It's a good thing that Al Forno's has friendly, efficient service at lunchtime, because a crowd always gathers for the midday meal. Differentiating itself from many of Salt Lake's Italian eateries, Al Forno's has been specializing in affordable – yet delicious – Italian dishes. The menu includes 18 varieties of pasta, salads, and pizzas. Chicken and veal entrees are luscious and flavorful, and if you're in need of a carb fix, treat yourself to the signature lasagna or to fettuccine with a bolognese or puttanesca sauce. Though the exterior may seem unattractive, don't be deterred; Al Forno's is one of Salt Lake City's best value restaurants.
