Very happy with service and food. Great atmosphere!
Hands down one of the best places to have pizza or pasta in Gordon's bay. I really love there Alfredo pasta 🤤. Super friendly staff and great service. Definitely worth a try if u are in the area!!
Dave and I were regular visitors to Al Forno when it was owned by an Italian. He understood that pizzas should be thin based and pasta dishes should be all about the pasta, and less about the sauce. It was taken over by someone who changed the ethos of the trattoria. When the regular pasta dishes were served with thin, watery sauces we stopped going. Al Forno has recently been sold to a group of young triplets and so we decided to give them a try.
Did some take away pizzas . .. Awesome! Lovely crusty base. One of only two places in Gordon's Bay that I can get good pizza. The other being Antonio's.
Excellent pizza and a nice view which is always a bonus. Can't help but feel like I'm on Holiday when visiting Al Forno's. PS. Spinach, onion and feta is a winner!!
Wow where to start...
The service is impeccable and the waiters are the friendliest. I think they all get sent to a bootcamp before they start working there.
There are no words to accurately describe the food, they have not been invented yet.
The salad portions are HUGE and the pizza is simply perfect.
If you could only eat at one place in Gordons bay, you will NOT go wrong with Al Forno.
Service is friendly, with a stunning view and pretty decent food. Only peroni on tap but is that so bad? Full bar available otherwise. Pizza is good with enough variety and they're pasta has praise.
Great restaurante!!! Best pizza in town and very good Prices. Great for sun downer. Amazing view and beach vibes. Ask for Brad and tell him JMSP he will give you a discount.
We were driving back from Hermanus and the girl in our gang asked for ice-cream. So we had no other go to pick some coffee next door at Al forno. We ordered for Americano, Cappuccino and tea. The service was excellent and the guy was friendly. My friend said cappuccino was awesome but I was not so sure in real as I didn't taste it. My Americano was good while tea was nice. I paid with Zapper and got some chocolates as complimentary. The service guy maybe was so happy with the tip offered for just 3 drinks he brought another 6 chocolates and offered it to us. Nice place. But need to try the other actual items as well because we were told that they are good with seafood.
Dec 28 lunch: On our way from CPT to Hermanus, we decided to take the beach road though longer. This is on the beach front but across the road. Beautiful views from the porch. Started with what else - beer!!! Along with beers, had bruschetta - nicely presented and good taste. Pasta Contadina with spinach, mushroom, olives with creamy tomato sauce tasted very good. The vegetarian option was only one - veg pizza with spinach, olive, mushroom was crisp, well made and tasted well. Good place to chill and relax.
Amazing pizza! Loved the Ossu Bucco. Really chilled atmosphere and overall, an awesome menu. I've unfortunately had the same sloowww 'waiter' serve my table, both times I've been here :( ... Service from other waiters ('waitresses') seems speedy though, so not influencing my rating. Outside area definitely needs more light for the tables .. Will definitely be back!
