    20 Feb 2021... We're from Daytona, and found Alfredo's as we were driving thru the area. We ALWAYS prefer to try locally-owned restaurants rather than larger chains and franchises. Soooo glad we hit Alfredo's, and absolutely love the fact that there is indeed a man named Alfredo who owns this place... Not only does he own it, but he's happy to greet you when you enter and say good-bye when you leave. Everything we ate was excellent! The most important test I apply when trying a new Italian restaurant, is the red sauce test. If the red sauce is no good and nothing it touches will be good either. Alfredo's red sauce is absolutely delicious. If he sold it by the jar I'd buy it! we both had eggplant dishes, my wife had eggplant parmesan while I had eggplant rollatini. As you can see from our pictures, everything looks delicious and tasted exactly the same way... we highly recommend you give Alfredo's a try. We don't think you'll be disappointed! Also, I'd be remiss if I didn't mention that our server, Amanda, was absolutely excellent! She took great care of us. Thank you Amanda!

    Authentic chef with wonderful atmosphere! Great experience from the moment we walked in the door. Excellent breads! Staff friendly. Chef came out and talked about the food and asked what we thought. Don't need a reservation,but would do it if you are planning on being here at peak times. Prices are reasonable and portions are generous.

    Tried out this place rather than going back to our favorite local Italian place. Good value for the money. The flavors were good but the menu didn't have enough variation. Most of the dishes over lapped with with either sauces or ingredients. Our server was lovely and did a great job. I got the Fettuccini Alfredo which was $14. Then I added chicken and mushrooms for $2 each. Also the garlic knots were good but the garlic toast they bring out for the meals is better. Also don't waste you time on the sweet tea. Overall this was a good experience. Try it and see.

    Fantastically exceptional Margherita pizza! I never knew I have been wanting a pizza like Alfredo's Margherita. The pizza had a nice crunchy bottom that didn't get soggy, a very healthy amount of the freshest ingredients I've had which were mozzarella, tomato and basil. We got garlic knots too, and though it didn't come with sauce, it didn't need it. The bread knots were soft and chewy with just the right amount of garlic taste. Everything was very flavorful and delicious. If their pizza is this good, I can't wait to go back and try their other Italian dishes. They are only open for dinner though, which is sad to hear because I'm sure the lunch menu was just as tasty. The only thing that is wrong is that I haven't heard of this place before, and it has been here for almost 20 years. They need to put up roadside signs and let them be known on social media groups/platforms. I have found my absolute favorite pizza/Italian restaurant.

    It felt like being in Mama's kitchen surrounded by family. Absolutely spectacular. The staff made us feel welcome and were pleased that we were with them.Drink refills were at the table before the glasses were empty.The food was incredible from appetizers to the main meal .Pricing was lower than expected considering the fantastic flavors and the large quantities. Call for reservations !!

    Had a horrible experience with Alfredo's. I had booked a cooking class as a date night for my wife and I ($75 per person) many weeks ahead of time. The weekend before my Tuesday class, my grandfather had a heart attack and I flew out of state to support him in the ICU. I called Alfredo's number Monday morning to try to reschedule as we were clearly not going to make it to the class Tuesday night. I heard nothing from them. I then called again Tuesday morning (the day of) to try to talk to anyone at all about the situation. I heard nothing again. Wednesday morning (the day after the class) I got a voicemail message from Alfredo stating that because I was unable to cancel a full 72 hours in advance, he would charge me the full amount and would not let me reschedule. The best he could do was a "discount" on a future cooking class. As far as I'm concerned, Alfredo's Paradiso has enough of my money already and the lack of empathy for my tragic family situation has made it clear to me that I'm not interested in supporting such a callous business owner. There are plenty of other cooking class businesses in the Orlando area that I would recommend ahead of Alfredo's Paradiso.

    We heard about this unassuming place from a work friend who mentioned their fresh breads.. Easy to miss from Courteney, you have to go inside the shopping center next to the DMV in Merritt Isalnd. We are in the area recently so gave it a try. Very friendly staff made you feel welcomed. We started off with a very tasty Barratta cheese appetizer that was topped with crushed pistachio nuts and came with nicely seasoned artichokes. My wife had the fish special which consisted of a lightly breaded fresh snapper over rice and perfectly cooked string beans (crisp and sweat). I had the lamb Osobucco served over very smooth mashed potatoes. The gravey was rich and bit strong at first to my pallet. But still very tasty. I took home a good portion as it was filling and it tasted even better the next day. The dinner rolls (garlic knots without the garlic?) were the best we have experience so far in this area. Very tasty and added to the nice experience. I would definettly come back and look forward some other items on the extensive menu. This is a dinner only restaurante so plan on 4:30 or later to try it.

    We had a wonderful experience. Greeted by Chef Alfredo, well taken care of by Dylan. The food was authentic and delicious. We had the Chicken Parm, Lasagna and a cheese pizza. The ambiance was really nice as well. We have found our new favorite Italian spot.

    I've lived in the USA for 3 years and this was the best food I've ever had in this country. I'm delighted with every flavor. Alfredo, besides being a great chef, was a great host. I will always come back to try every food on the menu 😻

    Amazing Italian Experience, go see Linda & Alfredo! The food, atmosphere, wine, & dining experience is one you will enjoy - (if you make a reservation ahead of time it is easierto get in for evenings) Worth the visit! I go out of my way to see them everytime I am on the E coast near them (75mi). I love the 5 course true Italian meals.. this is the place to go.. TY for 'many' years & many more to come... much love Shannon

    Alfredo’s is the best Italian restaurant on the Island and beach side. My wife and dad and I went there for his belated Father’s Day gift and we had such an incredible experience. The food was DELICIOUS and the service was phenomenal. The Chef and owner Alfredo came to check on us and make sure we were pleased which was unique these days. I highly recommend you visit Alfredo’s if you’re looking for an authentic Italian meal!

    Great birthday dinner! I chose Alfredo's Paradiso for my birthday dinner and am so glad that I did! Great food comes from knowledge and prime ingredients and the Chef here has both at his disposal. Very friendly and great atmosphere. Merritt Island is very lucky to have Alfredo's Paradiso!

    Any time they have short ribs on the menu, get it! These were the short rib ravioli and they were simply divine. Perfect butter sauce and mushrooms, I was very satisfied. The spicy shrimp dish is delicious as well, depending on the night the spicy level can sometimes be crazy hot, but always so good as well! We have come here at least four times and it's always amazing. I recommend calling ahead for reservations, they're always busy and so worth it!

    Incredible dining experience! The food was delicious, and Alfredo deboned my sea bass table side. He is so passionate about his restaurant and that his customers have only the best. Smiley gave us outstanding service. We looked forward to coming back.

    I am in love with this place. As we waited to be seated (which was seconds), this guy, with fantastic, longer, white hair and black glasses pulled 6 fresh, hot, steamy, Italian sourdough loaves from the cast iron doored pizza oven and slid them onto a butcher block counter just to replace them with freshly risen dough loaves to bake. There was an incredibly beautiful Italian woman in her mid 50's speaking Italian to the man with the sourdough and I was lost in a day dream. She said something amazing in Italian, as the man behind the cash register cashed her out and the Italian with the sourdough replied "Chao". We sat down at the table and food and service was amazing. We watch this Korean War Vet get so excited to see the plate of at least 30 muscles tucked into a bed of creamy pasta, my husband's mouth dropped. It was a glorious sight.. I loved it when The Italian with the sourdough came to the table at the perfect time to ask about the food. We will definitely be back again...

    We were there Sunday evening around 6 pm. We did not make reservations, shame on us, and they managed to take care of us immediately. There were three in our party. As we walked in the aroma of great food stimulated our nostrils and we knew we were in for a good evening. The dining area was pretty full and the patrons were having a good time and conversations. Our server was on us in a New York Minute and she had taken care of us before. Sorry for not remembering her name, she quickly had our order taken and turned in. Garlic knots arrived quickly and we got busy with our wonderful evening and our Niece from out of state was Impressed with everything. Being a long time Californian, wanted to make sure she was impressed and she was. She ordered Chicken Parm and alfredo sauce and very pleased with the portion and wonderful flavor of her dish and she brought some of it home. My spouse and I ordered the Lasagna. The serving was very well portioned and the flavor was awesome, the garlic knots were refilled a couple of times. Service was timely, food delicious, and facilities were clean and well taken care of. Staff are well trained and dressed, to include the bussers. The three of us enjoyed our meal, and everything about this place. Planning our Christmas Eve dinner there for 10-12, Be sure to reserve. This is our third visit here and will continue to patronized them. One last thing, on the way out, Everyone to include the cheif...said good night. If I were running this place, would ad a ships bell to the exit area so happy customers could ring the bell and all staff would know of a happy experience. Larry
