From the OpenTable editors: Don Alfonso 1890 is the epitome of fine dining, from the delicate Italian plates to the chic decor. The restaurant has collected countless awards for its nuanced approach to Mediterranean cuisine, including one MICHELIN star. The tasting menu is a can’t-miss experience, but a la carte dishes like ravioli stuffed with pheasant are equally tempting.

    Our dining experience at Don Alfonso was excellent with exceptional and attentive service and wonderfully curated dishes. We enjoyed the a la carte menu. Particularly the ravioli, which we both ordered. One small issue, and this was very minor, was that the dessert selection was underwhelming, particularly after the top-notch level of the previous courses. In hindsight, we would both have skipped the desserts and opted for the cheese option. As this was a special occasion, Don Alfonso comped our table a selection of petit fours and these FAR outshone the regular dessert offering. They were original and well thought out - delicious, as well. Not wanting to appear ungracious, because it really was a lovely touch, but the double-dose of desserts was a bit much - again, we would have skipped the dessert course had we known another plate was on its way. All in all, an incredible dining experience and we would highly recommend it to anyone.

    The experience was fantastic. My family had a great time together. My husband and I celebrated our 24th anniversary at the restaurant. They served us with the best meal and dinner. We will come back again.

    Oh my - this was an amazing haven of different flavors and culinary experiences. Thank you to Naelton for your precise and great attention, and kindness! Everyone else was so sweet too. Top notch restaurant I can only highly recommend! The view is fab, but it fades compared to the food 😄, that is how good the food is. Thank you!
