We have enjoyed coming here for a long time. It's a great family restaurant. It's a little on the pricey side, however I understand the cost of food has gone way up and they have increased prices with inflation.

This place is awesome! Their Sicilian pizza is the best I've ever had and my favorite thing they offer. Their lasagna is also excellent. It's a true authentic family run place that consistently delivers a great experience.

Ordered a pizza and dessert to go. Pizza was delicious!! Dessert was very disappointing. For the price, you'd expect a full piece of dessert. Husband finished his cheesecake in 4 bites. Wouldn't buy that again, but will be back for pizza!

Cheap food. The worst chicken Parmesan EVER. The side pasta was served bland in a very small old looking cheap plastic bowl. The salad was okay though..The house dressing is very good.

First time eating at Alforno"s, which I told the waitress. I generally never go out for italian because I make my own sauce and make spaghetti, rigatoni, lasagna and stuffed shells. I wanted to try Alforno's for a non marina sauce dish. I had the Chicken Alforno. I ennjoyed the side salad very much. The dinner portion was huge. Sauce flavor was excellent as were the mushrooms. The artichokes were the outer layer and were hard. The chicken tasted overcooked and not the best quality/ freshly cooked. It also came with a small side of spaghetti, which was standard tasting. The others in my party had calzones. They liked them and the side of marinera for dipping was tasty. We went on a Saturday night and really enjoyed the piano player.

Expensive plate of vegetarian Penne - $20+They did accommodate my no oil pasta, no sugar, request. So, an option for vegans.Our waitress was in a different planet on Valentine's night. We ordered for two and wanted our food to arrive at the same time, which it did not.The menu was taken away from us straight away and no desserts were suggested nor was a dessert menu offered. Valentine's night - hello??My wife's food was good according to her.Overall, we can't recommend this place:1. Too pricey2. Subpar wait staff3. Mediocre atmosphere

My favorite Italian dish is linguini in white clam sauce and Alforno's delivered. The clams were tender; the sauce flavorful; and the pasta perfectly cooked. There was no other customers here when I arrived for take out which was concerning but not a true gauge of the quality of food here.My mother got the shrimp and scallops Fradiavolo. She will only eat scallops if they are perfectly well cooked, not translucent like most restaurants make them. The chef cooked them PERFECTLY! My mother was so pleased. She enjoyed the sauce even though it was a bit spicier than what she is used to eating.On top of all of this the portions were huge. They included nice fresh salads and some tasty rolls. The house dressing is great.

The worst Italian restaurant I have never been!! I would never recommend this place. The food was terrible (all the flavors were the same) the environment dated, hard bread, etc. The price is long to be worthy.

We had 2 appitizers- crab cakes & shrimp scampi both outstanding! I had the eggplant rollitini, 2 guests had veal Jerusalem And one had spaghetti & meatballs.Everyone loved the generous portions & sauces. Pasta was Terrific too Great entertainment by a piano player who was so good ! Highly recommend this restaurant- you will not be disappointed!Vegetarian options: EggplantSaladsPizza
