    My friend and I had a great time here. We were in Bmore for Deon Cole show and wanted to have dinner before. I made a rsvp here which I highly recommend on weekends. All staffs are very friendly. Great food. Try their pizzas! Wine selection is good, take advantage of their half off bottles on Saturday night. It’s right in front of Hippodrome theatre, so convenient! Will definitely come back here! We had pizza, meatballs, and mussels with a bottle of wine total came up to 67$.

    I stopped by for dinner my second night staying in Baltimore. They have a small, but decent menu. I ordered the brussel spout appetizer and it was absolutely delicious. I could have just ate that for both appetizer and main course it was so good. For my main course I opted for the "Fish of the Day" which was the Sicilian Grilled Tuna and that was pretty good. The server was friendly, but service was a tad slow because they were busy. The restaurant itself has a great ambiance and was clean. I would definitely dine here again the next time I am in the area.

    Had a great time here during happy hour. Their pizzas and cider were amazing! The server and hostess were super kind and the entire vibe of the restaurant was great. Love the happy hour prices!

    Went spur of the moment on Saturday and this place was lovely (enjoyed the rustic aesthetic)! Our server was attentive and made fantastic recommendations. We had smoked gnocchi and the pollo al pesto pizza. Would also definitely recommend the mango cart beer!

    Forno is a lively, fun evening out or pre-theater date! Known for excellent non-traditional pizza, their salads, homemade pasta and apps are scratch-made, farm to table fresh and really tasty! Unbelievable prices for the quality of food. Wait staff are team workers with the right amount of presence... They know the menu...and most things can be mixed up to suit your tastes, allergies or desires!

    Service was nice and food was good. We preferred the pizza over the pasta when comparing what you get for the price. We especially loved the half off bottles of wine on Saturdays.

    Great experience, first time in Baltimore for an O's game and this place went above and beyond. First the food was great and the cocktails were top notch. Second the service was incredible our server Max really went above and beyond, he was especially helpful with informing us as to the best places to park for the game.

    Fun experience! I went here for my 21st birthday, and I really enjoyed it. The customer service was really nice, and the waiter was so funny too! The seafood here was really tasty and my sister loved it! Will come back here if I have a second chance!

    Very disappointing. Went with three friends and what we ordered the restaurant ran out at 630pm. Service was slow and the food was underwhelming. I ordered bean hummus and it came with three small strips of bread. Had to ask a couple of times in order to receive more bread. No-one complained about the drinks, they were small but tasty.

    Stopped by for a takeout pizza dinner and got the Prosciutto and Fig Pizza, along with their housemade Focaccia bread. I didn't think it was extraordinary, if I'm being honest, but it was good. I also think I drove up my own expectations about the house made bread, as it was fairly unexciting upon unwrapping it: a couple small slices of semi-soft white bread. If I'm missing something about what good bread is all about, please forgive me. The pizza was good, but I don't think I'll be going back regularly for it. Mine, at least, was a tad over baked, I thought, but what do I know of culinary artistry? It's entirely possible that I lack the taste buds for the Forno style. Partly the reason for being underwhelmed is for its price-to-quality ratio, but partly because the restaurant keeps specific hours throughout the week. I think they get good business from the venues nearby and are able to tailor their hours and presentation to the Hippodrome crowd. Anyway, the food was good, not awesome. Some would probably disagree and think it's fantastic. I wasn't blown away by it. Overall, I spent a little over $22 for my order. 3/5 stars from me.

    One of the worst feeding experiences I have had. I say “feeding” because it can’t be considered “dining”. I can tolerate apps for menu viewing and even ordering, but theirs is laborious and tedious. I ordered a Cesar salad which arrived in about 90 seconds and then waited nearly 20 minutes for the glass of wine. The waitstaff was harried and all but threw the plate onto the table and rushed away, never to be seen again. The salad consisted of a sorry matt of limp lettuce doused in tasteless, watery dressing, dotted with chunks of anchovy and boulders of stale bread that were too big to eat whole and too tough to cut. The bright side is there is a cheerful, friendly and delicious Afghan spot right around the corner that I do highly recommend 🙂.

    The pizza was good, nothing special locally, but good. They seem very challenged with staffing but very helpful and nice. It was suggested we double or drink order and it was a good choice. The online ordering with a group was a bit challenging. We were there for a show at the Hippodrome, not that packed. The bread service is good as well. I look forward to trying it again and trying some entrees.

    Great food. Enjoyed my pasta, ordered a small, which was plenty for me. It was light and flavorful. My other half ordered one of the pizzas which was delicious, the garlic was subtle and the jalapenos added a nice bite. The place was beautiful and clean. Our waiter was friendly, and the food was served quick. Prices are decent, the menu is on the smaller side.

    I’ve been wanting to try this place for a while and we finally got a chance to. It was nice and warm inside the restaurant. We sat at the bar. It was not packed at all from 5:20-6:15 but the ambiance, decor and staff were very nice. I was excited about the food and happy hour. We ordered sangria, bubbly rosè and rail drinks along with half-priced apps: meatballs (extremely salty), fingerling potatoes (incredibly tasty), and fried pork belly (it was fine). We then got the carne pizza. It just wasn’t good. There was absolutely no flavor. That’s why the rating was so low, maybe we didn’t order any of the right stuff, but if you mess up pizza it just makes me not want to try again. I don’t know I had high hopes for this one so maybe that’s where the harshness stems from but again I just think the food needs to be better at the end of the day. Final rating 3.72/5 (2 points for the bubbly).

    My partner and I enjoyed a meal here on Friday.  However, due to the fact that the server rushed us at the end, I was not able to fully enjoy our kid-free dinner date. The check was brought to us soon as dessert was dropped off. Upon bringing the check, the server stood over us waiting for us to pay, despite the fact that neither we nor the desert had been finished
