I had a fantastic Mother's Day brunch at Casa Don Alfonso with my family. The restaurant offered diverse food selections, and the staff provided outstanding service. The overall experience was wonderful, and I highly recommend Casa Don Alfonso for your next brunch outing.
We had an amazing pre-Mother's Day celebration at Casa Don Alfonso. All of the team was extremely gracious and accommodating to all our requests. Our server, Heather, was very knowledgeable and proactively worked to ensure that we had the best experience possible. Love the impromptu visit from Chef! What a great touch! We will certainly be back.

We are outside. Heaters not working. amazing waitress Katie but rest of servers awful. brought bread, no plates, oil etc. Fire table center didn't work. Food not flavorful. The 5 others said not good. gorgeous restaurant though. Nice manager but back up staff needs training.

This restaurant is stunningly beautiful, the service is excellent and the food is delicious. Definitely a wonderful place to celebrate a special occasion! ***Unless you're staying at the Ritz they charge $10 to valet.
$50 “brunch” was more of a large breakfast buffet. Food selection was essentially eggs/omelettes/etc. Waiter was nice but barely showed up at table to check on things. Had to send Bloody Mary's back as they had no flavor whatsoever, just plain tomato juice and alcohol, nothing else. Second round was better. Zero consideration when the bill came. Won't return.

This is the most beautiful restaurant that we have ever visited, the decor and design is simply outstanding. Even better the food is just wonderfully great, WOW. Special mention goes to Greg, the General Manager, Juan and Paul two very thoughtful and skillful waiters. Each made our visit memorable. We had dinner and followed that with the morning Breakfast Buffet. One thing they do that is really well thought out. We like to split orders and Casa Don Alfonso does it the way it should be done, they divide the order in the kitchen and serve it beautifully presented, just like it was one order, just small. This is really a step above. This was not our first visit to Casa and will not be our last.

Extremely happy to see that the beef carpaccio is back in the menu, we asked for it and was delicious and well presented as always. All food was great, the tuna tartare, the Quattro formaggi pizza, the parm ham pizza and obviously the espresso tiramisu that is our favorite. Thank you Dallas, Greg and all the staff for making of our dinner a great experience! The friend we invited for her birthday really enjoyed the service, the food and the restaurant.

Great staff, service and atmosphere. First time here. Beautiful restaurant and ambience. Food was very good. Unfortunately, it is just too expensive to justify the cost. For example, we arrived early , had a drink. One glass of everyday Chardonnay, plus a Whistle Pig 10!year Bourbon rocks, ~ $70.00. Just not justified. Add dinner and tip we walkout ~$325, for a nice mail in a beautiful spot. Just too expensive.

Excellent restaurant in a bright cheerful space unlike most dark and dim fine dining experiences. (Perhaps because it also serves as the hotel restaurant at breakfast.) Service is excellent and at the chef's table you can watch the making of fine pizza and bread. Pricey but worth it.

We arrived late due to weather, however they accommodated us. We loved the restaurant. It felt upper class and that you should expect a fine dining experience. Everything was good, but nothing was great. The value for the price was slightly off. We would go again, however it wouldn't be our first choice. The food was good, not excellent. The service was good, not excellent. The restaurant itself made for a very pretty setting. The overall price was predictable but overall a little overpriced.
The restaurant is a nice addition to the neighborhood. It's very expensive! We were disappointed that our favorite item on the menu was no longer being served....The English Pea Soup. They gave a very odd explanation!

This was my first time here and I am in love. The brunch was fantastic. Any and everything you want is available and delicious! They had a lady violinist and vocalist that blew my mind. She made the ambiance even better. The staff were kind, accommodating and the perfect example of what service should be. We tried everything. Everyone should treat themselves to this experience at least once. I will be back. I forgot to take more pictures I was having so much fun.

Great service, very attentive as you would expect in a fine dining restaurant. Owner made his way around dining floor and checked in with most guests. Very friendly staff overall. Food was very good, had great appearance, and was fresh. Ambiance was nice and enjoyed for our birthday celebration. Staff served a unique Tiramisu that was very much enjoyed and topped off a pleasant Happy Birthday circular and wavy chocolates. Nice dining experience for all occasions. We enjoyed how everyone dining was dressed nicely.

My experience at Casa Don Alfonso in the Ritz Carlton hotel was absolutely enchanting! From the moment I walked in, I was captivated by the inviting atmosphere and warm hospitality.I started my culinary journey with a delightful selection of appetizers. The margherita pizza was a perfect blend of fresh tomato, basil, and creamy mozzarella on a thin, crispy crust. The charcuterie board featured an array of savory cured meats and artisan cheeses that paired beautifully with the house-made preserves.For my main course, I savored the fresh lettuce salad, bursting with vibrant flavors and crisp textures. The braised beef ravioli was a true standout – each tender bite filled with rich, savory goodness.To end on a sweet note, I indulged in the orange frivolezza, a heavenly dessert that perfectly balanced citrusy freshness with decadent sweetness.The innovative mocktails, non-alcoholic options, were as creative and delicious as any cocktail, providing a refreshing and satisfying alternative.The culinary offerings at Casa Don Alfonso truly reflect the traditions and passion of southern Italy. It's evident that each dish is crafted with care and attention to detail, showcasing the best of Mediterranean flavors.Mario Iaccarino's dedication to hospitality and authenticity shines through in every aspect of Casa Don Alfonso. I felt transported to the Sorrento Coast, surrounded by the essence of Italy in every bite.I can't wait to return and create more cherished memories at Casa Don Alfonso. Grazie mille for an unforgettable dining experience!
