My husband and I had never been to Il Forno's and I had heard good things so we took a chance. Emily was our server and she was very pleasant and attentive. The Bruschetta was delicious. The Caesar salad was fresh. He ordered the veal piccata and raved about it. I don't eat veal so I ordered the eggplant parmigiana. The eggplant was good, but the red sauce??? Sauce is not that difficult but this was awful! It was bitter and watery (it separated and water pooled at the bottom of my plate). It kinda tasted like the same sauce they use for pizza. It pretty much ruined the entire dish. If you're expecting a quiet, intimate dining experience, don't come here. With all the groups they pack in, it quickly begins to sound like a sports bar. I'm not sure that we'll be back. I certainly would not recommend Il Fornos.

New to the area so my first time trying this place and it won't be my last! I got the Caesar salad, it was good hard to mess up a Caesar salad lol Then I got an order of the garlic knots and the chicken parm! Both were delicious! The garlic knots were probably the best I've ever had. The chicken for the chicken parm wasn't beaten to death and super thin like alot of places make it. It was perfect! They got super busy as soon as I sad down and I'd say for the quick pick up service was good! My server was very sweet and attentive. I even noticed management stepping in and helping delivery and check on tables.

We walked in looking for a nice place to have lunch. Ended up finding a diamond in the rough! We were greeted and seated FAST. Attentive staff. Our server was very, very nice and made us feel very welcomed. Buuut, there was this guy...... see pics below!!!lol!My wife and I were taking a selfie when he came out and very seriously said that pictures weren't allowed, followed by a smile and "that's my job." We said great, and thanks. He went back a bit, had a seat, and seemed to be fiddling with our cell. I thought he was trying to figure it out. Joke was us!!! Anyway, the long, short of it is, the food was excellent, fresh and piping hot. And it was made outstanding by the managers and staff! And cooks!!!! Bravissimo!!!! Thank you, guys!!! Now, the rest of you, get to IL Forno NOW!!!!Parking: Many cars. Much parking. Haha!

As busy as it was, the staff was pleasant and congenial. Waited a little for our food,but being valentines they were extremely busy. Prices are reasonable. Even the owner was out and about. Great place.

two salad (one w chicken added) and two drinks for $43.30... no extra service/attention requested, no refills needed...than the weirdest thing happen, the server chased us down in the parking lot, if anything was wrong with food or service, as we have paid (plus a small tip), but she never got her at least the 18% tip ?this is the first i was ever asked/chased down in the parking why a sufficient tip is not given. my thought and still is, the tip is oprional, but not up to the point of chased/waved down by the server and questioned in the parking lot, why and where is my tip, technically.weird experience, but at least i know where not to go back, as although the food (salad) was ok, but demanding a tip for sure will not encourage more visit. disappointed with the restaurant.

Very nice restaurant. Staff is awesome; very helpful, knowledgeable, and friendly.Food is so delicious. Over the years we have tasted every item on the menu.It is not only the best Italian restaurant, it is THE best restaurant in Florida!!
The Sicilian pizza was amazing, and is great for leftovers too. We also got the lasagne, stuffed shells, white pizza, garlic knots, and mozzarella bread. All of it was delicious. Julie was on top of it and a great server! Will be back soon!

Everything was amazing, maybe a 20 minute wait on a Friday night. Staff was amazing, food was amazing and my husband (the pickiest person in the world to please when it comes to food) LOVED this place and even said he would go back. We live an hour away and are not locals, so that’s a big deal! We purchased chicken parmigiana, manicotti, and appetizer and I had a side Caesar salad with my food. Thank you for our dinner yesterday, it was to die for! You won’t regret dining here I promise!

Everything was amazing! I never thought I would say this but this is so much better than Olive Garden! The white sangria and cheese stuffed shells with Alfredo was delicious! The staff was so friendly and helpful! Absolutely recommend!
