Located in the residential Barnes and Putney area of southwest London, the Al Forno restaurant is a friendly, charming and exceptionally vibrant diner that is a firm favourite with locals and, should you be lucky enough to stumble upon it, passers by too. While not exactly out in the sticks, the restaurant is relatively removed from the city's main tourist hub, but certainly worth seeking out if fresh Italian cuisine is your thing.

Al Forno is unique in that it is a typical Italian restaurant that often has live music and dancing, where every diner is encouraged to participate in the fun. The levels of participation go much further for children, who are invited to join in with their very own pizza preparation - a true 'pizza' the action for the little ones! However, should you, your loved one, your family or your colleagues simply seek sublime service and a relaxed meal, then the staff at Al Forno are only too happy to oblige.

Every Italian staple you could imagine is served at Al Forno, with the freshly prepared, well-priced pizzas proving a particular favourite, while the pasta and fish dishes are extremely fresh and delicious. The restaurant also serves some gorgeous desserts and a nice selection of fine wines and beers too. Open for lunch and dinner every day, this friendly, welcoming and vibrant restaurant is a great choice for a memorable meal any time of the year.
