Alfio's Buon Cibo - Cincinnati

First time here with my husband for a date night and we were blown away!! Can’t believe we’ve never been to this place. Service and food are amazing. We got the empanadas, short rib gnocchi, and the pasta duo and LOVED everything. Also took home dessert which was delicious. Will definitely be our new date night spot. One of the best restaurants in cincy!!

We were seated in probably the worst seat in the house when we had reservations. The table was uneven and shaky. Server noticed this as she nearly spilt our drinks because of it and didn’t even offer to move us. She was nice though. Food was just okay. Server told me chef suggests medium well for flank steak. When it came out it was cold in the inside and purple. When I asked she said I told you medium. Either way it wasn’t medium it was rare to raw. Offered to remake it but I didn’t want to be that customer. For them to claim to be Argentinian. Don’t go there and expect an Argentina quality steak. Chimichurri was good but that’s hard to mess up. I should have got a pasta dish. Drinks were good. All in all I felt we were put in the worst table in the house when there were other tables available. I would not go back for the price.

Fantastic dinner experience. Have dined here before and love the quality of the food and the ambiance. Service was particularly exceptional. Our waiter Tyler was super knowledgeable and helpful with recommendations and so personable. He really took the dining experience to the next level. His recommendations of braised short rib and Chilean sea bass special did not disappoint. Packed full of flavor and pleasantly plated. The chocolate caramel tiramisu was top tier and we even got to try to chocolate Bundt cake with peanut butter whip which was rich and decadent. Overall a great date night find and fantastic dinner experience.

Always a beautiful experience when I dine here. The service is professional but personable, the food is truly some of the cities best, and the cocktails and wine are stellar. One of my fave places to dine in the city and possibly the state, tbh.

Fantastic food, service and atmosphere. Tyler, Alfio, and the entire staff went above and beyond to create and enjoyable and memorable experience. Highly recommended
