Service was way above average. Wine list exceptional- rare to find the level of selections available in single pour. I’ll return more frequently just for this reason. The only critique would be on their meatballs. Extremely dry, possibly little to no breadcrumbs and a little on the salty side. The Fett/Alfredo was slight gritty as if Parm not given enough time to emulsify with cream. Minor critiques but notable to me. Chef Cruz had returned .. a huge plus. Highly recommended.. all in all I’d given iL Forno 4.5!!!

We have enjoyed every time we come to the restaurant. The servers are always polite and check on you just enough. The food is good and they have a great wine selection. There are little choices when it comes to cocktail s. We will continue to eat here from time to time. Areas to grow, hostess can be more courteous as they are usually the first ones to greet you.

The appetizers were ANAZING!! We had the calamari and probably the best we’ve ever had. The fettuccine Alfredo was lacking in flavor… needed cheese. I had seafood linguine. The seafood was delicious but the pasta was extremely bland. Obviously chef was not Italian. Prices very reasonable but will probably order appetizers and pizza next time.

We went there for Valentine’s Day. When we first got there, our table wasn’t ready for our reservation, which was understandable. We waited outside for about 20 minutes before we got sat. For the price that I paid, the food was alright at best. It definitely was not worth the $175 they were charging. However my bill came out to $260 which didn’t make sense since we had only had a few drinks a piece. Definitely not $80 worth. Unfortunately, I didn’t glance at the receipt, I just tipped the 20% and signed it. That was my mistake. I got burned so lesson learned though.

For the Valentines Day reservation we were not impressed at all with the food. It was a tasting menu so we understand the small amount, but in no way was it worth 175$ The food was blah. We could’ve had a pleasant delicious meal at Prime, SALT, España…. Now we know

Website advertises happy hour deal for 2 or 3 course dinner options. Server said it wasn’t available because they didn’t have the necessary ingredients???? For pizza or lasagna? Yet I was able to order same items at regular price from menu?!

Disappointed with the lack of seafood options. Seems they prefer to cook mostly chicken dishes... Also, we went for Italian and were served 'spicy oil with our bread; not an option to have the typical garlic and herb oil. And the prices were very high for the skimpy portions... of CHICKEN... Visiting here from Houston left us wanting to return to TRUE Italian dining, which we did NOT get at Il Forno. VERY disappointed, sorry!
