Al Forno Cafe & Bakery - Calgary

I really like the atmosphere here. It was so good. Service was good.  Talked about the food, the meatballs at first seemed pricey but it was actually a huge portion. Also tried their Bucatini Carbonara pasta, prosciutto pizza. Would highly recommend.

All the food looks solid at this place.  Had just the roasted mushroom pasta and it was quite good.  The place is clean and suitable for business lunch in a causal setting.  Food ordered at the counter and then they bring your food.  Regular restaurant price, not cheap but not outrageous either for downtown centre.

I met a friend for breakfast at Alforno at 9:30am on Easter Sunday. I think 9-9:30 is the perfect time to stop in, because by 10:00 the place was busy and loud. The cafe is open and relaxing, with a fireplace in the centre of the room. We were originally seated under a heating vent that was pushing out cold air, so we asked to move closer to the fireplace which was no problem at all.

Love the atmosphere!! It’s so nice and bright in here. Service was a little awkward at first as I wasn’t familiar with the option of table service or self service. The meatballs at first seemed pricey but it was actually a huge portion! The bucatini carbonara was really good too. The best part the cheesecake! I think the best I’ve ever had... will have dreams about that for sure haha. The chai latte was a bit bland but I would come back for the food alone!

Nice brunch options! Evening pastas are delicious.<br/ <br/ Good bread to take home.<br/ <br/ Very busy cafe. Limited seating for people who are just having coffee.
