Alforno Focacceria Široká — Restaurant in Prague

Absolutely incredible, authentic and beautiful restaurant. The owners and all staff should be extremely proud of themselves :D Before you knock this review off, be assured that I’m very hard to please with pasta and all things Italian cuisine- But this was truly exceptional.I was very impressed with the quality and freshness of everything, the taste especially. We ordered two delicious portions of shrimp for our starters, as well as a garlic rosemary focaccia, all made and baked in house. The starters were delicious, perfectly seasoned and hot upon arrival. For each customer, shortly after ordering we received a small yet hearty serving of delicious home baked bread with some incredibly flavorful olive oil- it was almost neon green!! We ordered a tuna steak, an altered pizza , and a daily chefs special that was homemade linguine with seafood. everything was incredibly delicious and was perfectly cooked. I highly recommend this restaurant no matter the occasion. I would image this would be a perfect restaurant for a sweet date, or a family reunion. The restaurant is packed with locals, which is obviously a great sign. The chefs are Italian, which shows:) the only thing I’d say is, if you want a evening/ night dinner with them, I highly suggest you call in / walk in to reserve a table in advance, since it’s 100% full almost all dinner service, due to how popular it is with the locals. I would like to praise our sweet, polite and friendly server, Vilian ( I hope Ive spelled that right) for being so warm and welcoming. Very nice atmosphere overall, cozy and warm inside, and extremely clean- both the restaurant and the restrooms. Servers speak/understand Slovak too, which was...

The location of the restaurant is very convenient. It’s right at the city centre. Starting with the service - it was great. Our food arrived quickly and was delivered to the table with a smile. The staff were able to make modifications (add / delete ingredients) to the dish on request. Food - I liked the focaccia bread. They have a variety of options with different toppings and flavours. They have a 1 meter Pizza, which is a major attraction - but is useful only if everyone at the table have the same preference with food, otherwise you will just end up eating only a portion of our. Their pastas were quite ordinary. They have a rather unique way of bringing up the dessert menu. The staff comes with a stamp and stamps the desert menu on the (paper)food mat. Their desserts are ok. Their coffee is good...

Amazing Staff & Great Food – Highly Recommend! I can’t thank the staff enough – they were absolutely fantastic. While they were opening up for the day, I happened to collapse and have a seizure outside. It had nothing to do with their food – just unfortunate timing – but they immediately rushed to help me and went out of their way to make sure I was okay. Calling ambulance too. Their kindness and quick response meant the world to me during such a frightening moment. I was a solo traveller.

Once I was feeling better the next day, I went back and enjoyed a delicious meal and drink from the menu. The food was excellent, and the atmosphere just as warm and welcoming as the people. I highly recommend stopping by – not only for the great food, but for the truly caring and compassionate staff....
