You eat halaal Italian food at Del Forno in Killarney Mall, where the wood-fired oven turns out pizzas and the pasta is made by hand. The restaurant is one of forty-seven in a chain that began as a single takeaway in 2000, now serving families and groups in a mall setting.

The menu covers pizzas, pastas, grills, and breakfasts, with separate options for children and date-night specials. Ingredients are sourced for halaal compliance, and the kitchen works the way Italian kitchens do — the dough is fermented, the sauces simmered.

Killarney Mall puts the restaurant at a junction of neighbourhoods, so the tables fill with locals who know the menu and mall visitors who spot the fire from the oven. The chain started small and grew by sticking to the method: bake the bread properly, keep the ingredients clean, let the oven do its work.

Del Forno is in Shop 25a of the mall, on Riviera Road.
