Alfie's Italian Cafe — Restaurant in Gauteng

Went there sat at 7 pm they were busy but like any normal restaurant you still expect to be greeted friendly and asked how they can help waiting list etc but no eventually an waitress came to us she looked around and said sorry we are full cannot help us and than we should enjoy our evening ok so we walk out and we spot a table still dirty no guests so we asked another waiter and he said we welcome to take the table and he will come and clear up,must add the owner allso just gave as a look and turned around when we first asked for a table,ok so now we sit drinks orders taken the food order taken pizza absolutely not tasty at all beef strips tasted old as it must be kept in a freezer and reused and the the favourite pasta penne with very little chicken creamy tomato sauce tasty but portion sze of a starter at R155 totally overpriced,our overall experience was that the place and tables is dirty and tables has a sticky mucky feeling ,had to ask twice for some condiments and only salt and pepper were given ,absolute waste of time and money will definately not...

Suppose it is linked to the suburb where it is situated. Very busy on Saturdays. Be sure to make a reservation to avoid disappointment. Service not up to scratch, because not enough waiters. Maybe just temporary, because of waiters not turning up for work, but I didn't get the full answer. Manager was very friendly and helpful. He was also helping the waiters. No milkshakes are...

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...
