Whats It All About...Alfie?
Alfie’s-Ristorante Italiano was a lifelong dream and long term goal by Alfie Afrim and Head Chef Franco to meet the ever growing demand for Exquisite Fine Italian Cuisine in the Somerset County, Warren, NJ region…….while offering a BYOB convenience.
In 2006, both were able to make that dream a reality and opened Alfie’s Ristorante-Italiano in the heart of Warren Township, NJ.
