Read a lot of great reviews about this place in Providence and decided to go there for a late lunch on Saturday. The place is cosy but a bit small. My friend and I shared a Margherita flat bread and five cheese pasta. Both were delicious and highly recommended. For dessert, we had the pear tart. It was good but not worth it for the price. The service was a bit slow. We were first served the flat bread then the pasta after around 20 minutes which is a bit weird. If we weren’t sharing these dishes, one person would have had to eat before the other. We were also asked to order the dessert while ordering the main dishes because the waiter said that it takes some time to prepare and that’s what we did but we still ended up waiting some time.

Genuinely the best food spot in Rhode Island and a top 3 Italian place in New England. Choose this over almost anywhere else if you can secure a reservation, although walk ins are very possible. The Black Sea Bass tonight is the best food I’ve had in a LONG time. Shoutout to Donny who provided us absolutely amazing service!

The service here is amazing. I can't even begin to tell you how pleasant it was to interact with this staff. I booked a table for 10 people, months before we came, but totally forgot to tell them my father was in a wheelchair. (Totally our fault). They booked a space for us upstairs. But they went above and beyond to find a solution and set something up downstairs to make it work. Lily the manager, Arora who walked us in, and waitress Lenore (hope I spelled their names right) were the definition of hospitable. In this day and age, it's truly refreshing to see people who care about the work that they do. Go visit them!

Al Forno was an amazing experience from start to finish. The food was freshly prepared and absolutely delicious. You can really taste the quality and care in every dish. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making it a great place to relax and enjoy a meal. Made reservations in advance so we didn’t have to wait. I loved every part of it and will definitely be back!
