Me and my wife had Alfano's for the first time over the weekend while we were visiting Ottawa. Absolutely fantastic pizza! And the staff was friendly and conversational. We already have plans to come back to Ottawa in the fall and another trip to Alfano's while we're there.

Great Italian resturaunt! Very friendly staff and they are great at explaining to you what is good if you are from out of town. There is flavor in every bite! Best pizza I have had in a long time. Would recommend this to anyone traveling through. I drove 40 miles out of my way to eat here!

Interesting setup. You walk into a band area, pass up the carry out counter to find the hostess to seat you. She was very friendly. They were having a big party in the main restaurant, she asked if we’d like to sit in the band area (has a stage) so we did. A lot of choices on the menu. We got the taco sub & pizza. Sub needed something (less bread or more meat) it was ok. The Alfano pizza was fantastic. Will go back again & try something else . I believe the owner stopped at our table to show appreciation for us staying even though we had to sit in that area. It was fine. It looks like it’ll be a great place once they are finished with the whole place. Second time stopping in. We were able to eat in the restaurant, they have an engagement party in the big room. They lite the fireplace, so pretty. Plenty of seating. There were other people, just didn’t want to show in the pictures. They take reservations also.
