Il Forno has been a favorite of my family for a number of years. The reasons are numerous but service and quality of food are the top reasons. It doesn't matter if there is a reservation or we are walking in we are always greeted warmly and seated immediately. The service is extraordinary. This time was no exception. Our server Jaymes was great. Very attentive, personable and professional. The food was incredible, my usual and favorite the carbonara was outstanding! Jaymes' table side demeanor was warm and congenial. This instance is yet another example of why we keep coming back.

About the restaurant
Alfonso Salazar, better known as “Dirty Al” originally started shrimping as a young man with his father and 6 brothers. In 2003, he and his youngest son, Cameron, who graduated from Culinary School, transformed his bait stand into a restaurant where together they have been known for having “The World’s Best Fried Shrimp”! In 2005, his other two sons returned home to help grow the business. To this day, they now own 7 restaurants on beautiful South Padre Island and across the valley and continue to bring only the “best” Gulf Seafood to each customer’s table.
