This Native Long Islander exists on pizza and Alfredo, except I don't like much of what Massachusetts has to offer with either...North End aside. Arancini's is the latest place I've tried for Alfredo and I'm honestly a bit, conflicted about how I feel.
It's good. I'll just say that right off the bat. Flavor wise, it's really good. The taste is on point; just enough seasoning, good pasta to sauce ratio, nice moist chicken. The downside is, there is WAY too much oil and I don't know why. Reason is, Alfredo doesn't need oil (outside of a little bit in the water used to cook the sauce). Perhaps they are using oil in the sauce, but again...why? The oil doesn't take away from the flavor but it does change the texture, not necessary in a good way.
I honestly can't see myself, eating a dish already incredibly unhealthy, that is also drenched in unnecessary oil but it does taste excellent. I'm giving the four stars because its good and my "dislike" may very well be a personal preference. I think I am going to try the Alfredo without check because maybe that's were a lot of the oil is coming from. I'll update my review when I do.
The last thing i'll say, sticking on the topic of oil...their bread and season olive oil is good. I mean bread is good period, we all know this. But their bread is just next level. I don't know what they put in it, but YUM!
