Editorial Review

It’s ridiculous, it sends a terrible message about respecting food, but it’s--we have to admit it--pretty darn fun. Poor Chef Alfredo is just trying to do his job, bringing diners platters of food. But somehow he manages to get caught in the midst of a wild food fight. What a mess! Note to parents: surprise! It’s really not a mess. The far-flung spaghetti and meatballs are actually wads of fabric with yarn, so no need to break out the stain remover. Unless, of course, this game inspires real food fights come dinnertime. Best not to serve spaghetti and meatballs within a few days of playing.

Anyway, back to the game: players use forks to fling spaghetti and meatballs at the spinning chef figure--more specifically, at the Velcro plates he holds in each hand. The player with the most direct hits wins. Sigh. Only in America. Game includes one motorized spaghetti plate, one chef, four forks and four napkins (bases), 12 soft, safe meatballs with trailing spaghetti, and instructions. For two to four players. Requires two AA batteries (not included). (Ages 5 to 8). --Emilie Coulter

5.0 out of 5 stars Should be Alfredo's LAUGH FEST!!, January 9, 2007

I bought this game for my 4 year old daughter to play with her 7 year old sister(who has Down Syndrome.) Both girls LOVE it! They quickly convinced their 16 year old brother to play.

This is one of the few games where a 4 year old and a 16 year old are on the same footing. Skillfully loading your meatball onto the fork is a matter of technique that is easily mastered by the younger set. This has brought us hours of laughter and fun so far and will become, I am sure, a family classic.

Harmless meatballs will fly over your head, giggles will follow. You might find yourself purposely "missing" every now and then just to watch them fly.

I would recommend this game for any setting that incorporates adults and children in cooperative play. Also, my two youngest can easily set up and manage the game by themselves.

I am a Speech Pathologist who is always looking for fun and interesting games to keep my students' interest. I bought Alfredo's Food Fight on a whim because it was on sale. What a great buy! It teaches such great patience, perseverence, and fine motor skills. My students loved it so much that I bought another one for home. My 3 and 5 year olds love it also! My husband talks in a Italian accent while playing the game and my children try an accent as well (their attempts at the accent are usually better than my husband's!). Great fast pace game that can be played again and again.

We bought three of them and gave two as gifts, for all three families it was the hit of the season. Little kids adapt it for their motor skills and old people adapt it for the most laughs! you get to shoot or throw meatballs at Alfredo! Who wouldn't like that? The meatballs are soft (think Cabbage patch) balls with yarn spaghetti. The kids can throw them at each other without harm but it's more fun to stick them on Alfredo's velcro patches as he slowly spins on his base.
