    Had to call the server several times, passed by us several times and didn't refill our wine glasses. When we were ready to leave, we couldn't get his attention, I had to get up and request the bartender to take care of us.

    We have been going to Il Forno for a long time. We have always liked it, but the previous two times were a little below par. Last night, was probably the best we have ever had! Service was good, food and wine were 10 out of 10!

    Great Service. Food could not have been better! It’s not cheap but definitely worth every penny. I’ve gone to expensive local restaurants and didn’t always feel the food was up to par with pricing. I’m sure Gordon Ramsey would approve.

    We had a reservation for my birthday dinner so we were seated in a separate room with a door so it was quiet but it was also very hot with the door closed. Waiter was so kind, attentive. Food was delicious and perfect.

    A lot of new faces, especially within the wait staff. Maybe they are still in training, but our service was slow and inattentive. Food was mediocre, not the best I’ve had here, and arrived at the table cold. Best part about the meal was the espresso martini for dessert, thank you bartenders!

    Loved this place! We made a reservation for 6 pm. Perfect time. Good crowd but not crazy or loud. Calamari and fried mozzarella were delicious. Wine, excellent, and my steak and veggies yum!! Mashed potatoes not so great. Our server was the best. Will be going again soon.

    Great ambiance. Friendly waitstaff , lots of teamwork, didn’t have to wait for waitress if I needed something. Service was a little slow for me, bar drinks took a while but at the end it averaged pretty well. Being a party of four we ordered a variety of items, calamari was just calamari not too impressed, the clams were ok, now the pork chops were amazing, not dry cooked to perfection. The octopus top notch, soft and full of flavor. The osso bucco better than expected, tender great Demi paired perfect with mash potatoes, and salmon was also real good. We had a bottle of Austin hope, good wine service. Recommend the carajillo. It was the best I’ve ever had. Can’t go wrong w tiramisu and crème brûlée. Over all experience was very good, priced average for an Italian restaurant. I would definitely go back, and will try pizzas this go round. Give it a try, you will love it!

    The steak that I ordered was well seasoned but it was not well cooked. I ordered modicum rare and when I got it well done. The server took my steak and brought me a steak that was completely raw. I did not have the energy to complain and just had the smashed potatoes and veggies on the plate. I had to take my steak to go so I could cook my $40 steak properly at home. I had tried pizza, pasta, lamp, pork at il forno and it’s perfect. Do not order a steak there. It’s not their specialty
