Al Forno in Hillingdon

Not sure how long Al Forno Caffe has been open but it was new for us when we visited. It is a friendly and welcoming place with a pleasant interior and a relaxed environment. We only had coffee although their is a selection of cakes available. There is also a real pizza oven which was quite busy on a Sunday afternoon. The pizzas looked very tasty, but I noted they are fairly pricey. The coffee wasn't bad although my wife needed an extra shot as her Americano was rather weak. In a high street which sees a fast turnover of eateries it will be interesting to see if Al Forno is able to establish itself.

We had such a lovely family lunch here. Great pizzas. The dough and toppings were perfect. Lots of choice and the staff are really friendly. We sat outside with our puppy but felt it was dog friendly too. Lovely lunch spot.

Nice folded-over pizza, big enough to share - but expensive if you don't share. They have a licence too but we didn't realise until we had ordered soft drinks.

Discovered this place by chance, as I was given a drinks voucher at a clothes shop, for spending a certain amount of money. (Sorry, this promotion has now finished.) As soon as I went inside, I thought the cafe looked modern and yet comfortable and welcoming. There was an appealing display of cakes, etc. I could also see a pizza oven (and have since read on their website that they sell tasty-sounding pizzas) What I noticed above all, though, was how lovely the three people behind the counter were. It's unusual to go somewhere as welcoming as this and I look forward to going there again (even though I don't live in Ruislip)
