    This was our first visit to Alfio’s and we were celebrating our anniversary. They had a special “Happy Anniversary” menu waiting for us, as well as complimentary Prosecco toast and dessert to top it off! The food was amazing from starters to dessert and the service was outstanding. The espresso martini was the best I’ve ever had. I would highly recommend going and can’t wait to go back!

    Max was fantastic! Service and courses were timed impeccably, and everything was delicious. We had a wonderful time bringing first-time guests with us to celebrate their birthdays. They were as wowed by the entire experience as we expected they would be. We are so excited each time we have the opportunity to bring out-of-town guests to dine at Sotto.

    Everything there was great. The food, the staff and the atmosphere. We had been told by multiple people of how great the food was and ie did not disappoint. All of our questions were answered and we were able to taste a few wines before we decided on one. The portions were perfect and we all really enjoyed the food and atmosphere.
