  “We’d been meaning to try here for a while and had a lovely time! Pizza was very good, dough was soft and not chewy. Perfect to share or have to yourself 🍕. We will definitely come back soon!”

  “Good selection of tasty, freshly baked Neapolitan pizzas at fair prices. Friendly, efficient service from all staff. The restaurant is quite large and can lack a bit of homely atmosphere during the day, when it is not busy.”

  “Visited a few weeks back and it took a very long time for staff to take our orders and to get our bill. We had to remind them on a few occasions that we were waiting. Pizzas were okay- size was great but not much taste from the sauce. The venue itself was lovely but took far too long to order, get pizzas and then the bill.”

  “Pizza was excellent, I thought Altrincham didn’t need any more pizza places but these were really good, Neapolitan with a crispy base and not the floppy sloppy kind you often get. good ingredients cooked and seasoned well, will definitely go again”

  “We visited during the opening week and I do believe with a bit more experience Forno will be a great pizza place. I enjoyed my pizza and there was a good range of options and fairly good prices - very similar to Rudys. That being said, my partner ordered the exact same pizza as me but they came out looking very different - and my partners was very very oily (see photos). The service was slow and the pizza took quite a while to come out (50+ minutes) but the staff were friendly and helpful when they did come over. I ordered an aperol spritz which was fine but not the right colour - i think the bar staff need more training. The manager (i think) was stood around the whole time and didn’t seem interested in helping out the inexperienced and overloaded staff. From experience, I know pizzas like this only take a couple of minutes to cook (maximum!), but there were times when there was only one chef which i imagine contributed to the long waits. Again, I am sure Forno will find its feet but it felt like with a bit better management it would have been a much more enjoyable evening for everyone.”

  “What a treat! The pizzas are huge, but so deliciously light. We had a fabulous experience tonight and for what we had it was very reasonable. We tried three different pizzas and they were all beautifully cooked with delicious ingredients. Katherine gave us a lovely welcome; she was brilliant - very patient and offered some good advice on the menu. On the way out, the chef (whose name I didn’t get) made a point of thanking us for coming. He was working very hard and the quality was exceptional. This was the first time I’ve eaten a whole pizza and not felt like I’d overdone it! Lovely lighting and a nice atmosphere, despite it being a quiet Wednesday. We would highly recommend. We will definitely be back to try more off the menu!”

  “The mushroom and truffle pizza is good and also the small antipasto. The rocket does not have a bitter taste with the dried tomatoes and soft cheese eaten together. However, the crust of the pizza is a bit salty. The dinning area is comfortable, with good atmosphere and the staff are friendly and helpful.”

  “Went on day three of their opening — both pizzas were great, and the staff were excellent! Fornia is essentially a carbon copy of Rudi’s, right down to the menu design. That said, Rudi’s has been going downhill with all their mass franchising, so the competition is welcome. The pizza itself was solid — the dough was spot on, though it did feel like there was a bit too much tomato around the edges. Chill oil on the tables would make this place even better! Also, please get table numbers! Watching the poor staff running around trying to find the right tables was funny, but definitely not ideal.”

  “Absolutely outstanding! The warmest of welcomes from staff when we arrived. Service was exceptional and quick. As for the pizza WOW! Forno is by far the best pizza place in Altrincham and knocks spots off Rudys. The flavours are insane and the dips are incredible. So much so that I’ve booked to have Forno delivered during my 50th! Thanks guys and see you soon”
