    This place is absolutely amazing! Everything is Hand made, from scratch. My lovely bartender, Suzanne recommended starting with the house mad e potato chips and french onion dip! OH MOMMA! The chips were amazing! The dip was good, I personally felt it could use more onion. After appetizer, I had a black n blue burger, on the house focaccia. WOW! AMAZNG! The burger was tantalizingly juicy, medium rare with Bleu cheese and crumbled bacon,perfect accents, salty, creamy and omami rolled into one. THE FRIES!!?!! Also incredibly amazing, fried to perfection, pillowy and potatoey inside, but crisp on the outside, just the way we likey! While I dined, a young lady had the mussels and clams appetizer, a meal in itself, I made it a point to order that next time!

    We come here every now and then and normally we are very happy. The bread and dip Olive Oil was off, we ask and were told it was normal, they make it daily some times its alittle off. My husband had Chicken Risotto, I had Linguini with shrimp, muscles and clams. I enjoyed mine. My lemon drop was yummy. Randy's was not what he expected from them, it had a fowl after taste. We enjoy going but will nor order the

    The atmosphere is pretty loud in there. With the high ceilings it echos a bit. The food tasted fine but was over priced and I left hungry. There wasn’t much fish in my risotto that cost 30 dollars. But the flavor soooo good! I wish they would have offered a salad or soup with the meal. The bread with oil and vinegar is always a welcomed touch. It took forever for someone to take my order and to give the check. Probably at least 10 minutes to get my check after my table was cleared and my waitress had asked if we wanted dessert. The only reason I will go back is to try the Cioppino. I hope they can some how redeem themselves and I can add another star.

    I'm not kidding when I say this is the best meal I've had in a long time. Try everything. I was lucky to have gone with a group and shared plenty of appetizers and shared bites of entrees so trust me, there is not a bad food item on the whole menu! There is, of course, the dark lighting to contribute to the ambiance so be aware of that ahead of time. It wasn't like eating in the dark, but it was enough to notice and all my pictures came out strangely yellowish and "off". Staff had great knowledge of the menu and recommended plenty of options, and drinks were well crafted!

    Sat at bar. Service personnel was friendly and the drinks were promptly served. Unfortunately, everything went down hill after that. Waited over an hour and fifteen minutes for our entree that never arrived. Meanwhile the staff abandoned us and didn’t refill drinks or clean up our area. We won’t be back and this should a zero star review. In response to the restaurant owner we placed the order with the bartender for the appetizer, salad and entree at the same time….thank you for taking the time to respond

    As soon as we walked in we were greeted and taken to our seats. Right behind us was a waiter with water and some focaccia bread that was delicious! The waiters were prompt in refilling your ódienla while still allowing you to enjoy you meal. Ordered the Fettuccine con pollo and it was amazing. The food was out quickly after ordering.

    Dinner tonight there and had the meat lovers lasagna along with the spinach bacon salad. The bread alone was addicting. The lasagna was a very good portion and was very very flavorful. Loved the spinach salad for a starter. I highly recommend this excellent eatery.

    Drinks were amazing, my food was great but they screwed up the wife's order. So she sent it back. Prices were very high. For 1 person and 2 drinks a little over $50. NO Salad no soup included. Some kitchen guy brought out our food, our server never checked on us once, we had to ask someone else for our bill. I don't think I will be back.

    Super friendly attentive professional service, not chatty, just right. Fresh soft flavorful spaghetti and meatball, Always amazing pasta dishes. Don't recommend ordering any type of meat here whatsoever, only pasta dishes. Extensive wine list at all price points.

    Love this restaurant. They offer some very yummy Italian foods that make my belly happy. The service is wonderful too. Very attentive. It is a little pricey but I think we'll worth it.

    The service was ok. One bartender was very rude and judgemental. The other was awesome! The food was good. I had the Chicken Parmigiano. Good size portion of meat. Not much spaghetti with it.

    This restaurant is awesome. They have the the largest wine selection around. The food is phenomenal and the bread is unmatched. I go there when I'm craving that warm bread and basil oil mixture. They have been here forever and never fail to hit it out of the park. We love to attend their special secret dinners as well. Thank you guys....

    Update: we made a last minute decision to come here for dinner and again this place did not disappoint! The service was impeccable! Our drinks never got empty, the bread is soft and yummy. Our meals did not disappoint as well. Love this local place so much. Even after my first review 2 years ago this place is still amazing! The food is delicious!

    Amazing bread right off the bat, added a side of marinara, done right without the sour note that is at some restaurants. Both pastas had superb taste and mouth feel. Butternut Squash Ravioli had cranberries and pecans ,but remained on the savory side of things. Naughty pasta was decent amount of food for the price. Will return...

    When we walked into the restaurant we were promptly greeted and seated! Our waitress was Brook and she was amazing. My food was AMAZING and so was my wine. The gelato was awesome as well. The restaurant was really busy and the staff was on point to accommodate everyone.

    Food is a C+ or B- however, portions are generous. Prices are reasonable because of this. Heavy on pasta dishes. My wife's chicken breast was very moist and tasty. Limited gluten-free options (zucchini noodles instead of pasta available); risotto can be made veggie. Improving the quality of the sauces would lift them up considerably. Service is good. Seating a bit cramped in booths. Wine selection adequate. Nothing special, but no stinkers.

    Had a lovely experience going out to dinner with some new friends. The food was really good. We sat outside and it was fun. The staff is always on top of things and comes by periodically. They don't forget you. They are also very accommodating if you have dietary restrictions. They were able to give us more green beans when we were trying to avoid cheese that ended up coming on our plate in the form of polenta. I will say, the bread with the oil and balsamic was incredible! I was fortunate to take some home but quickly ran out. I will say that this place is worth the drive to!

    Nice atmosphere fitting a little Italian restaurant. Food was excellent, and we were sold on the bread alone. Got there when it opened and still had to wait a bit for our food. Not sure if it was what we ordered or the volume of to-go orders. Worth it regardless. Will be back.

    So we decided on a date night but weren’t sure where to go. Drive around and stumbled across Il Forno. Upon walking in, we felt a sense of comfort. It was a very homey feeling environment. The staff were friendly and attentive but weren’t afraid very chatty which was nice because we were enjoying our time enjoying the food and engaging in our own conversation. We had great is red wine which happened to be the cheaper of the Zins. The bread and dip they serve was perfect - we actually ordered more bread. The calamari was just okay but our entrees were delicious. I had the Naughty pasta and my husband had pasta with Pancetta. Both dishes were so good. We will definitely be coming back. It is so expensive to eat out these days but this was well worth the expense.
