Alfanos - Clearwater

10/10 great service, food, and the ambiance is just charming! We were on the island and there aren't any real restaurants there so we opted for this one, and I had been here before! So I wanted to make a review! If you are looking for a spot that needs good quality food and a great space for a quiet dinner (or lunch! , this is the place. I got the specials Crème Brûlée Martini and the Lasagna with Alfredo Sauce and it was absolutely delicious!

Everything was such a delight! Steak with Marsala sauce was one of the best meals I've had in quite awhile. The lemon cake was out of this world! I loved the homey atmosphere and comfy chairs in dining room. Our server, Nicholas was also so wonderful and really added to a great dining experience. So glad I've finally found this gem after living in the area my whole life! Please stay the same forever!!

Beautiful establishment capturing the Italian vibe. Staff is welcoming and friendly. I've been here twice in the last three weeks, one time for a birthday celebration and a second time for a community dinner. It is apparent that the restaurant can handle a small group, but it appeared they were understaffed for the large event. The birthday party was under the lighted umbrella. The service was impeccable (Nick), and the food was very good. I had the pasta with meatballs and my guy enjoyed the best pork chop ever. For the large event, the chicken and salmon were served hot. The penne bolognese was cold, not lukewarm but cold. Here's where I agree with many of the reviews. Although the restaurant is very nice and the food is good, it is overpriced. I'm referring to the pasta plates in particular. The cocktails are pricey also, but it was shocking to be charged $27 for a tall double Tito with cranberry. The red sangria was very tasty. All in all, it is a nice establishment just a bit overpriced.

Thursday evening I was at Alfano's with a large women's group for dinner. We were provided with a separate room and the service and food could not have been better! A woman at my table has food allergies and the waiter did not hesitate to help her. He quickly removed her plate provided her with a new one and also gave her a marvelous dessert! The waiters were very attentive, the glasses were never empty, and they were quick to respond to any extra orders. Everyone at the table was delighted with the food! Will not hesitate to return or to recommend Alfano's! Many thanks!

I love Alfano's. The food is consistently great as well as the drinks. Service is always superb. The atmosphere takes you back in time. A must try for great Italian food.
