    I've been to Alfío's at least three times so far over the last eighteen months.The food is excellent, as is the service. Our desert order got accidentally routed to the wrong table (not sure how that happened) but the Alfio's team fixed that pretty quickly and comped us some water and a few of the deserts, so no harm, no foul. My wife and children really enjoyed their meals (3x lamb and 1x ribs). I would also mention they have an outstanding wine list and great sommeliers. If you are looking for a great place for a special occasion kind of dinner, I highly recommend Alfío's.

    Favorite place in Cincinnati. I moved away from Ohio and every time I come back this is a must have. There is not a bad thing on the menu. Everything is so good and flavorful from drinks to starters all the way to desert! You won’t go wrong choosing this place. Service is spectacular as well.

    Overall very good but not excellent. Empanadas, excellent. Duck was overcooked. The dish had a lot going on…perhaps a little overkill. Wine list is excellent.

    Outstanding experience, service at the bar and food was on point. The choose 2 duo pasta was great and the deviled eggs with skirt steak were all delicious.

    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!

    Third time at Alfio's. I hope this place never changes the atmosphere. Best food and best bar in the Cincinnati area period. The menu is phenomenal and the service is the best I've ever had.
