We visited Alfonso for the first time on Friday, November 14, and it was so exceptional that we returned the very next day on Saturday the 15th. We kicked things off with a glass of Sangiovese, which was excellent, and paired it perfectly with their crispy calamari—tender, flavorful, and not the least bit chewy. The small Italian house salad and the beet & goat cheese salad with citrus dressing were both spot-on in taste and portion size, while the garlic bread stood out with its distinctive cheese blend and deliciousness.
The entrees were generously portioned, leaving us with plenty of leftovers. On night one, the rigatoni Bolognese and chicken Parmigiana were absolute standouts—phenomenal flavors we’d order repeatedly and highly recommend to anyone. The homemade pasta and sauces were truly outstanding. The following evening, we enjoyed the fettuccine carbonara Alfonso and linguine Alfredo with grilled chicken, once again impressed by the rich sauces and fresh pasta.
We capped off the meal with a shareable cheesecake topped with berries—expertly made and the ideal sweet finish.
This has quickly become our go-to spot when staying at our cabins in the Lancaster area. We’ll be spreading the word to our guests and returning soon!
The staff was warm and highly attentive, with our server Bridget shining as a true standout.
P.S. As folks with Italian roots who know authentic Italian cuisine, we can confidently say this place delivers the real deal!
