Pizzaria Alforno - Lagos

I showed up over 30mins before they opened, mind you, after a long afternoon run. I intended to just order dinner for takeaway. But Andrea was so warm and welcoming, she agreed to prepare me an espresso while I waited for them to open. 15mins later, she agreed to prepare me a (very generous) glass of wine and plate of olives while i waited LOL. Eventually I just decided to stay and have a meal and another wine. While there, I saw a family of regulars arrive who hugged Andrea as they entered so this place is obviously so welcoming that people keep coming back. 10/10 for the welcoming atmosphere, super generous servings (pasta entree is good for 2) and Andrea is a STAR.

I’m very surprised by some of the good reviews on here. You were lucky or perhaps not too familiar with good Italian food, in whichever country. Not sure what else was on the pizza but there was definitely an overload of oregano and it was bitter. As for the pasta how they had the nerve to serve it up is a very bad joke. Looked and tasted like yesterday’s stuck together pasta warmed up in the microwave that we heard ping. No sauce just put in a bowl with a few dry prawns. Shocking really

We decided to pop into this pizza place after playing mini golf nearby. Having been before we though it might be OK but, sadly things have gotten worse. The service from the waitress was appalling. Grumpy and disinterested. We ordered drinks and they didn’t come out for 20 plus minutes the restaurant was half full) When the pizza finally arrived, one of them was over cooked and had burnt edges whilst the other one had far too much cheese on them. I asked if they had chilli oil and the waitress shahid yes but didn’t bring any over. We reminded her when settling the bill and she said ‘Yes I remember now’ but no apology! To add insult to injury, when paying the bill they charged us for breadsticks that we didn’t ask for and we’re hidden with the cutlery we were given. Cheap trick! This will be our last visit to this pizza place. Fortunately there are many other good pizza places in Lagos nearby so, try them instead!

We went twice during our stay in Lagos their signature dish the cortina lasagne was exceptional the pizzas were fab , the service great and the staff were super friendly too Their house red wine was very moreish too if a high standard We would highly recommend this great restaurant ! Many thanks

I went to this restaurant by accident, I’d been on google looking for a vegan friendly Italian, which I thought was this. I was a little disappointed that their vegan option was a pizza with no cheese (usually restaurants offer a vegan cheese alternative) I couldn’t be bothered to go elsewhere so ordered it. I was so shocked at how tasty it was!!!! I didn’t miss not having cheese on it one bit. I ate here 3 times in total, had the pizza again tried the pasta. I travel to Italy a quite a lot, so the bench mark for pasta is pretty high, although I wouldn’t say it was as tasty as the pizza wasn’t as good as pasta I’d had in Italy (but I expect that) it was certainly the best pasta I’d had in Lagos!
