What Visitors Love
This restaurant absolutely blew me away. It's also a don't judge a book by its cover. The inside decor really just brings you back in time. There's so many details. From their lemon water to their bread to the main dishes, everything was absolutely phenomenal. But my all time favorite were the veggies. I have never in my life had something so wonderfully cooked. Such a gem in Clearwater.
This is the best Italian restaurant I've ever been to. We went there 8/03/2026 and the food is otherworldly! The marinara sauce is to die for! Highly recommend! 5 start everything! Extremely reasonably price too!
We had such an amazing experience at Alfano’s, and a huge part of that was because of our waiter, Jefferson! He was absolutely wonderful from start to finish. He did an incredible job pairing the wine with our meal and gave us such helpful recommendations when we were deciding between appetizers and entrées. You could truly tell he cared about making sure we had the best experience possible, and his recommendations did not disappoint! Beyond the incredible food and service, we loved the ambience and aesthetic of Alfano’s. It’s such a beautiful and inviting atmosphere that makes the whole experience feel special. We will absolutely be coming back, for the atmosphere, the food, and most definitely for Jefferson! He made our night memorable and is a true asset to the restaurant. Highly recommend asking for him when you visit! ❤️
Italian cuisine with bar area and dining area. Excellent food and service make this venue a worthy destination for your next dining experience. Two fav entrees Chicken Piccata and Chicken Marsala were very delicious.
This place was absolutely delicious! The food was fresh, flavorful, and exceeded all of our expectations. The portions were generous, the service was attentive, and the atmosphere made the whole experience even better. We left full and happy, and we’ll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a great meal!
