Alforno Bakery & Cafe

Had early dinner here on a Sunday evening with my boyfriend. Our experience was pretty good. We got the carbonara, ravioli, and spicy calabrian pizza. Everything was super delicious and flavorful! Our favorite was the ravioli hands down! Service was good. Staff were friendly. And the environment was neat and clean. Overall, a great place for Italian eats in downtown!

I frequent Alforno lots and I love everything about it! The central location, the amazing food and drink menu and the yummy pastries. I love how they have later hours than most coffee shops downtown. I love coming here for work sessions, client meetings, brunch hangs or dates it’s just super versatile and the staff is super friendly.

End of Summer 2024nnIt was my first time at Alforno. We went to Alforno bakery and café for a lunch get together for work. Location was on the edge of downtown and not too overly busy. Normally I hear it’s always busy but when our work team went, it was ok. There was lots of seating and it’s very spacious. An abundance of natural light coming from all directions which was great. Open concept cafe type atmosphere.nnThe food was sooo good! I want to go back to try more! Very tasty dishes and perfect portion sizes. You will not overeat at this location. I found it to be just right.nnI would recommend Alforno Bakery and Café to everyone.

The ambience is really good, nice chic restaurant. We ordered mafia breakfast, mango chocolate dome, raspberry coconut cookie, Black Forest pastry, americano, and jasmine tea.nBlack Forest pastry was not that good in my opinion. Mango chocolate dome was just amazing, and so was almost everything else.nMy husband is a coffee enthusiast and his coffee was a little burnt the second day that we went there. 4/5

My only complaint is about the service as everything was so slow. Otherwise the best brunch I’ve ever had in Calgary. We had mafia breakfast and classic breakfast with freshly brewed coffee.
