“I finally made it into the market today after hearing so many good things about it for so long. I’m so glad I did! I’m usually not a fan of prepared foods, but got a selection of their offerings for the week. Everything I’ve tried has been absolutely outstanding, each dish better than the last. The panecotte Is better than some I’ve had in five star restaurants and that’s after taking it home and reheating it. I’ve been very happy with all the other dishes as well and I’m so glad I found this local spot and will be going there much more frequently.“

“I have been ordering takeouts at Il Forno for the past seven. I started with bacon and onions pizza which was great. I then changed to eggplant pizza and it has to be the best I have ever had. Now I have moved on to shrimp marinara with linguine and I can't tell you how great this dish is. The shrimp are so large and fresh and the sauce is excellent. The filet of sole must weigh at least 2 pounds and my husband gets it every week. The filet is enough for two meals and so is the shrimp. Thank you Il Forno for making our Friday takeout a special treat.“

“On Saturday, June 11th after my Mom’s Memorial service I brought 35 people to lunch. The waitstaff was well organized, very attentive, not to mention the food was OUTSTANDING!! Everyone ordered off the menu, drinks were served along with appetizers and dessert. We all ate at the same time which is hard to do with that many people. I would highly recommend Cafe Fiore in Branford, CT to anyone who is looking to have an event or just a nice lunch or dinner. They staff worked so well together that I gave them a 30% gratuity. WELL DONE CAFE FIORE!“

“Newer to the Branford hill area. Hands down the best pizza and pasta I have had in a while. The first time was just a slice then had to bring home food for my husband and ordered the chicken parm and the chicken and broccoli. We loved it! Today, he ordered me a chicken parm lunch and a small pizza for him. The owner is extremely nice and friendly.“
