Alfredo's

 is the finest Italian restaurant in Old City. It is also Dr. Helen Magnus' favorite place to eat at; personally knowing Alfredo himself.

In the year 2010 after having visited Hollow Earth, when Dr. Will Zimmerman wanted to take Abby Corrigan out for their first date, he wanted to make a good impression by taking her to the best restaurant in town that he's only ever heard of. Being a renown dining experience for the exquisite quality of its food, Alfredo's is always full and booked months in advance. In order to place a reservation for a table, Will secretly used Dr. Helen Magnus' name while she was on a mission out of town. This effort was all for naught though, as Will and Abby were subsequently abducted by the Vendetta Crew during their pre-dinner street-roaming activities, causing them to never make it to the restaurant.

With the first no-show in 30 years, the sight of an empty table became "poison" to the eyes of Alfredo's mother. This absence prompted the maitre d' to make an inquiry call to Helen's office phone at the Old City Sanctuary; presumably the number Will had used to make the reservation. After Kate Freelander took the call, dubbing the maitre d' "Screamy McNaples", she relayed the incident to Declan MacRae and Bigfoot, both of whom knowing full-well the ire from Helen Magnus that lay in wait for Will once she returned home.

Eventually, word did reach Helen about this and she called Will out on it the first appropriate moment she got, saying it was "incredibly low-brow" of him, as it put her in a bad light with Alfredo; whom she is still trying to make amends with.

Some time not too long later, both Will and Henry Foss had independently made reservations at Alfredo's for their respective dates. A slight hiccup occurred though. When both couples were simultaneously getting ready to leave the Sanctuary one evening, both Will and Henry realized that they had unknowingly each used Magnus' name, booking the exact same reservation for the table in the back room at 8:00 PM that night. With only one private room available, while the boys squabbled over who gets it, both Abby and Erika Myers decided to compromise and double date to the slight chagrin of their lovers.

However, once again date night at Alfredo's did not work out as planned. Due to an abnormal pickup gone wrong, the party of four never made it to the restaurant. When they were originally just running late (before the issue escalated too far out-of-hand), Abby had called ahead to notify the maitre d' about possibly holding the table for longer (potentially an extra half an hour). He returned her call a few minutes later with an update about the extension, informing them that it would not be possible; resulting in the group losing their table as it was passed on to the next customer (avoiding another potential empty table scenario for the restaurant). [Note: It is assumed that Alfredo's had then contacted Helen herself about this repeat no-show issue based on the scene below.]

Presumably feeling guilty about the two couples missing their date (due to her requesting of them at last minute to side track their night out to deliver an abnormal for her first), Helen surprises the group when they eventually return to the estate by having had the dinner brought to the Sanctuary instead; setting it up in her study for them to enjoy with her. This consideration is out of the ordinary for the restaurant, as Alfredo's normally does not deliver; they however were willing to make an apparent exception for Dr. Magnus though.
