Forli Restaurant & Bar is a popular family-owned restaurant that specializes in Italian cuisine. Alamo locals rave about the kitchen's quality, careful preparations (like the pasta, which is made in-house), and note that this place is equally appropriate for special occasions and for casual nights out.

Wine lovers might decide to stop by during happy hour for a drink and charcuterie platter at the long, L-shaped bar, while parents might consider bringing the whole family down for dinner during the week. Popular dishes include the deep-dish lasagna layered with besciamella and bolognese, as well as the classic pollo cacciatore topped with porcini mushrooms, fresh herbs, and a white wine sauce. You’ll also find a pizza menu that pleases both kids and adults alike, as well as a rotating selection of daily dessert specials (don't miss the delicately layered tiramisu).
