"We discovered Al Forno a few years ago and have been coming back at least twice a year from San Diego. It is a neighborhood restaurant, with a very pleasant staff and excellent food. The portions are generous and the food quality is excellent, with very reasonable prices. Wednesdays are half price wine nights, with excellent wines at reasonable prices. I recommend Al forno most highly, as a neighborhood restaurant but also as a destination place if you are passing through Costa Mesa in your way further north or south."

Food: Delicious! We had the papparadelle funghi, pasta al forno, salmon, and rigatoni bolognese. The salmon was v juicy. My fav was the pappardelle funghi. For dessert we had the Panna Cotta and cheesecake also v yummy. For apps I would say try the fried artichoke hearts. We also had the caprese but I thought it was just okay. Vibes: Moody dark interior. Playing Italian music in the background. My parents loved it and kept commenting on the ambience. Service: was good and friendly!
