Food was delicious, authentic Italian. There was a slight mix up with our order and they comped our salad, appetizer and sent us a free dessert. The owner came to the table to apologize and was so kind. We will be back!

The food was authentic and very good. Our server was excellent. Alcohol was expensive. If you reserve a table, make sure it’s for at-least 3 ppl, even if your party only has 2. We had a reservation for 2 @ 6pm. 10 mins early and it took another hour to be seated because they wouldn’t sit us at a 3 or 4 top table. Even with no one else waiting. Several walk-in’s of 3 or more were put ahead of us. After 7pm on a Friday it was dead, so you could go then also. Having to wait for a table when there are available tables and no one waiting in line, with a reservation sealed the deal for me. Even tho the food was good, we won’t be back.

We've dined at Il Forno several times in the past and really enjoyed every aspect of it. This trip was not quite as fantastic but was still a great evening meal. Timing was a little off food wise but our server was phenomenal. Our pizza was a bit soggy and the lamb in the ragu was slightly dry. We also got the rigatoni again and it hit the spot as always. We tried quite a few specialty drinks and all were enjoyed by the table.

The food was terrific. We ate outside, so it was quieter than inside. The service was good, but the only thing that was frustrating was how fast the food was coming out rather than allowing us time to enjoy each item served. It is nice that you can also bring in your own wine for special occasions. I will definitely eat there again

Service was excellent and food was amazing! The pizzas continue to be the best in town along with the wonderful pasta. The Panna cotta dessert is still absolutely my favorite.

We had to wait about 20 minutes even with a reservation due to them being a little short staffed but other than that it was great. Food was outstanding. We got the specials for the night.
