Without a doubt, the worst Italian restaurant I have tried to eat at. Almalfi's has usurped a revolting strip mall dump in Newton Center that offered an gloppy rue instead of a cream sauce with a fruiti di mare. Almalfi's is salty, bready, garlic salty and expensive; though not necessarily in that order... I feared for my heart health after sampling their pizza, marinara and ""stromboli."" Skip it so Amalfi can better understand what a small-time, checkered table cloth ristorante italiano really looks like. I tried it ten years ago and I tried it tonight; I'll try it in ten years and let you know -- but unfortunately, I'm not optimistic about what the future portends for my feelings about Amalfi's. -JC; Jan'11
