    A Publix Strawberry  Cheesecake for a birthday dinner

    9 dear friends , all Belleair neighbors went to Alfano's to celebrate an 89th Birthday tonight . Two dinners were sent back because they were cold, another dinner sent back because it wasn't tasty as it used to be (was told that dish was changed up ). I brought an $18.99 cake from Publix, "cheers"cocktail napkins, marble paper dessert plates and the waiter said there would be a cake cutting fee. I agreed "assuming" I alone would be charged the fee on my bill. All 9 of us were charged $3.50 plus tax to have the cake sliced ! Almost $34.00 to have 9 slices of cake totaling $54.99 to have a $19 cake. The Belleair ladies will now never bring a cake to Alfanos to share. 4 of them also paid for the dinner that includes dessert.

    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.

    We love Alfanos

    We love Alfanos! This is our first time as a group coming to this restaurant. Austin, Jesse and Gyan were excellent servers tonight with their fearless leader James Jerichow. They were super accommodating. We had a reservation for tonight's dinner for our group- and 10 more people showed up- the staff acted quickly, and worked hard to accommodate. Food/Service/ambience was 10/10

They are known for their pizza and have other locations in Florida. I do recommend the sangria! Decent and not too expensive for the area. Most seating is inside and there were a few outdoor tables. This location is across from hotel, no water view, and near shopping. Dessert options looked amazing, but we didn't have time and we were very full. Try out.

I remember four or five years ago, using fresh garlic, not much garlic powder, it made it grainy and disgusting. And again, four or five years ago, it was so much fresher, and the quality was so much better. The cherry on top for me was the Kraft Parmesan and the shrimp cocktail that look like it came from the grocery store that cost $18 for four them (it should've not even been more than $12) if your charging $18 appetizers and $32+ meals you can't bring processed Parmesan. However, the sausage and peppers were very, very good and salad that is what is all was worth in the meal.
