Had a lovely meal here last night. We were about to go to zizzi but spotted this place and thought we would give it a try. So glad we did!
Amazing authentic home cooked Italian food served by Italian staff with real pride.
Reasonable prices and very clean.
Would 100% go back.
The pics were taken after a few mouthfuls as it looked too nice and we were so hungry!

Lovely evening with family at Al Forno last night. Great to see a local business thriving on a Saturday night. Gamberoni prawns were divine and we all had a variety of mains, sea food pasta, salmon, pizza and lasagne. Clean plates all around. House white wine was lovely and highly recommended. Will be back to sample more of the menu another time. Thank you!

Very nice atmosphere and vibe. We had dinner with no reservation and there was no issue to accommodate us. We had octopus, mussels, pizza margherita and pizza with friarielli sausage and nduja that I highly recommend as well the fabulous gelato. You can feel the Italian hospitality coming from the whole staff. On this topic I would like to thank our waiter Pietro that went extra miles for us. See you soon guys!

I have been frequenting Al Forno for years now. Fabio and his team have never let me or any of my guests down. We usually come here to celebrate birthdays and anniversaries, but sometimes during the day for business lunches, too. The food is always brilliant and the service is outstanding. Highly recommended authentic Italian eatery with amazing ice cream options during summer.

What a great restaurant! We went there after a day at the Wimbledon tournament. The food is delicious! Everything we had, pizza, seafood, veal, rib eye, deserts, all were prepared beautifully and the taste was amazing.
Also the staff had such a nice and positive energy.
Unfortunately I don't live near the place, otherwise I would have found my go to place for delicious real Italian food.
Next time I am in the London area, you know where to find me :-)

Fantastic Italian restaurant in Kingston. Much better food than any of the 'Italian' chains in and around Kingston, and not far off on price either.
The atmosphere is going to be abit of a love it or hate it for alot of people. It's very warm and friendly, but also very loud and involved. If it's somebody's birthday — they will come out shouting Happy Birthday with multiple guitars. If that's your kind of thing then you'll love this place. If you prefer a quite dinner and to be largely left alone, then maybe not. I didn't sit outside, but I assume that's going to be a bit quieter, even when you factor in the cars and street noise.
Food was fantastic throughout. The cheese bowl/crown with the risotto is a great idea because it adds an incredible cheese flavour to the risotto. The carbonara was superb too. Plenty of pancetta and good flavour.
The desserts were to die for. We had the Pistachio Ice cream and the Chocolate Souffle. Individually they were phenomenal, but they worked even better together. The pistachio ice cream is mainly vanilla ice cream, but with a light pistachio crust, and a gooey pistachio core. If you like pistachio, you'll love this. It's a must try.
Highly recommend!

Love this place.
They have amazing pizza and even better pasta ( frutti di mare - hats off!).
Good selection of wines and few beers in their offer. I would definitely recommend this place to all Italian food lovers.

Fantastic Italian restaurant located just outside the main area of shops and restaurants in Kingston. The food is absolutely delicious! The pasta, especially you can tell is freshly made and tastes absolutely incredible. There’s nice selection of drinks and Italian wines available and also a good dessert menu too. One nice thing I suggest doing if you’re eating out with a few people is to order a few Starters and Mains and share to try as many dishes as possible. I specifically recommend the Calamari and the Pesto Pasta… You can get a tasty meal all for a really competitive price. The staff is absolutely lovely and friendly and the restaurant itself has a really cosy atmosphere. Well worth a visit when in Kingston!
