Don't buy the oysters!
I had dinner with 3 other people on 9th June 05. Very crowded but service OK. Oysters were $3.50 each. I ordered one dozen but received only small tasteless oysters that were not worth 0.50 cents each. I pointed that out to the attendant who later told me that the manager said " that to have good oysters they would have to charge $7.50 each. Ridiculous indeed! If you can not provide an appetizer at a decent price than do not include it in your menu just for the sake of being "chic". The best Oysters in France are called "Gillardeau" and the cost is far less than Al Fornos and the quality immensely better. [12 Jun 2005 18:31:24]

Poor Service
My husband and I have dined at Al Forno for years. We have always enjoyed the food. We, in fact, purchased their cookbook. This past Saturaday when we arrived for my husband's birthday dinner, the wait was 2 hours plus. People who arrived after us were seated. The host was rude and condescending. He overlooked our wait time and seated people he either knew, or who must have had status. We are disappointed, and will never recommend this resaurant again. I fully intend to write to the owners. The whole experince rang of my hometown Manhattan, NY. Is this the attitude for which they are going? Pathetic!! [12 Mar 2006 11:14:12]

Love it
We just got back from our first time at Al Forno. We will definitely go back. The staff is very proper and polite. The host pulled out my chair for me and help me put my coat on. Service was speedy and efficient. Water glasses never get low, crumbs swept off table. The food was very good. Must have the pizza margherita and any of the desserts. The seats and small tables could be more comftorable but not a big deal. Get there when they open to avoid a wait. We did and it worked very well. By the time they got busy we were leaving [09 Feb 2007 19:17:07]
