My wife and I made our first visit to Alfio's for our 35th Anniversary. We were not disappointed. Our server Coco made us feel right at home and provided excellent recommendations based on our menu questions. The lamb chops and pistachio crusted salmon were both outstanding. We will definitely return to work our way through the rest of the menu items.
Very nice atmosphere. Extremely comfortable chairs. Service was impeccable. Food was good. A few bites of the steak were grisly. Empenadas had a good flavor. Parking was a little hard to find so come a few minutes early. They told us Michigan was your best bet. They have some very interesting pasta dishes I would be interested in trying next time. Would recommend. In a very cute area.
The hostess was so pleasant and friendly. She seated my son and me in a cute alcove that was so comfortable! Our waitress, Coco, was incredible! She knew everything about the menu and brought the sommelier over when I asked about a "spicy " wine. He proceeded to bring 3 wines to taste!! How wonderful. I was completely overwhelmed with friendliness. I felt taken care of!!
Then, Chef brought a freshly made app because mine was lost..and the sommelier brought a special gift as well.
They really take care of their guests here. I will go back a million times! My entree was soon delicious!!
We have been going to Alfio’s for just over a year now, and we continue to believe this is the best restaurant in town. Everyone from the area needs to experience this place. From the unparalleled knowledge of the bartenders and sommes to the attention to detail of all of the wait staff, everything is just about damn perfect. Everything the kitchen makes is just fantastic, and everyone here seems to genuinely enjoy working at this restaurant. We recently had a dinner before our wedding with close friends and family, and the staff took care of us and made the night extremely special. Whether you are going to a big wine dinner or small bourbon dinner, or just ordering off the normal menu, you can’t go wrong. Do yourself a favor and give Alfio’s a try.
The picture are from some of the meals we have had there over the past year. Don’t let the portion size fool you, most are from the 5 to 7 course dinners. As Alfio told us… “if you walk out of here hungry, my grandmother would slap me.”
Nice ambiance. Loved the mushroom ravioli however lamb chops were a bit bland. Would however visit again.
For starters, this place has a really unique menu -- I can't say I've seen an Italian/Aregentinian mix anywhere else before, and several dishes caught my eyes. Our server was awesome and very helpful/insightful. The pistachio crusted salmon was amazing -- perfectly cooked salmon and that smooth squash was a perfect pairing. The pasta rustico sauce had a good balance of richness and lightness, and it was an all-around good dish. I'm in love with their dessert menu. I wanted to try everything, but guess I'll have to come back for more. There's several "famous" dishes here, from the raviolis to the desserts. Alfio's is a lovable spot for a nice occasion, and they get my recommendation!
The professionalism and attention to detail was so refreshing! The portions were perfect and perfect for ordering many things for the table to share. Yes the food and the reviews are as good as they say. The beet salad was the overall favorite, I contemplated getting another for us at the end if we kept chatting. They were incredibly gracious to my tired kids and if I know anyone visiting Cincinnati, I will surely recommend Alfio’s!

Excellent place to dine. I will return. The service was impeccable. Each dish of food was plated well, tasted amazing and our entire party was more than satisfied. Highly recommended!
Was really one of the best meals and dining experiences I have ever had. Wonderful atmosphere. Friendly staff that all worked together to care for patrons. Wines were lovely. Mock-tail for my older daughter was quite good. Pace of service was never rushed (apps, salad, main, dessert & espresso). So so good
We had a wonderful time dining at Alfio's for my birthday dinner. Sarah made us feel so special and like we were the only party in a packed dining room. The food and ambiance were incredible. We were so happy with our dining experience.
Wow! It was an amazing experience. Took my wife for her birthday and everything was fantastic! Our waitress OG Sarah was awesome and took care of my special girl. I will definitely be going again soon. Thank you Alfio's!
One of the best restaurants in the Cincinnati area. Homemade pasta and desserts. If you can't decide on what to eat try the ravioli duos, you can try two different types of pasta. Try to save room for desserts. The Carmel Apple bread pudding is a must try.
This restaurant was amazing! The atmosphere, service and food was great! Our waitress was Sarah and she did a wonderful job! So friendly and helpful! We will definitely be back!
Service was great, everyone was kind and attentive. We got the center cut filet and risotto. Steak was quite perfect but the chicken with the risotto was bland. We also enjoyed the empanadas - some unexpected but yummy combinations. Overall a good experience, but not exceptional.
Alfio’s has become a favorite of ours over the last few years. Everything at Alfio’s is done well. You feel like they’ve prepared for you the moment you arrive. Your table is always ready on time and the staff is always exceptional! I believe they really enjoy what they do! Alfio himself is a lovely person who is very passionate about his restaurant. He comes around and thanks you while smiling and enjoying himself. This place is special. The price is more than fair and the experience is unforgettable every time.
We had a dinner reservation for Saturday evening. We showed up a little early, so we ordered a drink (great bourbon/wine selection) prior to being seated. We started with a bottle of Malbec and the empanadas. For the main course we ordered the short rib/gnocchi and the skirt steak. Both were fantastic!! We ended with the apple bread pudding and the chocolate moda antica cake (took home, lol!). Excellent food, service and atmosphere!! Highly recommended!
Fantastic as always! Empanadas were perfect! Lamb Chops were delicious and the braised short ribs were amazing! Dessert was excellent but I want more short ribs! Can't wait til next time!
Absolutely was some of the best food I have experienced hands down! Euphoric is the most appropriate word to describe the duck bacon pasta. I had to stop myself about a third into the meal to make sure I had seconds and thirds at home. I can also attest that it was good reheated.
Service was tremendous as well. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. Gave their pics and pointed out menu items that may satiate a particular taste.
Atmosphere is exactly what you would hope for. Perfect lighting, distancing and volume level.
