Al Forno Italian Restaurant

One of my most favorite restaurants in Singapore. Al Forno. One of my favorite cuisines. Italian. From my favorite country in the world. Italia. I've been to Italy twice and I think the food at Al Forno matches the authencity of what you get at ristorantes in Sicily, Venice or Florence. And Rome. This can definitely be attributed to the fact that the chef/owner is from Italy. Be greeted with "Ciao!" and "Grazie!" when you leave the restaurant. Where the exit is, you can see the fireplace oven used to bake the pizzas. Great impression.

Seafood Pizza (there is of cuz the fancy Italian name, but I'll state it in layman terms which can be found in the menu descriptions - in case any of you wanna order) - $21

Always ask for additional toppings. See the mushrooms on the pizza? Guess the cost.

$1. Totally worth it.

The seafood serving is generous and extremely fresh. They do deliveries too. Try Al Forno's pizza and you'll never turn to Pizza Hut for another seafood pizza. Ever again. The crust is quite thin, and its crispy. I like to dip the crust (like bread) into olive oil and balsamic vinegar. True Italian Style.

The crayfish pasta ($21) is an ultimate fav and a MUST-ORDER everytime I visit. Once again, generous serving. Go on an empty stomach for this one - even guys find it only manageable. The sauce is oh-so-good, you can actually finish the spaghetti on its own without crayfish. Swensen's crayfish spaghetti is not bad too. Puts up a good fight against Al Forno with a lot of extra ingredients, but imo, loses face flat. Simple is good.

This has got to be one of the BEST cream pastas ever. GENEROUS amt of seafood - even more than the penne. The sauce does not irk you after a few mouthfuls (alot of ppl stay away from cream pastas cuz of the overpowering taste). Change your opinion of cream pastas at Al Forno today. Notice I'm hard-selling this restaurant, but only cuz it's REALLY good.
