Never a bad meal. Excellent cooks, excellent and friendly staff. A must try. Desserts are to die for.

We loved eating here. I had a specific craving for Nutella Pizza. We drove around to multiple restaurants until we found this restaurant. The waitress was wonderful! She made the nutella pizza fresh for us and it was one of the most delicious pizzas I've ever eaten. The bread basket was also fresh. This place is so cozy and familial I felt like I was invited to someone's home for dinner. I loved the experience and plan to go back again and again!

This place is great! Every time I go here the funghi pizza is cooked to absolute perfection. It's super nice paired with the alla marc salad too. I find myself craving these two way too often. The staff is always super kind and goes above and beyond (I believe it's family run). Only complaint is that it's a pricey so I can only have it once in a while. The hours to order for pickup/delivery on grubhub are also much more restricted compared to the times the restaurant is actually open. Still, 5/5, seriously a gem, please go you won't regret it!

Very good food and reasonable prices. Worth a visit if you're in the area.

Enjoy the food but the mussels are ok and the cheesecake is just bad it has no flavor and not even the strawberry sauce could accompany it and it should not be on the menu and it doesn't make their food look good, but I never liked tirramisu until I had theirs.

The food and service at Forno in Maspeth are excellent, the place is casual and laid back but the food is phenomenal. This is definitely one of those places that you can try each dish and truly be satisfied.

Is everyone else dining at the same place? To be fair, we liked this place a few years ago. We stopped coming because the man cooking the bread/pizza kept sticking his hand into his pants to adjust himself. We heard he wasn't here any more so we returned. Not a single dish on the table was good, and two were barely edible. Both pasta dishes were over-salted and the marinara was so sour/acidic, it almost seemed like it had gone off. Also, I'm all for being comfortable but the way the staff is dressed is ridiculous. I get that this is a family business, but it's not your back yard. All 3 of them were in gym clothes, and two we wearing shorts so short it felt like we were at Hooters. They are very nice, though. Nothing here was worth returning for. Oh it's also BYOB now.

I kept passing by this cozy little place for 6 years . I always wanted to try it out , specially after looking at the pictures of the different pizzas. Today my daughters wanted Italian ! What a great opportunity. The question was : are those photos for real or taken at Lombardi's ?! Well, they were real all right ! And I can walk there in my pajamas ! ( I might get taken to Creedmore but it's worth a try). Absolutely perfect! Than we had two heavenly pastas: Linguine Nere Frutti Di Mare and Rigatoni Alla Catanese and we were sold on the place ! Incredible friendliness and good humor , I wish I could complain about something, but there is nothing but praises. No ! I got a complaint: it set my dieting back by six months

Went here with a few girlfriends for a little reunion and we had such a good time. The food is so good! The calamari and tiramisu are absolute must haves! Will be back again. Neighborhood gem!

Neighborhood local place serving Pizza panini's and very delicious entrances. The Cavatelli Bolognese was good, but rather too salty.
Forno is a wonderful restaurant with consistently good food, warm and friendly staff, and a menu of selections that just hit the spot. My family has never been disappointed with our meal whether it's been a pasta dish, one of their thin crust pizzas or a number of rotating specials that pop up. A great neighborhood place that keeps us coming back.Quick note: Forno is BYOB, so don't forget the vino!

Had a bigger party with my family there, but they were very nice and accommodating. I ordered a Margherita pizza and I enjoyed it very much, good little restaurant I recommend

I love Forno I haven’t tried all the items in the menu but the a few things I have tried are delicious so far what I most like are the paninis.

THIS PLACE IS A GEM! If i could rate more stars I would! It is the best pizza and pasta I have had in NY. We are not from the State but when we come back for vacation we will definitely be back. The pizza crust was thin and perfectly crispy and the penne a la vodka with chicken was excellent. I have no complaints about this place. The service was impeccable and the wait staff was very friendly and well informed about their menu. When you are in town and you have the chance go visit Forno Pizzeria E Trattoria you will NOT be disappointed!!!

Have been enjoying Forno for several years. Food has been consistently amazing! Great, attentive and super friendly staff make lunch/dinner an enjoyable experience every time. Diane knows our favorites by heart; fried calamari with spicy marinara sauce; chef salad, fettuccine with mushrooms & truffle oil, YUM! That is if you have space after eating their piping hot bread, fresh from the oven. Their pizza is very good too! Finish off with the perfect cappuccino and delicious dessert! Very reasonably priced. Nothing fancy, staff are very accommodating and attentive. BYOB is a welcome option. We love this hidden gem!
