Il Forno Restaurant and Catering

The food is overpriced. The portion sizes are small and the quality is terrible. Please don't waste your money here.

We had a fantastic experience at this Italian restaurant! From the moment we walked in, we were warmly welcomed and treated with great care. The service was outstanding — the staff were kind, attentive, and genuinely made us feel comfortable and appreciated throughout the entire meal.

The food was absolutely delicious! Every dish was beautifully presented, full of flavor, and clearly made with fresh, high-quality ingredients. You can tell they put a lot of love and effort into their cooking.

We were honestly surprised to see some negative reviews online, because our experience was nothing short of excellent. We’ll definitely be coming back and highly recommend it to anyone looking for authentic Italian cuisine and top-notch service. Kudos to the whole team!

Excellent place, super friendly and food is amazing. Definitely I will be back.

Once they are on July 3, 2025 the service was wonderful but the sauce on the manicotti’s tasted terrible and the manicotti’s on the ends were well done disappointed in the sauce and will never go there again

The food was delicious as usual! Great service, and I always enjoyed the time spent there

Food is on the pricey side, although it is pretty tasty. Trivia night is Wednesday. That's what keeps us coming back.

Excellent Italian restaurant

I ordered chicken marsala and it was awful! The sauce was very thick and tasted terrible. The chicken was pilled high on a hugh mountain if linguini and loaded with thick brown sauce, unlike any marsala I have ever had. I was there with a couple if ex coworkers and did not want to complain. I took most if it home. I will rinse the chicken off and attempt to eat it. And I am not a picky eater. I might call the restaurant on Monday. I was just there yesterday, on a Saturday.

Went for Easter brunch, the line was out the door, no direction from anyone, people cut and it was chaos. Finally got sat, in 4 top with 5 people. Had no silverware, took 10 minutes to get a drink, food was well below average, and there was like 4 pieces of dessert bites on a tray. Would never go back after that.

Great food and great service!

Nice place but bring your wallet full of cash. Ordered two veal dishes and the bill was $73.00 with no tip. Add the tip that's $87.00.
No drinks just water.

Went for the first time with my family, a group of 9 for my birthday. Three of us ordered Passion fruit mojito’s from their drink menu. The drinks had no flavor and tasted like soda. The waitress was understanding and questioned bar & they told her they had ran out of Passion fruit. Two drinks were replaced with margaritas at their request. One was brought mango flavor syrup to replace the passion fruit. It was ok. I requested seafood Alfredo. Waitress specifically asked me what kind of seafood I would like & wrote order down. Once the food came , for one, my Alfredo did not taste like Alfredo and had no taste at all & had different seafood than requested. I verified with waitress my order which she took down correctly. She said she could have a new one made but at this point my family all had their food. I didn’t want to wait as our reservation was for 7 and it was getting late. I moved the seafood to the side and tried to eat but it wasn’t appealing or have any flavor. They gave us a $10 discount for the wrong food. Took off a couple of the drinks that weren’t made properly and the waitress put $20 of her own cash towards our $500+ bill. She apologized for everything multiple times. Sad to say neither my family nor I feel we would go back.

Just came from El Forno. Lunenburg had a pepperoni and pepper pizza. It was by far the best pizza I have ever had since the old days at the European in the northend. Great job Michael and crew always.
