    FABULOUS! The empanadas and burrata are a must have, the sea bass was so light and bright and the goat cheese cheese cake was the cherry on top. Sully is an outstanding waiter, his descriptions are spot on and his selections are wonderful.

    Alfio's never disappoints! We enjoyed the Charred Caesar Salad, Salmon and the fettucine. I come for the Goat Cheese Brown Sugar Cheesecake and it is so so good. The cocktails were perfectly crafted, our server was excellent, the ambiance is great.

    First visit, will definitely return. Food, especially the pasta, was amazing! What stood out the most was the service, anchored by our waiter Tyler. His associates were attentive and helpful as well. They packaged up the leftover food and we can't wait to reheat tomorrow!

    The sea bass was absolutely outstanding! Perfectly balanced with a mixture of bright flavorful fresh veggies. The pasta here is always hands down some of the best in the city. You can tell it’s made in house. My permanent person had the Lobster Tagliatelle, another incredible dish! He also loves their Duck Bolognese that occasionally will make an appearance as a special. I highly recommend Alfio’s! 10/10
