Alfano's Pizzeria & Italian Restaurant

"A rare 5 star. The service is amazing, but more so is the food. An unexpected gem in the middle of nomansland, Oregon Illinois. Now... for a quick drive out, this hidden gem is in the heart of downtown Oregon, right on Highway 2. Set off on its own, I never would have come but my kid has been here before. The prices haven't been hit by the current economy. Portions are fresh and huge. Be prepared for leftovers unless you are a big eater. The servers are friendly and really attentive. The food fresh, delicious, and prepared to perfection. Seriously I'm a bit stunned and grateful for this find. Oh, and the Chianti... smooth. Again a shock."

"I am from Peoria, Illinois and am visiting Oregon, Illinois. This is my first time at Alfano's and it was excellent. My server was also the owner's daughter and was literally serving every table in the restaurant. In spite of this I still had NO WAIT to be served or to receive my food and the place was packed, even on a Thursday night.( apparently locals know this is a great place to eat) My server/owner's daughter greeted many people coming in by name. Not only was service and food great, but the prices were very reasonable. The only reason my price was in the 20 to 30 range was because I had a couple of glasses of wine, otherwise would have been 10 to 20 range. I highly recommend Alfano's and will definitely be returning the next time I'm in town."

"Alfanos is a great Italian restaurant in Oregon. The bread and the appetizers are great. The pasta portions are huge and the pizza is a thin crisp crust. Whenever we are in town we usually stop at Alfanos for something to eat."

"I went here for a late dinner. It wasn't crowded. The pizza was excellent. The crust was cooked just right. There were just the right amount of toppings. The sausage had amazing flavor. I also enjoyed the sauce, it had just the right amount of sweetness. Forgive me I didn't get her name, but she was running the dining room like a champ. The dining room was that home town feel in a good way. Everything was clean and in good condition. They take care of the restaurant. I will continue to go here when I'm in the area. Bicycling: The roads near here would be fine for riding. I didn't notice any area to lock the bicycles up. Also, it would have been nice if they had outdoor seating."
