We invited children to the party, and my sister and I sat at a separate table to give them some independence. The staff were attentive and patient with the kids, ensuring that they were well taken care of. The evening went smoothly without any rush. The staff went above and beyond to accommodate us, and the food was fantastic. I want to extend a big thank you to all the staff at Alfornos. - Sue

The area upstairs was completely overbooked which meant that some of my guests had to wait for seats, complete refusal to serve drinks at times and no communication between the staff. Felt genuinely sorry for the young staff members who were spoken to disgracefully by management throughout the night. Luckily I had created a list of food orders, which kept some organisation, but paying the bill was complete chaos for every guest at the end, some standing for minutes trying to pay. I am so disappointed that I had chosen Al Fornos to have my celebration and will be taking my complaint further to ensure this doesn’t happen to anyone else

We were extremely disappointed by the service at this restaurant. The upstairs area was overbooked, leading to some guests waiting for seats and difficulty in receiving drinks. There was a lack of communication among the staff and they were treated poorly by management. Fortunately, I had provided a list of food orders to maintain some organization. However, paying the bill was chaotic for all guests, with some waiting for minutes to settle their bill. I regret choosing Al Fornos for our celebration and will be escalating my complaint to prevent others from experiencing the same issues.
