After weeks of preparation, our friends and family came together last night to celebrate our engagement. Utterly disgusted at the service of this restaurant. The area upstairs was completely overbooked which meant that some of my guests had to wait for seats, complete refusal to serve drinks at times and no communication between the staff. Felt genuinely sorry for the young staff members who were spoken to disgracefully by management throughout the night. Luckily I had created a list of food orders, which kept some organisation, but paying the bill was complete chaos for every guest at the end, some standing for minutes trying to pay. I am so disappointed that I had chosen Al Fornos to have...

Our friends and family gathered last night to celebrate our engagement after weeks of planning. We were extremely disappointed by the service at this restaurant. The upstairs area was overbooked, leading to some guests waiting for seats and difficulty in receiving drinks. There was a lack of communication among the staff and they were treated poorly by management. Fortunately, I had provided a list of food orders to maintain some organization. However, paying the bill was chaotic for all guests, with some waiting for minutes to settle their bill. I regret choosing Al Fornos for our celebration and will be escalating my complaint to prevent others from experiencing the same issues.
I celebrated my daughter's birthday at Alfornos on Saturday night. We invited children to the party, and my sister and I sat at a separate table to give them some independence. The staff were attentive and patient with the kids, ensuring that they were well taken care of. The evening went smoothly without any rush. The staff went above and beyond to accommodate us, and the food was fantastic. I want to extend a big thank you to all the staff at Alfornos. - Sue
The restaurant had a gorgeous atmosphere with great energy. The staff was very attentive and the food was delicious. I would definitely come back for more. The only downside was that the rice was a bit chewy and the stroganoff tasted different than our previous visit, but overall it was still delicious and appetizing. Book a table now
Whenever I visit Al-Forno, whether it's daytime or later in the evening, I am always greeted with a warm and welcoming reception. The food is beautifully presented and delicious. Kudos to the owners and staff for creating a fantastic place to enjoy delicious food and socialize in a very friendly atmosphere.
Every time I go to AlForno wether it is during the day or later in the evening. The reception is always welcoming and warm. The food is so well presented and very tasty . Well done to the owners and staff for a great place to socialize and eat amazing food in a very welcoming environment
This restaurant is a lovely place to dine. The food was delicious and served piping hot, with generous portions and beautiful presentation. The staff were very friendly and accommodating, and they also offer gluten-free options. I would definitely return to this restaurant.
We were a group of 22 people. Everyone looked great and the food was delicious. The service was prompt, although one dish was missed by the kitchen. The staff was very apologetic and quickly corrected the mistake before we finished our meal. We will definitely be back! Book a table now
