    I treated my sister and me to a tasting course, and I cannot recommend this experience and restaurant enough! Every course was uniquely crafted, offering distinct flavors paired in ways that were truly euphoric. A special thanks to our incredible experience creators—Sully, Allison, and the amazing sous chef Leslie. Looking forward to returning!

    We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to celebrate a friend’s birthday. We ordered a variety of dishes, all were presented beautifully and were deliciously well balanced for flavor. We split a couple items and they brought them out separately, both beautifully plated. The service was excellent, classy yet friendly. Highly recommend if you’re not afraid to spend a bit.

    Service was a little slow-– took a while just to get our water and bread. Overall, it was delicious though and a beautiful place.

    Alfio’s consistently delivers an amazing dining experience ! The food is always spectacular, great wine selection and craft cocktails. Our group of 4 had the sea bass special, lamb chops, and pasta dishes. Delicious! To make the night even more perfect we had Tyler M for our server! This charming young man topped off the great food with wonderful service and fun conversation! His pride in working there shines through as he describes the menu! Well done Alfios ! Perfect night! We will be back!
