   We arrived for a reservation..the food is delicious but the service is not the nicest..they forgot the cutlery, the extra plate..and still we eat our appetizer when they brought the main course to the table..we ate the dessert and when they brought the bill but we didn't ask for it yet..it was like our time had passed and the next one was coming..and there were several empty tables.

   Phenomenal fresh home cooked meals that taste amazing. Every meal was as good as the others. Such delicious meals that I wanted to try everything. Service was exceptional. Ambiance relaxing. Pricing very reasonable especially for the portion size and exceptional taste. A must try!

   Food: Amazing. From salads (beet + octopus) and main dishes (spaghetti tutti mare, lasagne and butternut ravioli) were excellent and plentiful. Service: Attentive, informative, no hovering and friendly - perfect. Love coming to Il Forno.

   The food is always great and a good value. Service is usually very good. Last night our server seemed preoccupied with another table and was slow and inattentive with our table. Overall our experience wasn’t up to our expectations and what we have come to expect at Il Forno.

   Not a great experience. Made reservation for 3, checked in on time, was seated at a table for 2 and then had to wait for table of 3 to open up. Hostess was scrambling and writing reservations down in notebook. Service was questionable. Water was initially poured in wine glasses (no water glasses on table). Ordered sparkling water so received new wine glasses for water. Two orders were incorrect and had to wait for them to be made. Bussing tables includeded taking silverware and then not replacing them. Was told incorrect orders would be taken off the bill but wasn’t.

    Il Forno continues to be the BEST authentic Italian restaurant in this area! The lasagna is worth every cent and literally melts in your mouth!! We also had the Chef’s Caprese Creation with arugula, which not only was gorgeous, but huge and yummy! The fantastic tasty focaccia order is again more than enough for 2 or even 3! The bottle of Prosecco was delightful and normally priced for area (there aren’t any house specials but you can order many choices by the glass). My one suggestion would be to offer a smaller salad as an option especially with an entree since all of the salads tend to again be large enough for 2! We were there earlier around 6:30 and the noise level just dandy but by the time we were leaving, it was filling to the brim and noise level had increased. Wait staff attentive and friendly and one of the Chefs even brought food out and later checked to see if we were enjoying the dinner. We discovered this gem when it had first opened and have remained fans ever since. It is now a sought after restaurant choice for good reason so make a reservation!
