    Braised short ribs
    Chloe W.

    Top 3 favorite restaurants I've ever been to. The people that worked there were all so nice and our server made us feel so special. She explained the whole menu, made great recommendations about the menu and what drinks paired well with what we ordered. We started with the empanadas and those were fantastic. The sauces that came with them were great also. I ordered the braised short ribs with gnocchi, again one of the best things I've tasted. He got the duck and that was very good as well. It was our "pre wedding anniversary" so we got a complimentary little Bundt cake and that was good. I will be bragging on this place for a long time. We will be back!

    Lenoir was our amazing server. So sweet and had great recommendations. The ambiance is very romantic. Dark and candle-lit. The bartenders were awesome and made my partner a mocktail on the spot that complimented his skirt steak meal! The empanadas were delicious and one of our favorite parts of the meal, especially the Korean bbq. The skirt steak was cooked well and the wedge fries were crispy and buttery. Very thick cut but still good. The chimi churri was light but nice. Ordered two pastas: 1. The agnolitti was good. A smoked flavor with the sauce and squash and the short rib was perfect. 2. The veal short rib was ok. The sauce was delicious but the meat was a bit tough and not my favorite. The caramel tiramisu was good but more like a chocolate cake than tiramisu. I am a classic tiramisu gal so I would not order this again. Overall it was a great experience. This was our second time here, but the first was a NYE menu - which was also delicious. We will be returning for sure!

    Highly recommend this restaurant. The first thing that stood out was the kindness of the staff- they are all super friendly and great conversationalists. It's a very quaint spot in a super nice area and the interior is intimate and comfortable. The food was OUTSTANDING. We got the tasting menu on 4/21 and were blown away by every single dish. We left happy and full but not feeling overstuffed by any means. An excellent place to celebrate a special occasion!

    We ended 2025 on a high note, enjoying the Tasting Menu at Chef Alfio's fantastic restaurant. Lenora was an amazing waitress, the ambiance and service was incredible. We had some of the best dishes I have tasted ever here. The Tasting Menu gives you the chance to try many different choices on their menu, and every item was wonderful. Highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a true authentic Italian/ Argentinian food experience. Thank you for a wonderful food experience!

    Really cute spot in Hyde Park! Shared the scallops which have an INCREDIBLE sauce/topping. I got the signature duo pasta (one ravioli, one gnocchi) and it was rich enough for leftovers (in a good way!) I liked the ravioli better but the smokey gnocchi was also very yummy. Our waitress was very enthusiastic about the menu and knowledgeable which helped us make our decisions but with a menu like Alfios it's seems difficult to make a wrong pick!

    One of my favorite dining experiences year to date. We started out with some cocktails at the bar with a very friend bartender. Drinks were made very well. Dinner kicked off with some different empanadas with one of them being wild boar. All yummy. We also had the mussels. They were fantastic. As for dinner, I had the special of the day which was a Chilean sea bass over risotto. One of most flavorful dishes over risotto I ever had. It was great. Wine selection was good too. The on-site sommelier was great. She recommended some good wine. Overall staff was awesome we especially Cam. Highly recommend.

    Great Food and great service! Pasta choose two was very good. We got the 4 cheese and short rib one. My lamb chops were cooked perfectly. My son's short ribs were excellent. My wife got a seafood dish and liked it. The dessert was great and my son got one for his birthday. My wife and I shared a salad and it hit the spot.

    I was visiting friends in Cincinnati on a Friday night and dinner plans was a last minute thought. Alfio's buon chibo just happened to have an opening for 815 on OpenTable and Italian/Argentinian sounded fantastic to all of us and Hyde Park Square was only a 15 min drive away! Also, after previewing the menu, the chimichurri made me tap "Book Now". The restaurant was loud, in a good way, like a big family party (not like a party full of obnoxious hipsters-I was recently in a very loud restaurant, in a bad way, in Hyde Park/Tampa, Florida). Alfio's was warm and inviting, the red colored walls, dim lighting and everyone felt local. There was a bar and the restaurant space was like a rectangle, extending toward the back. We were seated in the back near a corner of wine bottles. My 2 eating partners were local and it was their first time dining in. But they had sampled their tasty empanadas at a Taste of Cincinnati festival, which made them add Alfio's to their list of restaurants to try. The hostess was lovely, and we had Alli? as our waitress & a sommelier who helped us pick wines. We tried one of the Argentinian wines not on the menu, a Trapiche Malbec. And a Barbarossa. Our waitress was the best - so friendly, took the time to explain all the dishes, never felt rushed and had a beautiful sincere smile. I felt she really enjoyed working there. There was a tasting menu (which had lamb and duck-my partners were trying to observe no meat Fridays, which failed in the end), a Specials Menu, and a booklet for the wine list. We started with the Empanadas Quatro, Funghetti, and 2 appetizers from the Specials Menu-lobster deviled eggs and lamb arancinis (4 pieces). We tried to cut the empanadas in threes, for us all to sample (we should have gotten a 2nd order); I was able to try the spiced beef or korean bbq? And it was tasty! My partners loved the spinach/cheese and corn? The Funghetti has no mushrooms (which was why I wanted to try it) but its name comes from the mushroom cap shaped pasta! It was still delicious- bits of butternut squash, sausage?, chimichurri sauce. It was my fav app. The deviled eggs were good, nothing special. Lamb arancinis were served hot and crispy with a white sauce smear - each ball a perfect 2-3 biter. We shared the flame grilled halved romaine Caesar-delicious dressing with big chunks of shaved parmesan (oh and crunchy tasty croutons!) My partners got the Choose Two pastas. Agnolotti (very rich/heavy w/ the gouda and short rib) & mushroom ravioli (wonderful). Gnocchi (definitely tasted smoky) & i don't remember his 2nd pick. I was torn between the skirt steak (the chimichurri was sparking my curious tastebuds) and the Halibut from the Specials Menu (which they say rotates often). I went with the skirt steak and it was my favorite dish of all. It was recommended to be served "medium". It was served on top of grilled Asparagus and large Yukon steak fries. My 2 dining partners sampled the steak and both loved it too. The generous amount of chimichurri sauce drizzled on top of the steak = perfection. We took the potatoes home for a future air fry snack bc they were delicious too! It was my belated bday dinner and our waitress gifted us a carrot cake with goat cheese frosting- little bundt shape and moist. Perfect for sharing. But we also tried the limoncello creme brulee which was a nice palate cleanser, not too heavy/light, creamy & lemony. Looking forward to coming back and trying the tasting menu and basically everything else! And I cannot compliment the service staff enough - incredibly attentive, sincere and friendly.

    Tiramisu
    Michelle B.

    Had a lovely dinner here on a weekday night. The tables were spaced well to allow for intimate conversations. The decor was chic, and the servers and front-of-the-house staff were very friendly. Started dinner with their infamous Empanada Cuarto, which included one each: spiced beef, Korean bbq, spinach & cheese, and chicken carnitas elote. While I loved them all, the last one was my favorite. These were followed by a Poached Pear and Fig salad with honey truffle vinaigrette, which was very large and very tasty. Our table chose two pastas to share, which came in a unique yoked serving platter: Angus & Five cheese and Veal Short Rib. The latter was made with creamy white truffle sauce. My entree was the Seafood a la Goat Cheese Pesto, which was tasty but a rather strange name as it was simply 3 scallops on a mound of pesto pasta. It was good but on the salty side, so if you need to watch your intake of salt, I would pass on this one. In reviewing the name of this entree on their menu, I see that it should have included Alaskan lump crab meat, which it did not. Wish I had noticed that when dining..... Had the Tiramisu for dessert which was a refreshing way to end the night. 5 stars for food and dining experience, but removing one star for the missing crab meat.

    Alfio's had some great dishes, but the service felt very slow. The servers were nice and knowledgeable about the menu. The price of the dishes were a bit high for what you're getting. The ambiance was great and a good date night spot. I got the angus 5 cheese and agnolotti pasta. The agnolotti only had about 2 pieces of the pasta. The duck bacon fettuccine could've been better, it was nothing special. The appetizers I think were the best part of the meal. We got the scallops, fried zucchini and empanadas cuatro.

    Made reservations here for my wife's birthday while we going to be in Cincy for the weekend. We are both fans of Italian & Argentine food & the reviews had us excited to come here for weeks leading up to our visit. We came in at 8 on a Thursday & it was very busy but we were seated immediately & my wife was told happy birthday by the hostess & our wait staff. We started with the espresso martini which I have to say was very good. I've never had one with such a substantial foam as this. It was like a foamy pudding top & the mix was great. Then we had the Caprese & the empanadas Quattro (plus the wagyu special for the night) so there was 5 of them. Having had empanadas in Argentina in the deep Andes & the cities I thought I had eaten the best out there but let me tell you these were the exceptional. I can't even pick a favorite because they were so good. Maine were the gnocchi & ravioli & duck bacon fettuccine. We were honestly so full at this point we couldn't finish it. It was great the next day for leftovers. Nicole was an excellent server & was very patient & helpful with us. She gave my wife a to go dessert for her birthday. Great food, excellent service, & wonderful atmosphere. Don't hesitate to dine here!

    Wow. It had been a long time since I had been in for a meal at Alfio's. Exceeded expectations with every dish. I was a bit surprised to find that there weren't tables available without a reservation on a Tuesday when most restaurants are either mostly empty or closed. After the meal, I totally understand why. Based on the meal I just had there, I'd put Alfio's in my top 5 restaurants in Cincinnati. More than just a casual dinner, Alfio's is special enough for the biggest celebration, but the menu is flexible enough for an upscale small bites meal on a Tuesday. One of the few places that I consistently find something new to try on the beer list, and for you wine afficianados, the wine list is excellent.

My husband and I went to dinner for our 10 year anniversary after a very difficult week for our family, and we were honestly too emotionally drained to make decisions. Our server, Jasmine, kindly took the reins and chose our meal for us -- which turned out to be the best decision we could have made. Every single dish she brought out was phenomenal. We started with the artichokes, arancini, and whipped ricotta -- each one better than the last. Then came the lemon pasta, spicy vodka pasta, shrimp, spaghetti and meatballs, and veal scallopini. Everything was absolutely delicious and clearly made with so much care. By the end we were so full we couldn't even attempt dessert. What made the evening truly special, though, was the kindness of the team. Levi, the GM, went so far out of his way to make us feel cared for and welcomed during a moment when we really needed it. The warmth and compassion we experienced there meant more than I can adequately put into words. Restaurants often talk about hospitality, but the team at Pepp & Dolores truly embodies it.

I ordered the black kale salad, cappellacci (short rib, shallot, thyme), and the branzino. * The kale salad was solid, but a bit heavy on the pecorino. * The cappellacci was decent, though the accompanying elements didn't quite work for me. * The branzino was cooked well, but overall the dish didn't stand out in flavor. In general, the food felt underwhelming for the price. My bill was around $100, and I didn't feel the quality or flavor justified it. Some dishes came across a bit muted -- not sure if that's the intended style, but it didn't land for me. Parking in the area was also a bit inconvenient. Overall: great ambiance, but the food didn't meet expectations for the cost. I probably wouldn't return.

Because it is so exxxxxxpensive, this is not a restaurant you casually dine at. But since it was my sister's Bachelorette weekend, my group of 7 treated the bride-to-be to a luxurious dinner here in May 2026. And she had a wonderful experience! The interior is gorgeous, elegant, and smells amazing. The staff is professional and runs with the efficiency of a Michellen-starred restaurant. I always enjoy watching a staff of 7 deliver the table their food like they are performing a choreographed dance. I ordered the cheapest drink on the menu - a yummy local beer from MadTree for $7. The others had much more expensive cocktails that were $20+. You won't have to worry - while their food menu is small and selective, the drink menu is HUGE. They surprised us with glasses of in honor of my sister's upcoming nuptials. That was a lovely treat! I kept to being a cheap-o and ordered the $18 "Arpege" salad as my main. It didn't have any meat but it had a lot of cheese! Yum! Others ordered more substantial mains like the scallops, the beef tartare, the halibut, etc. All were plated beautifully. I had a bite of the bolognese, and while a small portion, it was superb. You do have to pay for bread service but it is unlimited refills so on $8, the 7 of us went through 6 loaves of bread and 6 trays of delicious salted butter. I personally probably had 2 loaves on my own. My god, it was the best thing I ate the entire trip! After we ate our mains, we then ordered a variety of desserts. Most of us got ice cream (get the strawberry!!). My sister and another girl got the famous "candy bar" dessert and the cheesecake. I had a bite of the candy bar and for $15, it was the most dense candy bar ever! Sooooo much chocolate! I'll end here but with tax and tip, we paid about $630ish. My portion was $51, by far the lowest of the group. I got out relatively cheaply because I filled up on bread but feel free to treat yourself and indulge a bit more!

If you are a bourbon drinker, you should try their buffalo trace single barrel right now. My husband thought it was more delicious than most other buffalo trace, more of a cherry and vanilla hint.

Our reservation was at 7:30 and we arrived around 7:25. When we got there I noticed the table near the chef's counter was still occupied, but we weren't too concerned since the party already had their to-go bags on the table. About 15 minutes passed and they ended up ordering dessert (slowly), so it became clear they weren't leaving anytime soon. The manager offered us a different table and apologized, but Lola had been really looking forward to the chef's seating since that's specifically what we reserved. In the end we waited about an hour, which was frustrating, especially since the other party could clearly see we were waiting. Overall it was an awkward situation to be in. That said, the staff handled the situation very kindly. The manager offered Lola a tour of the kitchen and the chance to meet the chef. My daughter was a little nervous and wanted me to go with her, but it seemed like the invitation was meant just for her and they didn't want adults in the kitchen (I get it!). The manager noticed she was scared and took her hand and walked her through the kitchen which made my daughter feel at ease.

The first time we went they gave flowers to all the women for Mother's Day. This time though they're weren't flowers, they were very accommodating. My grandmother had an issue with her food, they remade the entire meal though it did take a while they gave her a treat for the long wait. The server and manager were very friendly and apologetic for the inconvenience. The food is 7-8/10. It always comes out fresh and plated nicely. I ordered their chicken sandwich and that was good! My family shared a lot of our entrees, I feel their poultry and seafood are their best. The pork chop though tender, wasn't incredibly tasty. I have not tried a beef dish. The dessert was delicious! The manager recommended eating the pan a cotta and pan de crème together and that was soooo good! It was a nice, light dessert but very tasty! I would definitely recommend trying it

    I've been here a VERY long time ago and remembered it being so good! The bruschetta was hands down…read moremy fave appetizer and the spaghetti & meatballs were fire! It's still awesome till this day! My Mr has never been here so he booked a reservation surprise for my 50th birthday (9 friends were invited). When you walk in, it takes you back in time. You feel like you're in Italy. Love the Chianti bottles hanging from the ceiling, the mosaic walls and old school pictures from back in the day. This is a family restaurant passed down from generations. And been here for over 70 years! Now that's respect! Omg! The menu is super huge! You better come here with an empty stomach because you will get what you pay for. They have everthing Italian you can think of. Except for pizza. Me and my Mr ordered: Bottle of Banfi Centine Toscana Rosso Spaghetti ala pasquale Canneloni lombardi You get a side salad and Minestrone with your meal. The food was on point! Homemade everything and made with love. The spaghetti had great flavor and love the soup that came with it! The Rosso (wine) went so well with the meal. My Mr and all my friends enjoyed their meals. They give so much food that we had to take some home. What an awesome experience! The service was excellent and the food was delicious. If you want authentic Italian food and love nostalgia, you have to check this place out. You will not be disappointed! I promise!

The absolute star of the show was the minestrone soup, it was amazing. The meals come with soup, salad and bread. I had the shrimp scampi with garlic bread
