Reviews for Al Forno Restaurant in Providence, RI
Very busy on weekends make sure to make a reservation early in the week. We sat at the bar because there weren't any tables. The... bartenders were great and the food was amazing. Pizza was my favorite. Read more
The outdoor seating is really cute. Vines from the ceiling etc. Probably a good place to make reservations for, we didn’t need... them but did have to wait a little bit for a seat. I loved the bruschetta and it was huge but was not a fan of the lamb chopsmyself, my friend liked it instead so we traded meals. Read more
Absolutely fantastic. We loved their grilled shrimp salad and their dirty steak (which is an off menu item recommended by the... waiter). The peach cobbler was delicious and so was the grand cookie finale. Honestly, would love to try their other dishes too.The price was very reasonable. Highly recommend it, though I do suggest getting a reservation and planning ahead as it is a verybusy venue. Read more
Al Forno is amazing, but they don’t take reservations except for large parties, so it’s really hard to get a table. The best... strategy I’ve heard of is to get there right when they open and sit at one of there 3 bars. Downstairs there are 2 bars, 1inside and 1 kind of outside. Upstairs there’s 1 bar with about 8-10 seats. Haven’t ever ordered anything that’s beensubpar (been about 4-5 times). Favorites: baked pasta, gnocchi (the ragu one), and grilled pizza. Read more
Omg I think this was the best meal I ate while in rhode island. Heads up they make you order dessert with your meal so save... room. Ambience is great for a date night. Read more
Food has been consistently great for at least over 25 years. Must tries are the pizza and the “pasta in the pink.” They’ve... also got great desserts that must be ordered when ordering the main meal since they are made to order. Read more
I've only been here twice in my lifetime. Each time I realize what incredible food really is. Endive salad is one of the top 3... best plates I've ever eaten in my lifetime. Sounds strange but true. Excellent service as to be expected and the ambiance issoothing. This place is perfection! Read more
This restaurant is a destination. The food was delicious and creative, while offering familiar Italian favorites. The ambiance... and service was impeccable! Our server Donny was one of the very best. Donny was knowledgeable, fun, and moved through theevening with ease of expertise. The breadbasket to start set our expectations high with the most delicious chewy sourdough. Myboyfriend ordered an octopus salad that was very fresh. For dinner I ordered the classic fedelini with meatballs. Very good butI might recommend the bolognese instead. We also had the spicy clam roast come to the table, perfect cold weather meal. Donnyexplained the desserts in a way we had to order the quince tart & kumquat meringue tart. Perfect end to the meal. Thank you toDonny for a delightful evening, you were wonderful!! Read more
