What a gem of a find! The turkey & rice soup was better than most soups I've had at fancy restaurants! Great portion size when you stay to eat. The white cheddar scone was delicious and had great texture. Their dessert selections were amazing! Can't wait to come back and try other dishes

Today we finally had the opportunity to experience "tea time" at Alforno...We were a bit skeptical and wasn't sure what to expect. I have to say it was an amazing experience....The most amazing part of this experience was the exceptional customer service from our hostess Veronica....the food...the pastries...the sandwiches... just extraordinary...I will be suggesting tea time to all people close to me...Thank you Veronica.
Parking: It was a Sunday, usually a busy time in that area...however I practically parked directly in front.

Al Forno is my go-to spot for coffee, brunch, and lunch in Calgary. The new prawn toast is to die for!

I went to the cafe near 8:56 and they were not closed yet there were still 4 min left in closing… i just asked for one pastry to grab and go and employee denied to give that as she told me we closed everything already so i just wanna say you guys should update your closing to 8:56 instead of 9pm.

The desserts and coffee were excellent. I would like to visit again.
We get takeout here & I’m so happy they’re open till 9 pm. The carbonara pasta is good, they could make the serving a little little bigger. I know the higher prices are because downtown has higher rent and taxes. The pepperoni pizza is really really good. My friend won’t eat it anywhere else now. I took off one star for the soups they are a little tasteless and too thin. I haven’t tried their baked goods yet, but they look amazing. I will update when I do. You need to go to this place there aren’t many places left where the food actually tastes good no matter what the prices are! And they are consistent!(note: I am a picky eater, lol)
Vegetarian options: They have pasta with vegan options and pizza and eggs and good salads. There is something here for everyone.

Me and my dad went here for father’s daughter day and this place did not disappoint! We were sat down almost immediately and handed the menu! Service was great and fast! I wish they had more sweet options tho. We ordered and I’m going to be honest they took a while . THE GRILLED CHEESE CROSSOINT DID NOT DISAPPOINT!!!!!! I got the blue& berry French toast but I wish they gave u maple syrup on the side because they only had it on the top friench toast! The Turkish eggs were wayyyy to garlicky it was like I was eating garlic sauce tho! Overall this place is great and o recommended!

A friendly welcome from the people that take your order at the counter. The place is modern and clean, and food is delivered to your table promptly. The beet, arugula salad is very good! Margarita pizza is also very tasty.
