Al Forno Bentleigh - Melbourne

Had a lovely family dinner tonight at this place. The peri peri Chicken Pizza was excellent and vegetable gnocchi was quiet good. Tiramisu was excellent and we totally loved it.

Have ordered from here with Menulog over 5 times now. Have ordered various pizzas, parmas and burgers. Everyone has been very please with the quality and portions of the food. Love it, definitely a great local go to. A bonus that they're open and deliver till 2am on Friday and Saturday nights !!!

Humble local pizza and pasta joint Come for the homely and friendly vibes An unassuming joint delivering food with love Loved the creamy carbonara and silky fettuccine

I've been to Al Forno three times now, and each time has been excellent. It's just a small local eatery, but it's well worth a visit. The food is always delicious and the service is great too. They're really accomodating when making adjustments to pasta dishes, and always get your requests right. Their gnocchi is superb and so soft, and their sauces are fantastic. I've had the gnocchi with chicken and avocado in a cream sauce, and I've had a gnocchi with chicken and avocado in a yummy curry sauce (sooooo good and way better than it might sound to some). Two out of the three visits, I've had and shared the chocolate mousse. The first time was delicious and the second time it tasted more like a light chocolate pudding/whip. The only minor negative I can say about Al Forno (and this is purely nitpicking), they don't play music so there's no real ambiance to the restaurant. Having said that, the decor is nice enough and the staff are friendly, so couple all of that with beautiful food, and this is now my favourite local Italian eatery. I highly recommend it. It's great for dinners with the family and it's really well priced.

I am not bothered by the lack of complimentary bread, unlike some other reviewers. If you really want bread, just order the garlic bread and move on. I have visited Al Forno multiple times and have always been impressed with their ability to consistently serve high-quality food at a fair price. Keep up the good work, guys!
