    We enjoyed IL FORNELLO. We’ve been a number of times both for supper and also takeout. Dan looked after us this time and he’s great. The food is really good.

    My friend and I hadn't seen one another in a while. The wait staff seemed to intuit this and subtlety took our order but kept an eye on us in case we wanted anything. The drinks, meal and dessert were excellent. Delicious! At 9:30pm, the waiter advised that they were closing, but were glad we enjoyed our time together. We settled our bill and left the restaurant totally pleased with the evening. We will return again for sure! 😊👌

    I have eaten at Il Fornello numerous times. The food and service is always great. I usually have a number of people & we are usually under time restraint but have never had a problem getting out on time. Highly recommended.
