A favorite place! My husband and I have been going here for over 20 years! Now that the original and best Chef Roger is back after an absence for a few years, it is even more fantastic and every single dish is full of quality and flavor! It was not the same when he was away. I recommend you go and enjoy Roger's amazing menu. The servers are all too notch, especially Woody, Jason, and Brittany! You can watch people on the trail and parking is free! You will enjoy your visit! Roger is the best Chef in all of Tampa Bay! Thank you Roger for coming back!

Cafe Alfresco has been in business for 20 years, this was our first time trying it and wow. Friendly service even with a rambunctious toddler in tow, amazing food and the cheesecake to die for. Clean and inviting atmosphere in cute Dunedin.

Went there today for an early brunch. Crabcake benedict for me, French toast for the wife. Both were horrible. Crabcakes were not edible. Awesome location and atmosphere tho!

The Cuban sandwich is great. A very cozy place on a Sunday afternoon. Right of the Pinellas Trail.

Rating Cafe Alfresco is difficult as some elements better than others. We entered and walked to a seating area that was only about 15 percent occupied although many empty tables placed very close together. We intentionally picked a table in corner and out of the way of others. We asked for a high chair and placed the stroller between our table and an empty table, that entire row of tables empty. There was another couple with a stroller on the other side blocking an entire “aisle”. We were rudely told fold up the stroller. We said we can’t our belongings and items purchased are in the bottom. The lady with short dark hair said rudely that it would have to go outside. I could understand if the place was packed but it wasn’t. Of the three seating areas only one had several tables filled and we were not near that area. Additionally the other couple wasn’t asked to move anything. Our server had already taken our drink orders so although we should have walked out regrettably we didn’t. Our server was good but perhaps unaware of our prior treatment or even that the stroller was moved outside. The food was lackluster, grilled cheese for the toddler, potstickers for my friend which were not bad but your basic frozen variety steamed with one of the three surfaces slightly crisp. I ordered the blackened grouper sandwich which was a decent serving of extremely dry fish on an even drier bun. The only condiment was below average tarter sauce. My niece was so upset about the rude treatment she didn’t even order. The average food alone I wouldn’t review the cafe one way or the other. As we decided to just ask for the bill and leave my niece went outside to get the stroller, apologizing for being in another servers way who answered “ I’m just holding the door for you” My niece said wow you are much nicer than that lady gesturing towards the one that was hateful. The server made a that’s management comment. Lesson learned. Will not be going back although some servers seemed both welcoming and kind the initial rude treatment indicates why not just say families and those with toddlers are not welcome at alfresco. We visited Wednesday September 17th just before noon.

Food was delicious! Service was A++. Will be back!!
Food is 100% Sysco. Just bland. The lady servers look miserable and mad she had to clean our table. Just not a fun experience overall. Won't be back.

Always a great experience and delicious food every time I come here. They make the food fresh here and with love. Waitress are always friendly and restaurant is clean. Love the outdoor dining area. The food here is amazing and they do have dinner specials. The fried chicken special is amazing, you get 2 HUGE chicken breasts. This restaurant is a MUST-TRY whenever you’re in Downtown Dunedin! Don’t forget to ask about their menu specials.
