Reviews for Al Forno Caffe in Costa Mesa, CA
We had dinner on Friday at AL Forno Caffe and everyone in our group LOVED it! The whole cocktail menu sounded so good that we... had trouble narrowing it down. The shrimp scampi was my favorite appetizer, but the mushroom polenta was also popular. Andeveryone loved the entree they got. I personally felt like my eggplant parm was the best, but the pastas were all amazing.Everything tasted fresh, and was cooked and seasoned to perfection. We were also impressed that each pasta dish tastedcompletely unique. Sometimes at Italian restaurants all the dishes taste like they all came from the sam pan, but that was notthe case here. I highly recommend AL Forno Caffe for a great comforting Italian meal! Read more

Comfortable neighborhood owner operated northern Italian eatery. Check out their happy hour and daily specials for the best... deals, but the heart of the place is in the entrees created by the chef/owner. I've never had a bad meal in the couple dozenvisits to this place. There's even a handful of outside tables if you're still interested in avoiding indoor spaces. Read more
Amazing food and fun staff. Waiters are very charming and it is a enjoyable atmosphere. Go on Wednesdays, their entire wine list... is 1/2 off. No catch. Read more
Very nice and cozy restaurant and decor. The food and the cocktails were good, the staff is very friendly and considerate,... especially Jaime. The service was a little bit slow at some point, other than that, this first time was good overall. Read more
Our party of 6 came hungry last Friday night, and we were not disappointed! We ordered a bunch of appetizers: all excellent. I... got the veal as my entree, but we all sampled each other, and most of us agreed that while they were all plate-licking good, theone with the pork sausage was voted the best on the table. We also ordered a dessert each and passed them around. Also divine! Igot the mousse tart, and I thought it was the best out of the whole bunch. Great service, too. Slow enough to enjoy each otherand our dishes. Read more
We continue to enjoy this spot. Delicious food, friendly service, and even accordion music to entertain you while you eat. We... enjoyed fettuccine alfredo, the mushroom pasta, the pulled pork pasta, the delicious bread served at the table, the specialburata appetizer, as well as the asparagus appetizer. Nothing disappointed, everything was delicious! If you have not tried thisplace, you need to try this place. Read more
