“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.“

“My wife and I visited Chef T's for dinner last weekend and had a nice experience. We started the meal with the French Onion Soup. The soup was rich and flavorful, filled with savory soaked bread and topped with melted Swiss and Provolone cheeses. We also shared the Escargot appetizer. The escargots were tender and juicy and soaked in a rich white wine and sherry sauce and topped with tender earthy mushrooms. For my entrée, I had the Veal Marsala. The veal was tender with a light savory breading and topped with a rich earthy marsala sauce. To end the meal we couldn't resist the Limoncello Cake which was moist, had a nice lemony flavor and was topped with an airy whipped topping. Overall, Chef T's is worth a visit in Lakeland. The restaurant is very small so I recommend making a reservation in advance.“

“Great pizza and service every time!!! Pizza is so good that I freeze the leftover slices and heat them up later in a small confection oven for fresh baked taste! My granddaughter stops by just to heat up a slice for a quick lunch! My go to is the white garlic pizza with chicken, spinach, onions, peppers and mushrooms. I keep a plain pepperoni pizza on hand for the great grands. They have nice quick grabs like dessert and salads also. Love the atmosphere too.“
