    It always delights us when we can dine at Alfio’s Buon Cibo. A Monday evening when it’s cold outside and we get a warm welcome and wonderful food.

    Food was superb! We had a party of 4, each of us with different entrees and they were all excellent. Server was outstanding - attentive, but not overly so, and was clearly enthusiastic about the menu and chef. We loved our first visit and will definitely be back.

    My wife and I had a wonderful time at the restaurant. Everything was wonderful. I was very impressed with the menu; everything sounded so wonderful. I had a hard time choosing an entree. I highly recommend the Lobster Bisque. Just delicious richness. The dining event was just delightful. It's a must visit in Cincinnati.

    Restaurant was recommended by my daughter who dined there recently with her husband. My wife and I were celebrating my birthday. We started with the empanadas which were exquisite! Caesar salad was very good. My wife had the crusted salmon and I had the lamb chops. Food was wonderful and the epitome of fine dining. The server was very attentive and excellent. Ambience was very nice. We will definitely be back again.
