We had a tribute dinner to toast my recently deceased father in the private room and it was perfect! We'd like to thank the staff who did such an amazing job for the kind of dinner we had. The food was fabulous, everyone - vegetarians, seafood lovers alike loved their meals. Some of our favorites- Calamari - "best we've ever had" Bread - "I could eat just this amazing bread for dinner" Crème Brûlée - our dads favorite dessert and it was sooo good - Meatballs - "Perfect" Thank you! Delicious and memorable!

Very subpar food and the service is always hit or miss. Sometimes they are welcoming and most times they couldn't care less about the service being provided. If the food was good then fine but it's the last place I would go for "Italian"

We been here many times and always enjoy the food and service. Just a note...brought our 15 month old son here for his first experience and were surprised to find there was no changing table in the women's restroom despite been listed as kid friendly and having high chairs.

This place is amazing! The ambiance is totally date night, the food is delicious and reasonably priced for more of an authentic restaurant. Service is super friendly and the restaurant is very clean!!

Delicious bread, but not impressed with food...at all! My husband continues to go, but I am not A fan.

One of my favorite places. The food is always delicious and the staff is wonderful. I have nothing to complain about only good things to compliment.

From the other reviews, I expected the food to be hopefully good, the place to be loud, the bread to be bomb, and the drinks to be good. We sat outside, so didn't experience any loudness. It was really nice and the service was attentive. The people are right - the bread is phenomenal. More so, the dip is phenomenal. Eat the bread and dip fresh and save the other dishes for leftovers! The dip is olive oil and balsamic that have been marinated with herbs, including fresh basil and something with a hint of heat. You get two free loaves and can pay for additional ones. I had the naughty pasta, and it was excellent. A good sauce makes all the difference for a spaghetti. While the meatballs were not my favorite, they were surprisingly tender and juicy (something was off on the flavor for me personally, but my partner really liked them... and I enjoyed them nonetheless!). The pasta was slightly past al dente, which I really like. Not mushy, but not hard. I felt like there was enough sauce. I was worried at first that the pasta would absorb the sauce as leftovers and get weird, but they survived perfectly fine. And it is A LOT of food! Would get again. My partner had fettucine with chicken piccata. He enjoyed it. The green beans were nice and soft, not too squeaky but not mushy. He likes his better, but it was very nice. We also had an aperol spritzer and a peartini [something like that, it was pink and sweet with a rim of sugar]. All excellent. I'll probably get the aperol spritzer next time, it wasn't too bitter but not too watered down, quite big and strong! The peartini was a very tasty but a little too sweet for me (we had just had very delicious sweet mead earlier that day at Strad Meadery nearby so I was a little tapped out on sugar!). The tiramisu was also very good. Soft and moist. Some places make it too cake-y or airy or stale or go too hard with a whipped cream, but this was just right. Not the best we've had, but very high on the list! Would get again.

Great food, friendly service. Let's see what the bill looks like. Lol! Guess I have to type more words so: blah, blah, blah, blah.

Great food and ambiance, lively and a bit noisy, great place if you want a fun place but prepare to speak up if you want to be heard. Super wine selection.
Love this place. Hands down the best chicken Parmesan ever and we eat at the best places all over the country. Always excited when I'm back in the area to have dinner here. Can't wait to go back!

Had dinner tonight with another couple. This has been "our place" for the last few years. It is geographically a mid point and we have met there dozens of times. This will likely be the last for a while. Felt rushed the whole time, it took 3 requests to get a soup spoon (brought 2 different small spoons). Wifes both ordered "seared" shrimp on their salads and they looked as though they never saw the grill (white and cool). Normally they come around with fresh cheese for the pasta and when they didn't I asked for cheese and they brought a shaker like you would get in a pizza joint. Not up to par, we will seek another restaurant.

We've lived nearby for years, but for some reason never visited Il Forno. Let me say, we've been missing out! The food was amazing and service was seamless. Their large portions made for great lunches the next day. Each team member seemed to anticipate what we would need and would always be there to take care of us. We will definitely be back!
