“The owner went out of his way to make us feel welcome tonight, and the waitress was attentive. We got beer nuggets and a thin crust half cheese, half mushroom pizza. Both were delicious! The sauce was really good and the crust was nice and crispy. The beer nuggets were a pleasant surprise and we’re happy to find a place closer than DeKalb to get them. We will definitely be back!“
“Alfano's has been a favorite restaurant in our family for a long time. We've never had a bad meal. We have friends from Monroe (WI) who drive past several Italian restaurants to eat at Alfano's. It's their favorite, too. I took away a star for the atmosphere because of the gambling area. It is private and quiet, but it takes up some of the previously available dining area.“
“We have been here several times. Sometimes it's busier than others, which can get loud for having conversations, but that's pretty normal & "healthy" business... we have had 4-5 in our group & been able to keep conversations going well despite the noise.Service has always been friendly & fast. Drinks & food have always been good. They are happy to accommodate any needs. Will keep coming back!“
“The workers are always super nice. It always looks super clean. We order there at least once a week. Food sometimes is really great and sometimes it's not. If their busy, I feel like they don't cook the pizza all the way vs. they aren't so busy. Either way, foods typically pretty good. They also actually know how to keep the mozzarella sticks from getting soggy, so that's a win ?“
“We stopped for a few days in Oregon IL and ordered delivery from here. The Father/Son burger was excellent! My wife loved her meatball sandwich! The delivery was a little slow, but not the fault of the driver at all. We rented a house basically off grid and it was pitch black out...my son waved him down with flashlights...pretty funny. Driver was apologetic and the food was still hot and sooooo good. Stop in here or order if you ever have the chance.“
“Food is far above expectation for Ogle Co. Dining . Service is fabulous. Downfall is that we have never eaten here and not had super wasted obnoxious beer drinking idiots playing pool. Seems like a bad business plan to drive away people spending lots of money on food for a bunch of people that drive customers away. The pool table is inconveniently placed by the front door so you have to walk awkwardly around a crowd of inebriated fools to get to your table. Every time we have come here people just get up and leave due to the rowdy folks blocking the front door and the access to the gaming machines. That being said. The food and the service (truly a rare find in these parts) outweigh the cons for our family.Kid-friendliness: I would not recommend bringing small children here. At all. My kids are big boys and not sheltered. Normal children would not fare well in this environment.“
