It always delights us when we can dine at Alfio’s Buon Cibo. A Monday evening when it’s cold outside and we get a warm welcome and wonderful food.

About the restaurant
It is a concept of casual intimacy and communal romance. Sotto is the art of simplicity, a steward of restraint. It’s undressed, gutsy and human. It is fire, meat, wheat, and laughter. Above all, Sotto is Italian.

Excellent food, Host would do well to be more hospitable and less intent on being overtly correct by posturing his tablet to incoming guests, especially when the restaurant is less than half-full. Thank you for a great meal, will be back.

First experience with 19. We had an early reservation and it was busy but not crazy. Our serve was prompt. We ordered drinks & wine and shortly received bread with yummy butters and oil- very good! I ordered the Wedge and it was perfect. Large enough for 2 with all the fixings. Absolutely delicious- Husband had prime rib and ate every bit of it with the exception of some fat to be shared with our pups. I chose the 12 oz strip and it melted in my mouth. Cooked perfectly for my taste. We shared the corn and mashed potatoes. Both cooked beautifully but the corn was magical. When we left the restaurant was full-we thoroughly enjoyed our dinner. While not cheap but well worth it.
