We truly appreciate the excellent service and delicious food. A special thank-you to Sammy, the Food and Beverage Manager, who is a perfect fit for his role. He’s awesome and made our experience even more enjoyable! Essam and Family New Jersey

Don Alfonso was an exquisite experience from start to finish. The interior is gorgeous and the atmosphere was lively for a Friday night. It was my first time and I was blown away by the service and the presentation of the courses. Olivia was an incredible server who made my experience 10/10 once she realized I was celebrating a new milestone in my career. She went above and beyond in every aspect, while being knowledgeable about each dish and charming with her delivery. I enjoyed the L’Anatra, the Linguine and the Bisonte with a dark chocolate almond cake with vanilla ice cream as my meal. My night was ended with a lovely tour of the restaurant to celebrate the history and identity of Don Alfonso provided by Olivia herself. It was an unforgettable night and I will always recommend Don Alfonso 1890 for a night of elegance and celebration.

The covered back patio appears to be in operation year round. Heated and cozy. Service was prompt and helpful. Cocktails imaginative and fun. Food was great. The salad awesome. The meatballs (3 served with an intensely flavoured red sauce) were remarkable- the best anywhere. The nduja and shrimp pasta was terrific. My companion had the Cacio e pepe. Instead of the expected toothsome al dente bucatini, the pasta was like wide lasagna noodles wrapped in the shape of a crown. It was ok but didn’t quite provide the same effect. All in though - great. We shall return.

    This was 3rd visit to DaNico, outstanding as ever. From service to food- exceptional, the tasting menu was just perfect, they even made a couple exceptions that were just delicious. Our server was friendly and very knowledgeable with all the courses and took the time to chat with us, he was awesome. Cannot recommend DaNico enough for a celebration dinner, just perfect.
