It was my first time at this restaurant, and I was highly impressed. I almost felt like I walked into an elegant restaurant in Italy. This is definitely a place if you wanted to take a special someone to where you feel fancy but not way too fancy. And if you are a wine drinker, they have a smorgasbord of wine.

Very disappointed in the food & service here. Would not recommend or return. I ordered The Isabel pizza with prosciutto, goat cheese & arugula. I found absolutely no prosciutto on the pizza at all, the goat cheese was nearly non existent as well, with only a few crumbles. The pizza was covered in a thick layer of arugula, as if trying to hide the absence of other ingredients. This was honestly the worst pizza I have had in years, & I eat a lot of pizza. Other diners in my party were also disappointed in the food, mostly reporting it as bland & unappetizing.
Service was poor to say the least, but they do take the liberty of tipping themselves 20% automatically.
Great service and AWESOME food.

Absolutely amazing in person. It’s our favorite Friday night spot. Would be 5 stars but….. Don’t bother with takeout, door dash or uber eats. They have screwed up the order for my favorite dish (crab claws) 7 times outta 10. One time there was no seasoning added. Another, it was soooo lemony. The list continues. Never had a bad second with in-person dinning though. Wine selection is awesome although they don’t have 2 outta 3 wines in stock but no matter since it is a very extensive list. The service is wonderful. Wish I remembered our last 2 servers names. They were on top of everything and were funny at the right moment too. Always tip 40% with these guys. Their pastas & veal dishes are chefs kiss and my son loves the stuffed crab cakes. Highly recommend in-house dinning.

Very very poor. Overpriced and bad service. Manager in charge was rude and it was too pricy for what it was. Will not be coming back.

A Hidden Gem Worth Revisiting
Just had an incredible experience at this family-run restaurant. The food was absolutely amazing—fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. The owner was incredibly friendly and welcoming, and it was clear that many of the patrons were regulars who knew each other and the staff by name. That kind of atmosphere says a lot.
The space itself is cozy and romantic, with soft music playing in the background—perfect for a quiet dinner or date night. It’s rare to find a place that nails both the food and the vibe, but this one does. Highly recommend.

The taste of the food was good, and the service was too, but the presentation wasn’t particularly appealing. Overall, nothing outstanding.

My friend and I went to Fornos to get some dinner and catch up. While the food was decent, our experience was soured at the end. After looking at our checks we found out that they took it upon themselves to auto charge us both gratuity by over 20%! None of us even had a say in the matter. What’s worse is when we brought it up, he and the manager(?) dragged their feet to resolve the issue. At the end, they handed us two dollars each and said that's all they could do. I can understand auto gratuity for a party of six or more, a special birthday celebration, heck, even if we ordered a bottle of wine. But this situation for two people was ridiculous. I would encourage everyone to glance at their checks at the end. Needless to say we will not be back.
