Hands down the best Italian food in Nashville and possibly some of the best in the U.S. so far. On par with or better than Italian food in Boston. Having just returned from 2 weeks in Italy, I can honestly say this is authentic Italian! Every dish was amazing, especially the pasta.

Great food, even with reservations, you wait. Parking is a nightmare, service was slow, 15 min to get water, 20 to get a drink

Service was excellent. Drinks were amazing. Food flavor was good, but everything was lukewarm warm— it came out really quickly, so just undercooked pizza, relied on hot sauce to heat meatballs ( it didn’t).

Morgan was a fabulous host. Our lunch arrival was table service perfection with every dish: insalate Mondragone, St. Gabriele, panna cotta, tiramisu excellently delicious. IL Forno is tucked in a quiet nook. A hidden gem. Parking limited with other establishments having to share. Entry a little tricky, but worth the zig-zags. HIghly recommend.

Fresh pasta made on site incorporated into a series of dishes, but falls short with the shells still on the shrimp, and the pasta is served more al dente than we would like. Tje focaccia is just their pizza crust. The service is excellent. The atmosphere is bright and minimalist. There is a full bar and a short but diverse wine list. The Carpaccio is uniquely served with greens, and the desserts are delicious

Il Forno was one of my favorite restaurants in Nashville. This is the second time that we have been and the wait staff was horrible, terrible and unpleasant. Food was cold…wait staff did not give a s—-! Food was late and wait staff could care less! I have met the owner several times and if he was a customer he would be appauled! I will not be back and I will not spend money here again and don’t recommend you do either! Which makes me sad because I think it is some of the best food in nashville, but I will not be treated this way again. Maybe they don't need my business but this is the second time it was a horrible experience and I cannot recommend you visit!
