    This was our first visit to Alfio’s and we were celebrating our anniversary. They had a special “Happy Anniversary” menu waiting for us, as well as complimentary Prosecco toast and dessert to top it off! The food was amazing from starters to dessert and the service was outstanding. The espresso martini was the best I’ve ever had. I would highly recommend going and can’t wait to go back!

    Max was fantastic! Service and courses were timed impeccably, and everything was delicious. We had a wonderful time bringing first-time guests with us to celebrate their birthdays. They were as wowed by the entire experience as we expected they would be. We are so excited each time we have the opportunity to bring out-of-town guests to dine at Sotto.

    Lisse is in our “favorites” list for their outstanding service and the delicious entrees and sides. Their selections of fish and beef are fresh and perfectly prepared. When ordering mashed potatoes, you can rely on them tasting homemade. Our Apple tart warmed up was the perfect end to our dinner.
