The staff was more than accommodating and sat us and we had an amazing time here. We started by splitting a few pizzas to try out some of the different varieties. The Masinello pizza was my favorite! Everything here was so fresh. We also enjoyed their Pinot noir here, it was so smooth and had us coming back for refills. This place was so mad and that her group actually ended up attending here twice during the same week. We switched it up each time so by the end of our trip we got to try a lot of the dishes here. Absolutely get the house specialty ragu. I think if I got this the first night I probably would have gone back and gotten it again. It was the perfect portion, the sauce was delicious, not too sweet just right, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. To top it all off the staff is so friendly. It was great to come to this area. I highly recommend.

The wine list has some excellent options, from the reasonable glass to the rarer bottle. Mostly Italian vintages, a good thing.

Both kids cleared their plates and felt comfortable through our leisurely meal.

We only managed 3 (missed out the pasta course). Clam chowder and sautéed tiger prawns to start followed by sea bream and bbq chicken. Side order of chips. One shared portion of tiramisu (wonderful). We were very happy with our choices though the chicken dish was a little plain and lacking in flavour compared with the rest. The service was excellent and we were able to sit in the covered part of the garden out of the rain. Hopefully next time the sun will be shining and we can have a table properly outside in the pretty garden. We will definitely be back.

They say the third time's the charm right? It really it though!…read more This is the third restaurant I have tried around my work in Twickenham after a horrific experience at Pho Twickenham and a mediocre experience at Pincho's. A colleague and I went for lunch here and it was just the perfect lovely day - the sun was out, it wasn't too hot and we got window seats. I had the Penne Romana (regular size for £7.50) and it was a generous, delicious portion. The pasta was al dente (just the way I like it), the sauce was OH so rich with a touch of cream (as promised), the chicken bits (and sausage bits?) were juicy and the cheese toppers tasted smoky and fragrant - it truly completed the dish. So amazing. My colleague had two lunch starters - the Portobello Mushroom w/ spinach and gorgonzola (£3) and the fried calzone with mozzarella, spinach and ricotta (£3.25). Both were good, however the calzone was a bit bland. The breading for the calzone reminded me of a Chinese doughnut - slightly chewy and smelled buttery (yum). Service was quick and very pleasant. This place was about a block from my work so that's quite dangerous. I'm gonna tell you right now, this restaurant will get me fat.

This is a lovely little Italian place on a gorgeous cobbled street in Twickenham…read more The decor is beautiful, very rustic, old school Italian. We were tucked away in a nice little corner and presented an extensive wine menu, specials and food menu. The staff were nice, giving us enough attention and space appropriately. We started our evening with an aperol spritz each - when in Rome and all that! We struggled to pick our staters as there are so many good choices. There's also a great sharing anti pasti platter too. We selected goats cheese tartlet and stuffed sardines. Unfortunately we were a little disappointed with the starters. The goats cheese tartlet turned out to be a breaded deep fried goats cheese slice on top of layer of soggy uncooked puff pasty with cooked shallot underneath. The special happened to be deep fried goats cheese, so we felt like out option was actually just that rather than an actual tartlet. The sardines were okay, but not what I'd imagined. My main was delicious. A large portion of lamb shoulder, beautiful cooked, it fell off the bone. Accompanied by a lovely Aubergine dish with olives and pine nuts. The red wine jus was overly strong though. My dates main wasn't quite as good. He had roasted pork belly and gratin potatoes. It was was a large portion of meat but a bit dry and a lot of fat. Also we both felt that the waiter should have asked if he wanted any vegetables on the side. It seemed strange for a meat and potato dish not to automatically come with any vegetables. We selected a lovely bottle of Sicilian red wine, which was delicious and decently priced too. We weren't offered any water though, which was a shame as it's nice when it's assumed you'd like some water with your meal as well as wine. £80 in total for two cocktails, starters, mains and a lovely bottle of wine. All in all a nice meal and evening, but simple things could make the experience a lot better.

Some tried the soups, and they liked them. I'm usually going in a different direction: bruschetta if possible. A colleague joined me, and the mozzarella didn't disappoint. For whatever reason, I got the burrata to myself. It was fabulous so everybody missed out. Way better than that soup in my opinion, with all due respect to soup. The pizza was tasty (tried another's) but I was excited to see duck on the menu. It was perfectly baked with a lovely cranberry red wine reduction. If you're looking for a meal for 2 or 3 go with the beef stroganoff, because I was surprised it could fit on the table. Nobody could finish it, so take heart. The Malbec was nice, and apparently so were the other selections. I didn't get dessert because of peer pressure (no actually that usually goes the other way as I persuade the non-eaters to partake). I'd hope to return if my journeys help a return to Teddington.

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.
