Alfie's Italian Cafe

The ambiance was warm and inviting, with a perfect balance of rustic charm and refined elegance. But the real star of the evening was the food, particularly the pasta, which was nothing short of extraordinary. The service was impeccable—attentive without being intrusive, and the staff's knowledge of the menu elevated the experience even further. This restaurant doesn’t just serve food; it delivers an experience - we had starters at the Pizzeria - just as great

One of the best Traditional napolitana pizza's outside of Italy... For sure..

This was such a gem! The Food was amazing and the service was great. I tried the onion flan, it's definitely a must try if you come to this restaurant. I also had the pork belly and a side portion of Rigatoni with artichoke and pancetta. All amazing! The waitresses were super helpful and attentive. I'm glad I stopped by by lunch.

We came here as a local recommended the place being our first time around the neighborhood. At first sight, especially surrounded by fancy places, does not gives merit to the amazing food and service by the staff. We’ve been living in Johannesburg for over a year and no doubt is the best food experience we’ve had so far. As Italian as you can find here. Don’t miss this place. It’s amazing. Thanks

The food was really good at the Main restaurant but the ambiance was somewhat lacking. I do know their renovating the place but it felt really sparse and the service is not consistent, I would actually say its bad. We had two waitrons help us because the one just left to have a beer with his friend. Unprofessional. At the cafe. You had to jump around to get any attention from the waitrons. It was if the Manager left the restaurant and let the kids do whatever they wanted. ** After leaving this review the Management team went above and beyond to make sure I am a happy customer the next time I visit. For that I will bump up their ratings**

Just brilliant! Authentic Italian pasta dishes like nowhere else. A real gem, loved the Italian beer too. A quaint, distinctive place that has a great authentic feel, nice service and setting only adds to ones enjoyment of the food and experience. Edit: 08 June2024, popped in there for lunch and was once again struck by the simplicity and great taste of the food, the taste is just sublime, service was great as usual.

I must say that this cozy restaurant has left the best impressions!!! Firstly acknowledging the friendly and professional staff... Krishan you were amazing!!! He gave us an experience as he was taking our orders he was recommending meals that we can try out and that made me definitely want to come back and try different dishes. Let me take this opportunity to thank @Alfies_pta for hosting us yesterday. We had a great time and definitely the experience we were hoping for!!!! If you haven't visited this restaurant yet PLEASE do yourself a favor and go, I promise you will not regret it. Here are some of our pics enjoying ourselves

Where does one even begin with this *culinary masterpiece*? This risotto was a revelation—if you’ve ever wondered what it would be like to eat Tastic rice that spent maybe a solid *three minutes* in boiling water before someone said, “Eh, close enough." The texture? Sublime— Who needs soft, creamy risotto when you can try this new definition of al dente, pebbles of undercooked rice practically dancing in your mouth like rebellious plastic surprise? The flavour? Left a lot to the imagination.
