The menu is large and varied, full of tantalizing choices which made choosing difficult, but also helped to woo us into wanting to come back and try more of their delicious food. Both my meal and my friend's meal were rich and filling. They have a nice selection of wine. However, being poor university students we opted for the house wine. Despite being a house wine it was lovely, unlike some other places which serve you something slightly better than 2 buck chuck. The atmosphere was perfect. They had lovely old pictures hung tastefully on the walls and the music was mellow and made the meal a bit more pleasant. I would say without wine and desert it isn't too pricey for a one-off nice meal for a poor uni student(about 10 quid each), but if you want to go all out(and for me when I have Italian food I like to have it all) and have a meal, wine, and dessert it will be about 25 quid per person, but I'd say ever so worth the money. I can't wait to come back and try more of the lovely food!

I had the parma ham and rocket pizza. Gorgeously fresh dough with a crunchy crust. Although it must've been very salty as I experienced an unquenchable thirst afterwards. My friend's lasagne was scaldingly hot to start but duly wolfed down, so I'm assuming it tasted good. My gluten-free choc cake and ice cream had an unexpected amaretto flavour, and it was a tad dry. I still enjoyed it, and it was wonderfully gooey for the final few mouthfuls. Friendly, attentive staff coupled with exceptionally reasonable prices (especially with a Taste Card) gives Al Forno a solid four. Recommended.

What a delicious, off the beaten track, pizza find!…read more A very modest client of mine recently chose this as our lunch venue. Even though I was having one of those days where I wasn't sure if my brain could handle the small talk, my spirits instantly lifted when we got here. It's a family-run joint with stone-baked pizzas and your traditional Italian fare, all served with a personal touch. My curiousity was first piqued when I was told that all pizzas could be served gluten-free - which I thought was quite unusal for a small restaurant on the fringes of Kingston. So of course I had to try that option, even though I am partial to my wheat, and the result was delicious. The base was thin, crisp and light - if I wasn't told it was gluten-free, I certainly wouldn't have noticed or complained, which was helped by the plentiful and fresh toppings. Beyond the food - the friendly environment of this restaurant is what will make me return and why I'd recommend it to anyone. The decor is nothing special at a first glance, however there are some tables with glass covers and unusual - I want to say 'art' but I'm having a hard time categorising it...Basically there was a colourful arrangement of kids toys under the glass on our table, and a selection of kids stationery under a table nearby. It's slightly bizarre, and I'd be lying if I said I'd pay any money for one of my own, but it's certainly unique and our server was delighted to proudly chat away about them, which was all part of the warm environment. Now, to add to the tasty food, friendly service, and special furnishings - they do a broad selection of dishes for £5 on weekdays. This is an absolute steal and leaves you with no excuse to try it out when you're in the area. My one regret is that I had no change for a tip - I'm now contemplating popping in and giving them one when I'm next in Kingston, even if I'm not dining. That's quite an impression to leave on me....
