Al Forno was one of our splurge meals while in Providence.

It's an Italian restaurant known for its pizza.

In fact, they invented the grilled pizza.

So, we waited outside for the restaurant to open (and there was already a line!).

We were seated, and there was a packed house already.

Looking over the menu, I knew I needed to try the originator of the grilled pizza.

But first, housemade bread.

They have a margarita, a pumpkin, a calamari, but Josh and I decided on the "Mushroom Duxelles - fresh herbs, two cheeses, extra virgin olive oil and sliced mushrooms."

We split this heart-shaped pizza and were both quit impressed.

It was light, super thin crust and very flavorful.

Have you been?
