    We were a party of 8 with one gluten free guest. The chef did a great job accommodating our request as we all had the 6-course tasting menu. Our server, Cameron, was on top of it every step of the way with both drinks and food. The drinks came out fast and the meals were all served at the same time. Cameron also described every meal in detail, including the gluten free option. We will definitely be back!

    DELICIOUS food. Wonderful service - we had the NICEST server. She was personable, considerate, and provided great feedback on food selections. The amount of food was great, plus the quality, made it worth the cost. We plan to come here again!!

    My daughter and I dined at Alfio’s for the first time. Our server was Peyton and she was extremely knowledgeable and helpful when it came to the questions we had about the food and drinks. I tried a mocktail which was delicious. That suggestion came from your sommelier, Karlyn. Both of these gals were so pleasant and checked on us periodically. I would certainly come back another time.
