Nestled in the heart of Clearwater, FL, Alfano's Restaurant offers a distinctly authentic Italian dining experience that delights both longtime fans of Mediterranean cuisine and newcomers alike. From the moment you step inside this charming eatery at 1702 Clearwater Largo Rd, you’re enveloped in a warm, inviting atmosphere that perfectly complements its exquisite menu.
Alfano’s is a treasure trove of traditional Italian flavors elevated with refined culinary craftsmanship. The menu showcases a rich variety of beloved Italian classics alongside unique specialties, making every visit a flavorful adventure. Start your meal savoring the aromatic and delicate Escargot or the savory richness of Scallops Rockefeller, which balance buttery textures with subtle hints of fresh herbs and spices. The appetizer offerings alone reveal the chef’s dedication to authentic taste and elegant presentation.
For mains, Alfano’s truly shines. The Chicken Parmesan is a standout: tender chicken breast enveloped in crisp, golden breading, perfectly melded with rich marinara and melted provolone. Equally enticing are the Lamb Chops Scottadito, which boast a succulent, grilled finish bursting with Mediterranean flair. The Veal Osso Bucco melts in your mouth, tender and infused with herbs, while the Lobster Ravioli Alla Vodka captivates with its creamy, slightly tangy sauce that wraps each delicate pasta parcel in luxury.
Soups like the hearty Pasta e Fagiole, studded with spicy Italian sausage and tender white beans, and the comforting Wedding Soup with chicken, spinach, and mini meatballs add a soulful finish to the meal. For pasta lovers, dishes such as the Manicotti—homemade crepes filled with Italian cheeses and lavished with marinara—are simply irresistible.
What elevates Alfano’s beyond just great food is the intimate, cozy ambiance that invites lingering dinners and quiet conversation. Customer reviews echo this sentiment, with patrons praising not only the delicious flavors but the attentive, personalized service. One guest was delighted by how the staff accommodated a birthday celebration with genuine warmth and thoughtful touches, like a private room and celebratory carrot cake. Another highlighted the charming, unassuming location that belies the quality of the dishes and drinks served inside.
The dessert menu offers a fittingly sweet end to your culinary journey. The luscious Tiramisu relaxes on your palate with its harmonious layers of mascarpone and espresso-soaked ladyfingers, while the Spomoni Ice Cream Pie adds a playful, refreshing burst of Italian gelato tradition.
Whether you’re seeking a romantic evening, a family celebration, or simply a meal that transports your taste buds to Italy, Alfano’s Restaurant delivers an experience rich in flavor, character, and heartfelt hospitality. With every bite, you’ll discover the passion for food that defines Alfano’s and keeps diners returning time and again.

Enjoyed my first visit to Alfano's Restaurant. My wife ordered veal and eggplant parmesan and I ordered chicken parmesan. Our deserts were both delicious to round out our meals.
First I want to be sure it is understood I have eaten in many fancy upscale restaurants...from Costa Rica to Canada. I called to make my reservation for my son's birthday. When we arrived it was so much better than my expectations!! We were escorted to a private room. They had a birthday hat on the table. They served him a slice of WONDERFUL Carrot Cake with a candle and allowed us to shut the pocket doors and sing Happy Birthday. The service and food were so good. I have included pictures and the flaming duck was delicious!!
Excellent food service and ambiance. I had flamed duck and my husband has osso bucco. Very good. They have specials and nice tables. Bar very good as well. They also do functions like weddings etc.
Very quaint restaurant with authentic Italian. The physical location isn’t anything fancy and you may not even realize the restaurant is there if you don’t know what you’re looking for However… the food, drink and service make it well worth it. Small intimate setting and prices aren’t terrible considering how much eating out costs these days. Could have been worse!
This place was absolutely delicious! The food was fresh, flavorful, and exceeded all of our expectations. The portions were generous, the service was attentive, and the atmosphere made the whole experience even better. We left full and happy, and we’ll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a great meal!
Following my Dad’s funeral services, we hosted a group of about 20 people at Alfano’s Restaurant, and the experience was outstanding. They provided us with a private room that was perfect for our gathering. We chose to offer a choice between the Chicken Parmesan and the Lobster Ravioli Alfredo; both were delicious. The meal was well-paced and included a fresh salad, coffee, iced tea, or soda, and a delicious Limoncello cake for dessert. The service was absolutely on point. I would highly recommend Alfano’s for anyone looking for great food and professional service for a special event or memorial gathering.
Very nice restaurant. Clean and traditional. Excellent menu selection and service. The house salad was fresh and nicely balanced. The roast duck had a terrific presention and was done perfectly. This is a great choice for dinner whether dining alone in the bar area or dining with the whole family. A go-to for fine Italian dining.
