Menu Highlights

At Alfredo’s On Folly, the menu centers around scratch-made pasta shapes—from fettuccine and pappardelle to gnocchi and cavatelli—paired with a selection of rich sauces such as beef ragù, classic tomato-basil, creamy alfredo, carbonara, and a bright almond-arugula pesto. Diners can enjoy the pasta simply or elevate it with additions like house meatballs, chicken, sausage, or shrimp. The panini and flat-bread-style pressed pizzas bring in a fun, casual dimension with choices such as the Italian Club, Spicy Calabrian and Chicken Parm, served with a bag of Lowcountry kettle-chips or salad. For lighter fare, Alfredo’s offers soup and salad options including Tomato & Bread and Sausage & Lentil soups, alongside Italian, Caprese and Caesar salads. No Italian-style meal is complete without standout garlic bread—a favorite among reviewers—followed by a dessert like a classic cannoli or local Cirsea Ice Cream served in inventive flavors like bourbon caramel or vanilla black pepper. Beverage options include a robust wine list (Pinot Grigio, Chianti Classico, Rosso Dolce, Lambrusco), Italian-style beer (Peroni) plus local craft brews, and gluten-free hard Italian sodas (Bravazzi) available in blood orange, limonata or grapefruit.
