What Tara M likes about Al Forno Caffe:
I've been here twice now. Once for a girls night and we did wine Wednesdays. And the second time on Valentines day with my boyfriend. We didn't even have a reservation on Valentine's Day and they fit us in anyway. It was so sweet and such a cute setting and ambiance.

What S W doesn't like about Al Forno Caffe:
The food was delicious, although the portions were a bit on the smaller side. The server was friendly, but the service was quite slow.
