I was really disappointed with my experience. When I asked if the meatballs were frozen, the answer was yes. Then I learned the fish was frozen too—so I went with the chicken parm. Big mistake. It was clearly frozen as well, the cheese wasn’t even melted, and the whole dish lacked flavor. It tasted like someone dumped canned sauce on overcooked pasta and called it Italian. Definitely not worth it.

Poor service, bland food, too expensive for the average food.
At least it's clean and the drinks were cold.

My friends and I are always looking for new places to eat as we have lunch or dinner together regularly.
This place was clean, staff were dressed appropriately and neat, and the pasta was cooked well

My daughter and I had lunch on Sunday. I enjoyed a perfect burger ! And , she had the cilantro chicken sandwich and truffle fries. All delicious !! The bread and dipping oil to start were perfect. It was our first time in and won’t be our last. Eager to try more menu items in the future. We are so glad to have Il Forno in Ashland !

We had an amazing first experience at Il Forno! We had 7:00 reservations on a Saturday and they were on time with our table… a feat that is hard to accomplish! We had fresh bread, Bada Bing oysters and Mahi tuna appetizers, house and Caesar salads and bowls of the lobster and crab bisque… so fresh and delicious! We will be back! Another reason why I love Ashland, The Center of the Universe.

The meal was so so good and I really appreciate Jessica for being so sweet to my 3 year old. She was so accommodating and made sure she had everything she wanted to I could get a good meal in. THATS good service right there! The live entertainment was a plus too. Can’t wait to go back. You guys are great!

Just wrapped up an open house in Ashland, and I have to say—I’m absolutely in love with this town! The people here are some of the friendliest I’ve ever met, and the community vibe is amazing.
To top it off, I stopped by Il Forno Restaurant for some delicious food and drinks, and it was such a great experience. Our server, Nestor Torres, was incredibly attentive and kind—one of the nicest people!
Ashland, you’ve won me over. I’ll definitely be back! 😊

The presentation of the Mediterranean Shrimp Salad was beautiful, and it was delicious. The scallops in the Shrimp & Scallop Risotto were perfect, and the entire dish was fantastic. Visiting from PA and very happy we decided to stop.

I ordered the calimari for my app and the salmon for dinner. Both were amazing. And the brussel sprouts are second to none. The staff was wonderful - such a nice atmosphere. Amber was great! Will definitely come back again. This place is top notch!

I’m so sad. I didn’t even get to try the food when I asked the bartender what type of red wine they had he shoved a menu at me that was way too small to read. He didn’t know what kind of red wines they had.The hostess look like she was very grumpy and did not want to be there. It’s really sad. I was just trying to go out for a date night. Looks like the delicious Mexican restaurant across the street. Will get my money again.
