From the phone call to ask about a table to the very end of our visit, we felt like we mattered & they took good care of us, we weren’t just another bum on a seat. The man(owner maybe) was very helpful & said he could fit us in & make sure we were done in time for our movie after. Said he’d look after us, how lovely.
Hubby ordered carbonara & I ordered veal scallopini & we shared a chips. Drinks, garlic bread, chips & meals all came out very quickly & the waitress & waiter were very friendly & attentive.
Think we’ve found a new favourite, definitely worth the 37 min drive from home!
Will be back soon to try more meals on the menu.
Thank you for wonderful service & a lovely dinner.
Last minute decision to eat pizza took us here. My friend who lives nearby had been before so we were aware that the pizzas were excellent.. and they certainly were! Great welcome, friendly and efficient service and reasonable prices.
Myself and my friend go to La Fornetta every couple of weeks, we love the well priced delicious food, the friendly staff and the wonderful old fashioned service
Came here as a table of 7 for Saturday dinner. We were the first ones in the restaurant but the place quickly filled up. Service was good and quite quick.. Maybe a little too quick as we felt a little rushed when they started clearing our plates without everyone having finished. Food is on the expensive side but portions are plentiful and tasted Came here as a table of 7 for Saturday dinner. We were the first ones in the restaurant but the place quickly filled up.

Impeccable service. Probably the best table service I’ve ever received. The waitress knew what we needed without being prompted which made dining with a big group with young kids a breeze. Food was great too.
This place feels like a 70's restaurant, big open space with heaps of table so ambience was friendly but functional. There is private area screened off at the back and an open kitchen and a big wood fired pizza oven. The service was friendly and attentive without being intrusive and the menu extensive. I started with some bread which came with warm olives, balsamic & oil and rocket it was a tasty, cheap start. The food ticked all the boxes my wife had a cordon bleu steak which I thought was slightly expensive at $42 and was slightly overdone but it was a very good piece of meat and came with some creamy prawns. I went with penne callabrese and it was cooked perfectly, extremely tasty with quite a bite. They do byo which is a bonus, overall it was a tick and I will definitely revisit.
Absolutely amazing food. It is all very tasty. Sundae could be improved a little as its just icecream scoops in a flat plate with some sauce and peanut sprinkles. Service was fantastic.
Just the best Italian in Perth - I think all the Italians in Perth must come to Al Fornetto for any excuse to celebrate as there is always such a lively atmosphere filled with families - And even though the restaurant is generally full - service is always excellent and we have never had a bad meal - highly recommended
Ok. So every time I have been here, it has been consistently excellent. Firstly, with a multitude of friendly wait staff, there is always someone (psychic it seems) ready to replace your empty water bottle without asking, or replace the rogue piece of cutlery that fell on the floor. Our table of eclectically aged diners have ordered something from every chapter of the menu and been totally satisfied. The tasting plate is particularly good value and the standout main meal for seafood lovers (me) is the Grilled Seafood Plate. An overly generous serving of quality grilled seafood, accompanied by a basically delicious salad with avocado, is, IMO, the best seafood meal on any menu in Perth. The pizza and pasta also had rave reviews, as did the saltimbocca. Such a breath of fresh air compared to some of the pretentious "up and coming" eateries in Perth. Thank you Al Fornetto, we will see you again soon.
Come here all the time, we never book ( for the two of us) and they always manage to fit us in with a smile. Food comes in big servings, is very tasty and very reasonably priced.
This place is a classic Italian restaurant full of families and large groups.
The meals are of a generous size and very tasty. There is a large range of pizzas and a good selection of specials.
Staff are friendly and attentive and you can BYO wine.
Absolutely beautiful Italian food, laid back dining area and excellent service. Marinara and penne calabrese to die for. Will definitely return!
We love this place! I do wish the menu would change a bit more often, and g/f pizza or pasta would be good, but the service is first rate & the food is lovely.
We also like that the kitchen opens later than other restaurants in the area.
My kids and I love the pizza. Best pizza base in Scarborough. Love that they are open for an early dinner as well. Over very good and easy to get to.
We are always looked after in our old fave local Italian restaurant. Great family operation.
The food is always high quality, tasty and consistent. Great long term staff, very customer service orientated.
I have been coming to this place for years. The food is always good. It is a little bit expensive but you get what you pay for. I recommend it.

Nice Meal. Great little local place, staff were friendly and helpful.
The meals were tasty and no complaints, the Garlic Prawns were very tasty. The sharing platter was a great way to start the meal. The pizza was ok (try the shack in Scarborough) for the best pizza. There was no pasta or pizza Gluten Free options which was disappointing. The other meals in our group were all good including the Goat.
No deserts this time the Tiramisu was a let down last visit.
We took 2 bottles of wine, didn't drink one bottle but still charged corkage for 2 bottles a little rich.
Great pizza but please please get coke. Pizza and Pepsi just don't go.
I love this restaurant. Food is great staff are lovely even the boss himself is a delight.. Reasonable prices - I always come here for a good Italian feed without $$$$ price. Vegetarian Homemade Cannelloni is the best I've ever had! KUDOS!
As soon as we entered the restaurant there was a black out and spite the obvious disruption the staff handled everything well. Our food was brought out quickly and was a decent portion. The gnochhi was light and fluffy and very satisfying. Family friendly atmosphere. I'm glad i discovered this little gem!
Very good pasta. Mediocre service. Tiramisu is below average.
Dinner. Great Service and Food & Drinks were excellent. Best woodfired pizza I've ever had. Definately coming back.
Thumbs up. We have been to this place a few times for pizza. Food is very nice, staff are friendly and it's good value. Food itself is basic but unpretentious, good if you are looking for relaxed and informal dinner.
Im not a big Italian food fan but I love this restaurant! The staff are all lovely and attentive, the atmosphere is very warm and inviting and my partner and I are massive fans of their tasting plate and chicken/mushroom tortellini. Highly recommend coming here for dinner for any occasion!
Homely Italian. We have visited Al Fornetto twice in the last few months as it is quite close to home. The venue is what you would expect for a mid range italian restuarant - large, open and quite a family restaurant atmosphere. Both times have been mid week so there has been maybe a half full restaurant. Service has been friendly and efficient both times, seated quickly and water has been poured for us straight away. Staff are happy to offer suggestions and answer questions when deciding what to choose from the menu. The Lamb on the specials menu was absolutely delicious, and coming from me who doesn't usually enjoy lamb - thats saying something!! The seafood salad was also great - large fresh scallops and prawns - perfectly cooked with generous servings of avocado on a bed of lettuce. Service was quick and we felt well looked after on both occasions
Food was amazing,so was the staffs proffesional well organised and welcoming. Highly recommend
Great Meal. After eating at Al Fornettos for the first time I just had to sign up on urbanspoon to give my first review. The meal was delicious and the service was outstanding. I had a pizza with a mouth-watering salad and my boyfriend had a steak with the best veggies I've ever tasted. I will definitely be heading there again and I recommend everyone to try the side salads! yummy!
Great staff. The food is pretty average but it is a great place to have lunch with friends, they accommodate for large groups and are very obliging. I can recommend the salads, fish & chips. They don't make very nice coffee, room for improvement there. Friendly staff, nice and clean, central area.
Value Breakfasts. My nephew and I come here regularly for a weekend breakfast. There is a lovely waitress who always remembers us and always makes my nephew feel really special. The food portions are large and really tasty. The only thing I wouldn't recommend is the coffee - I am not sure if perhaps they clean the machine first thing in the morning but quite often it has the taste of nail polish remover! Other than that it's amazing - I recommend it to all my friends.
A Solid C Grade. Big family dinner tonight involving all ages from 4 to 80. The wait staff were sensational for this type of ramily restaurant. The young girl serving our table was happy, knowledgable and keen to ensure we got the best out of our night at Al Fornetto. My middle child asked for a pen after being there for 2 minutes and she happily obliged immediately without thinking about what he might do with it. Pizzas for entree were solid. Not the best I've had but certainly not the worst. Mains were fine although we had to wait over an hour and a quarter for them. This aside, they looked after the kids with their strange ice cream requests. I would be happy to come back should the opportunity arise. Looking at how busy the place was, there are obviously a lot of people willing to return which must be for a good reason.
Always the first choice!. Whenever we plan to have dinner out, Al Fornetto’s is usually considered and often ends up being where we go.
Have eaten there plenty of times and have not had a bad meal once. The pizzas are excellent and the pasta is great.
The service is fast and friendly and they are always accommodating.
As long as they continue in the vein, Al Fornetto’s will continue to be at the top of our list!
Just been to Al Fornetto for the first time, everything was perfect from the service, to the food, to the wine! Very pleased and it was reasonably priced. Will definitely go back.
Lovely service. We recently dined here and were over the moon with the level of service we got. Sadly we ordered some mussels that were sour so had to send them back but the manager was very understanding and took the meal off our bill. Over all not a bad place, have had better but the atmosphere and staff were lovely.
Service was friendly and swift . Food was great for the price . Wine was above average in price and selection. Atmosphere was a little noisy but not too bad . My panfried prawn and scollop salad was a bit cool but very tasty . kids meals are great . This place is a far better alternative to some of the eqivilant places in leederville or Osborne park . 6/10 . We will be back .
Reasonable.... I've been to Al Fornetto three times now. It's always pretty solid but it never really blows me away.
The service is firendly and fast, and the food is always ok but not outstanding.
I don't rush back here. I would go to La Vela, Relish or Gino's before I would go here.
I came here with 8 family members and we ordered, the food came out quickly and tasted great. We all enjoyed it. They were there when we wanted more drinks and we never had to wait long for service. The staff were friendly and I would definitely come back.
Decent pizza and service. Thought the Napoli pizza here tasted great - its a simple pizza with anchovies, tomato and cheese. Also like the fact they have a kids menu which includes a soft drink and ice cream. Spaghetti vongole was also top notch.
Craving saltimbocca??. Deliciously rich to the point where i flush my arteries with some more red wine... a mind spinningly good saltimbocca..
I love this place!! I'm here 2-3 times a week. It's always open, the staff are utterly amazing. The food is good and always out in a decent time. Al Fornetto doesn't pretend to be something it's not. Extremely dependable. 4 stars from me :)
I went for lunch and ordered the chilli mussels these were the best mussels I have had!!! will definatly get these again!!!
Love al fornettos! Great food, great service. Was our second home for a while prior to the arrival of kids :-P
Great casual dining. Been going for years on and off and never had a bad experience. Friendly, fantastic staff who were prompt and polite. Food was great - I had their lasagna, my partner had the steak/prawn combo. Excellent. Great place for casual, family dining and well priced. Definitely would recommend this restaurant!
Group of 16 people went for dinner on Saturday staff was very attentive, But food was expensive. My friends loved chili mussels and meatballs . We enjoyed 1 hour stay dinner at AL Fornetto.
Friendly service and delicious Italian food as I don’t know much of Italian food 😅. I would recommend this place to everyone.
Ribeye is one the best in Perth. Mussles was soooooo fresh! Oysters 🦪 are freshly 🪒 shovelled. Speghetti is so good as well. Desserts, I love the peanut flavour one, but Tiramisu was very good as well.
Absolutely awesome place for delicious food, service and atmosphere. Open seven days a week lunch and dinner. This is how you run a great restaurant.
All meals were fresh and authentic. We celebrated my Dads birthday here for lunch and were all extremely satisfied.
I went to AL Fornetto on the Queen's birthday and had a wonderful time i ordered the Frutta di mare and Gnocchi Al Fornetto, the pizza was lovely but just was hoping for more seafood and the Gnocchi was incredible i can't wait to eat it again.
We had a family get together here. 10 of us. Good Italian based food. Everyone said they enjoyed their meals (mainly pasta) which was reasonably priced and tasty. Friendly staff and good service.
The chilli prawn tasted very unique.
The baby lamb was very soft.
Overall experience was good and the staff was accommodating.
Minus one for the speed of delivery; was quiet but the food still took a while.
This is the second time that we just pop in without a reservation and we still manage a table ☺️.
They told us would be a bit of delay, but was pretty fast considering it was packed.
And the best part, THE FOOD!
Grilled Seafood Plate delichocho!❤️❤️❤️
