It was our first visit to Al Forno. The food was delicious and service by Laura was excellent. She looked after us from start to finish. Will highly recommend.

Hadn't been for while but was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food.Lovely restaurant and great service. Went for the Cocktail Di Gamberetti starter, followed by Pollo Di Nduja , which was absolutely delicious. Wouldn't hesitate to book again.

Positive: The food was lovely and the seats were comfy Negative: The table we were seated at was too small for us and right next to the kitchen, leading us to be being constantly walked by, hearing only plates clatter and the door repeatedly swinging open. When my lasagna arrived, it was covered in a pool of grease and bubbling. Due to how small our table was for us, me slightly turning lead to me burning my hand on the molten hot food. A lady constantly came up to us asking about what we wanted when we were clearly eating. And this sounds a bit r@cist but the lady clearly didn't speak good English and had a very heavy accent. They refused to play anything but remixed covers of songs which were all terrible. It was as if they were scared to get a copyright strike?

From the minute we walked in and confirmed our booked table we were already told we had 1 hour 30 mins and then they needed the table back - we felt watched as if a stopwatch was present and I feel like the food matched the time restraint very rushed - we witnessed senior members of staff berating the servers as if the tables needed instantly clearing when our cutlery just touched our plates as we finished and not to forget people were still eating on our table. At the end of our meal we had 4 servers approaching us with the same question as if the bill needed to be paid there and then and then with the 30 mins remaining on the countdown to giving our table back they say any room for dessert when the last 4 servers asked us about paying the bill! Won't be returning, didn't enjoy ourselves as time became the main theme of our table so that we didn't overstay our welcome!

Chicken burger dry as a bone and hard. The bread bun felt stale, it snapped when I tried to break it. Service poor, had to keep asking for things, cutlery, condiments and drinks. Some of the drinks we ordered had to be ordered more than once. Won't go back.

Went for a meal last night and got 2 parmos. They came within 5 minutes and the chicken was pink throughout. I usually don't ever complain in restaurants but chicken should always be cooked through. I sent it back and got another, which was also mostly pink again. My wife ate the outsides of hers but unfortunately the middle was also undercooked. I eventually got a refund for one of them, but was disappointed to still go home hungry. The chef said it was a vein, which I found a bit condescending considering all 3 parmos were mostly pink and undercooked and clear as day to see. Such a shame as I've been for many fantastic meals in the past here and never had such a bad experience with the food! Maybe it's because I hadn't booked and came early in the evening, but I'd still never expect to be served raw chicken. The staff were nice enough but seemed more bothered about their reputation rather than the quality of the food and health of the customers.

Decided on Al Forno as it was close to the office for a leaving lunch. I have visited a few times & the food was good, but today I have to say the main dish was really not good at all. The dish of pasta with vegetables was £12.95, I was very disappointed, and sorry to say will not be revisiting. Have rated atmosphere 3* as I was with friends.

Nice food and nice staff! Edit-Just been again today (the previous review was based on an experience a few months ago but I forgot to leave a review).The portion size for the parmos have definitely gotten small and the prices seemed to have increase by ~£1.Personally, at that value it’s no longer a viable option as it’s just a bit overpriced in my opinion.Staff were still nice though and other meals were reasonably priced!

Sadly what used to be a sought after restaurant when it first opened has now dwindled to becoming somewhere I don't visit. Portion sizes have reduced excessively compared to other restaurants and the food quality is also poor in comparison to local offerings. The restaurant is more of a "convenience" for visitors owing to its close proximity to surrounding houses however it's not somewhere I would recommend to visit any more.

Used to frequent Al fornos in middlesbrough and loved it. Unfortunately, they moved on, and Aroma took over, which has since closed. First time for us in Coulby and it was a pleasant surprise. The staff were friendly and helpful. The food was excellent, and the deal they have on Tuesdays for two steak meals and a bottle of wine is well worth it. Will be making a regular event.

My wife and I ate here last week with 4 of our friends. First of all I overheard conversations from the management to the staff and they talked to them like they were scum. To be fair the staff are very young and should be trained not bullied. We ordered our drinks and meals when I was asked if I had any allergies I confirmed I could not have acetic acid eg. Vinigar, mayonais etc. I ordered a fillet steak medium well and requested no dressing on my salad. When my meal came it had vinigaret on the salad and my stake was rare blood running out of it. I sent it back and they brought a new salad and re cooked my steak. By the time my meal came every one else was finished. No apologies. One of my our friends had Risotto Pescataro one if the prawns was still frozen. We also ordered a second round of drinks and they forgot one of the drinks. I did speak to the manager who did not offer any reduction in the bill or compensation. I certinally will not be eating here ever again I can not speak for my friends but they were also disappointed by the service and could not wait to leave. It is such a shame as Ingleby Barwick needs good places to eat. Ingleby Bistro is much, much better yet to try Manjaro's but will review once we have visited.

Parking us dubious, as people have got tickets for parking at Al Forno's when visiting. When I rang for a table, they told me they were wanting to close early! Do you not want business? The food tasted nice. I ordered a chicken dish and the portion size was very small. Don't like the menu changes either.

We go here maybe once every month or two. It's nice and easy, good service, good food and a fair price. The car park is quite compact and only has four disabled spaces, which sounds a lot but there are lot of other businesses in the area. There are no steps into the restaurant and they have a ground floor disabled loo. If you need to stay on the ground floor, I would phone ahead and request ground floor as it can get quite busy. The stairs do have a hand rail and there are male female toilets upstairs. My kids 4 and 8 year old are pasta fiends. So we get one adult portion of pasta and one child and they share. The kids meals come with a drink and desert.
