Alforno Trattoria • Bar • Pizza offers a pleasant dining experience with outstanding food, service, and desserts. The restaurant is known for its consistently good Italian cuisine, with a variety of options including ensalada verte, calamari appetizer, and crispy pizzas. The entrees are large and filling, and the house-made desserts are a highlight.
Despite the line out the door, the food at Alforno is of high quality. The preparations are light and reminiscent of Northern Italy, rather than a typical Italian restaurant. Customers may have to wait 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the time, but the wait is worth it. The restaurant does not accept reservations or have call-ahead seating.
Diners have raved about the amazing calamari appetizer, large salads, and the Tagliatelle bolognese, which is highly recommended. The chicken francese is also a standout dish, with the chicken prepared perfectly and the mashed potatoes and spinach complementing it well. The service is outstanding, making Alforno a popular spot for both locals and visitors.
Recent reviews highlight that Alforno's pizza is the best ever eaten—far surpassing other well-known places. The entire menu is described as outstandingly delicious, with calamari often voted Best in State and Pasta Bolognese praised as the very best ever tasted. Customers appreciate the consistently excellent quality and professional staff. Whether dining in or taking out, every meal is a 5-star experience. Many customers say they will definitely return, as Alforno offers a favorite pizza and restaurant experience, with mouth-watering dishes and no regrets about spending money there.
