Okay, it’s true, Al Forno is, at least for East Coast locals, famed for it’s pizza above all else. After all, this is a Neapolitan Italian restaurant, and Naples is most famous for inventing Italy’s most famous culinary export, the pizza, and you can rest assured that this restaurant does not deviate from the demands that tradition places on producing the perfect pie. All the classics are represented on the menu, but it’s a safe bet that Singapore’s seafood fanatics will be into the costeria speciale, topped with mozzarella plus sauteed clams, prawns, mussels and squid.
Oven-baked main courses are also a major feature at Al Forno, with our recommendation being the whole red snapper making tasty friends with clams, mussels and prawns in a white wine sauce. A horde of other classic Italian pasta dishes, sides and desserts are on offer at this East Coast favourite, but be sure to watch out for the ever-changing promotional set meals such as the Sunday brunch menu, offering Singapore diners the chance to really explore authentic Italian cuisine at great prices. While Al Forno’s East Coast Road restaurant is spacious enough for a large celebration, casual diners are advised to make an advance booking.
