Over the weekend, my wife and I decided to celebrate her birthday with dinner at Bistro Albertino on York Rd in Willow grove. Like most parents with young kids, we don't have the time but more importantly the money to go out to dinner very often. Yet money wouldn't be an issue on this night because a few months back, my wife and I were given a $50 gift certificate to Bistro Albertino in Willow Grove. Needless to say, we were looking forward to an inexpensive night out! We arrived at Bistro Albertino at 5:15pm. To our surprise, the place was empty! Dinner went well, service was mediocre. Then it was time to pay the bill. I placed the $50 gift certificate on the table. The waiter walks over and explains that the restaurant recently switched ownership and that they would only acknowledge 50% of the gift certificate's amount! My wife and I looked at each other as if they were joking! Seriously!? How could you expect anyone to know that considering

Great food, simple decor,friendly,very welcoming.Very relaxed atmosphere.
