Il Fornello is an excellent Italian restaurant known for serving high-quality and delicious food. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, with an industrial post-modern black-and-white high-class theme and an Italian flair that makes it feel family-oriented. The menu features tempting dishes like the Roma salad, chicken parmesan, insalata frutti di mare, chicken asiago, gnocchi, and the Osso Bucco, along with the eggplant parm appetizer and tiramisu. There are good veggie options and a separate vegan menu. Gluten-free pizza dough is also available, along with possible other gluten-free options.
Recent reviews highlight that the service is amazing, with a manager or owner who treats both guests and staff well. The waitstaff are professional, kind, and attentive, with great senses of humor. The atmosphere can feel more geared toward an older crowd, with mellow vibes and classical music playing softly in the background. The food is generally tasty, especially the pizza, which many customers enjoy, and the Caesar salad, which is fresh and flavorful. Some guests have found that dishes like chicken asiago can be undercooked, with rubbery skin. Prices are fair, although the removal of complimentary bread, now costing $4, has affected the overall value. Despite this, the restaurant remains a good spot for casual outings, special occasions, and celebrations, offering a relaxing vibe.
Service can sometimes seem rushed, especially during less busy times, but staff are friendly and attentive, working hard to ensure a pleasant experience. The table setup could be improved, as nothing is provided until the food arrives, not even bread or olives. Visitors have noted that the food arrives quickly with decent portion sizes, and the overall atmosphere remains inviting. Overall, Il Fornello continues to be recommended for its tasty dishes, friendly staff, and cozy ambiance.
