We started with the prosciutto and melon, and it was melt-in-your-mouth perfection. The bruschetta was some of the best I've ever had -- a little drizzle of balsamic vinegar took it over the top. For our main, we shared a pizza topped with mushrooms, pepperoni, prosciutto, and cheese, and it did not disappoint. Every bite was incredible. Our waiter really made the experience special, recommending a Pinot Grigio that paired perfectly with everything we ordered. Attentive without being intrusive, and clearly knew the menu inside and out. I left Al Fora with a huge smile on my face and a fully satisfied appetite. If you're in Venice, this spot is a must-visit!

Good start. My wife and I were not very hungry but wanted a little something. We ordered a glass of wine and champagne, a Caesar salad and a margarita pizza. The waiter took our order and looked at the person who sat us with dissatisfaction for sitting us next to the water. My wine pour was equal to a half pour of a typical glass. The food arrived. The pizza was sliced in half only. No slices. The Caesar was not a Caesar at all. No romaine lettuce or anchovies rather a green garden salad covered with sliced cheese. The waiter the set a 90% empty bottle of Caesar dressing on the table. Not only was it not a Caesar, it was not tossed in the kitchen. We ate the food leaving half on our plates. When we asked for the check he said, too much food? I said no, not interested in it. He repeated the same question and my response was the same. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone.
