn’t open(which pretty much says it all, really)). Here’s my stream of consciousness throughout the experience. - Oh great, there’s nobody eating at Alessio’s. It won’t take long for them to make my pizza. Hmmm. I’ll get the«formaggio pizza»(cheese pizza). (I wait in the food court for like 20 minutes). Mmmmm this pizza smells great. (I drive home). Damn. Look at that cheese. This is a good sized pizza for $ 14. Woah. Some of this cheese is kind of disgusting. So much damn blue cheese. Oh well. Well. That was quite a good pizza. I’m satisfied. - And then I watched Masterchef.
