Fornino is a restaurant that offers many vegetarian options, including pizza, vegetable appetizers, salads, and sandwiches. They also accommodate dietary restrictions with gluten-free pizzas, bread, and croutons. The restaurant has a welcoming atmosphere and it's fun to watch the pizzas being made in the wood-fired oven.
The artichoke appetizer is a delight with its creamy, buttery, chili center and delicious dipping sauce, but the artichoke itself has little edible meat. The Brocolini with hazelnuts is excellent, with a perfect, crispy yet fresh texture and surprising bursts of flavor. The salad special is fresh and light. The pizza is highly recommended, with one reviewer calling it the best they've ever had and another comparing it to pizza in Italy. The fennel sausage is a must-try.
The hibiscus, strawberry ice tea is a refreshing drink, served unsweetened with a simple syrup for personal preference. The tiramisu is a delicious dessert, perfect for sharing. The staff is friendly and the service is quick. During summer, there is a backyard/garden available to dine outside. The restaurant has a rich history and is a great place for a casual sit-down meal with family or friends.
