"I went to Almalfiâs for the first time in many years as a Bloomingdale resident. I was pleasantly surprised, I was truly looking for a romantic date night (which I got, just not the way I expected) at a local restaurant: I was expecting something dimly lit, over the top aesthetics etc. â your stereotypical fancy night out. What I got was a perfect neighborhood restaurant that was absolutely better than than stereotypical. Our waitress was polite, helpful and timely, the food was amazingâ no really, it was phenomenal. Nothing was served on fancy plates, the silverware was boring, the ambiance was more Greek restaurant than upscale Italian, and the wine list was tiny... and yet I was impressed by what matters more, the staff, the food, and my overall experience. Iâll be back again."
