"We had an office holiday party here last weekend with 55 people. The service was amazing! We had two dedicated servers/hosts, but the entire staff was so helpful and knowledgeable whenever we needed anything. Price was very reasonable for what we got—outdoor area and games with drinks and Photo Booth for two hours, and then our own private area inside for the rest of the night, with starters, mains, and desserts, along with a lot of drinks. Can’t say enough good things. As the organizer, my experience was made so much easier thanks to Alfi—no stress for me thanks to them."

"Absolutely lovely Italian restaurant! We did the Wine Wednesdays experience, which was a great addition to the night. Ordered the Diavola pizza which was fantastic. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, with great music that added to the experience. Huge shoutout to Molly, Roo, and Reem for their outstanding service—they really made our visit special. Will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend!"

"Came here for our work’s Christmas Dinner. The food was tasty & plentiful and the venue was fun. Our host Beth made the evening extra special with her upbeat personality and attention to ensure everyone was happy and had what they needed throughout."

—Darren C (Dec 25)
"Alfi in Shoreditch is an absolute gem — a must-visit if you’re a fan of proper pizza done right. I popped in recently and had a Margherita pizza along with their garlic bread, and both were spot-on. Simple dishes, yes, but when done well, they really shine — and Alfi nails them."
