This restaurant is an absolute gem, skillfully blending the flavors of Argentinian and Italian cuisine to create a culinary experience like no other. The attention to detail is evident in every dish, making each plate a delicate, artful experience with a beautiful balance of flavors. The staff is both knowledgeable and attentive, offering thoughtful insights and recommendations that truly enhance the dining journey. So far, I've sampled four dishes, and each one has been exceptional—so much so that I’m still undecided about which one I’d call my favorite! The only note to keep in mind is the space itself; it's cozy but can get a bit loud during peak hours. However, the vibrant atmosphere and incredible food make it well worth the visit!

Eating here was a 15/10. The waitress talked to our group as if she already knew us and provided perfect service. The atmosphere was perfect for the occasion, getting together to celebrate family. Everyone should taste their short rib ravioli atleast once in their life. It is my favorite restaurant of all time.

The single best meal I've ever had. We came here as a late birthday celebration for my partner and had a fantastic time. We started with the scallops which were perfectly cooked and served on top of this fantastic puree (that I would do awful things to steal the recipe of). I followed that with the duck breast entree which was equally fantastic the glaze on the duck mixed fantastically with the potatoes underneath. If I was really searching for stuff to critique then the skin on the duck could be a touch more crispy and the duck cooked slightly less but that is a nitpick among nitpicks. Finally I finished with the goat cheese cheesecake which was again fantastic. Not too sweet not too funky but delicious. Make no mistake it is expensive but was absolutely worth it. From service to food expect and recieve excellence.

My husband and I visited here for the first time this weekend. We decided to try the 6 course tasting menu. It did not disappoint! Our server, Payton, was friendly and efficient, ensuring the timing of our courses and wine pairings flowed well. Every dish we tasted we enjoyed, from the salmon bruschetta to the mini apple caramel bundt cake, and the salad, harvest pasta, Chilean sea bass, and filet in between! The tasting menu is perfectly portioned to be filling but not overwhelming. We loved our time at Alfio's and will be back soon.

Our meal was excellent from start to finish! Our server (Sully) was knowledgeable about the food & wine menu down to the smallest detail and was able to give solid recommendations throughout the evening. It’s this kind of service that sets Alfio’s apart from other restaurants. The food itself was brought out at precisely the right time for each course and was absolutely delicious! We will definitely be back!

The best word I can think of to describe this restaurant is phenomenal. The arancini was a delicate, flavorful, delight. The braised short rib with gnocchi was probably the best I've ever had (both the short rib and the gnocchi). I finished my dinner with the goat cheese cheesecake which was also exceptional. The atmosphere is wonderful, lively but not overly loud, everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves very much, and the service was impeccable. I highly suggest you try this restaurant!

We The Dayton Ladies that fine dine had our October 2024 dining event here. This is an actual FINE Dining venue. We enjoyed a 5-course meal and our Signature drink was the Ellis. From start to finish our experience was impeccable and delicious. The table Service was outstanding!! Michelle our point of contact made it totally effortless. Matt was great and the Chef ( I forget her name( forgive me) anyway she is a MASTER the flavors were just so damn pleasing to our palates. I want to thank you ALL again. Chef Alfio sorry we missed you but best believe I did my research on many local chefs and restaurants and you stood out to me. Be proud of your team and I don't take team work lightly. I visited Alfio's prior to our scheduling our event. I watched, I tasted and I was pleased. Thank you ALL again!! I'd given you 100 ⭐'s if I could ! Gretta

This was our first time at Alfio's and it was one of the best meals we've had in Cincinnati. The empanadas are a must and the Agnolotti was amazing. We will definitely be back for another visit!
