Great new option for Eagleville and College Grove area. Owners really updated the location and the place is very cute. Food was good but missing my husband’s favorites of lasagna, baked ziti with meat, or really any meat sauce. That said, the garlic knots, spaghetti with meatballs and ravioli were good. Service was super attentive but the kitchen was very slow. Maybe 40 min to get served. I am assuming that the restaurant suffers from the staffing shortage that plagues everyone right now. Overall, definitely recommend and we will going regularly.

I adored this place. The people, the environment, the music, etc. Everything was a chefs kiss. My only con would be our server did not check/communicate with us other than to get our order and then dip out. He did not make much of an effort, but the hostess was AMAZING! She deserves a raise:)

We had a reservation for 7:15. (Il Forno requires you to put a credit card on hold and has a 48 hour cancellation policy). When we arrived (a few moments early) we knew it would be a wait as there were no open tables and another large group waiting to be seated. Fine, this stuff happens. But, 30 minutes later, we still didn't have a table. We were with a large group, including grandparents, which made it even worse. The hostess was lovely and apologized - and also said she'd send foccacia to our table once we were seated- on the house. Unfortunately, that never happened. We actually ordered it ourselves later - and it showed up on the bill. (they later comped it, to their credit). The service was good, the food was good (not outstanding), but they need to get the kinks worked out with their reservation system. People should not have to wait 30+ minutes past their reservation time. That's the whole point in having a reservation. It's a fun, vibrant place - kind of in the middle of nowhere, though. It definitely has potential. Maybe try to go on a non-weekend night?

We had a delightful meal, once we found the restaurant. GPS takes you behind the building and there are literally no signs to let you know you are in the right place. I liked the modern rustic ambience and loved my bucatini. The others in my party split pizzas and they were all happy as well. Our server was very sweet and fairly attentive, although he did forget to put our appetizer in. We realized it when he started bringing our entrees out so we decided to skip it. If he had offered to bring it anyway, but free of charge, this would have been 5 stars.

Arrived at restaurant at exact time of reservation. Was seated and no server ever came to the table for over 25 minutes when my dining partner went to the bar to request attention and place drink orders. Bartender served us and was excellent and attentive, but the almost 30-minute failure to attend upends the entire experience. The gentleman who seated us walked around the restaurant visiting tables but never noticed (I guess) that we had had no service. The staff seems to have no awareness of its patrons. Sadly, such Aa terrible service experience overwhelms the excellent tastes the kitchen produces. Amazing food.

Very nice restaurant with very nice staff. But that’s where our experience ended. Seated 20 min after our reservation time, pizza order was misplaced but nobody took notice our food was late until we asked. Then when food was hastily prepared it was undercooked. Overall no teamwork, bad service and food, lots of potential.

Loved this place. If the acoustics were better it would have been 5 stars. You can't hear anything because it's just a big open warehouse with nothing to help buffer the sound. They also have band that plays which is great, but it only adds to the audio clutter.

The food was both authentic and well-prepared. Service was excellent. They were out of the meatballs and Tiramisu the evening we dined there, so that's the only reason why this is 4 out 5 stars.

This place is fabulous! The fresella is my favorite. I love burrata! It's perfectly crispy in places and soft in others. The pizza was demolished by my husband. They had a combo band last time we were there. Very good choice of music to cover all ages.

The host made us aware that they were short staffed that night, so service did take a little longer than normal. Other than that, the food was delicious and good portions. Drinks were made well. I would definitely go back.

We enjoyed our meal immensely. The food was amazing and our waiter (I believe his name was Scott) was very happy, funny, and attentive. The truffle sausage rigatoni is to die for. I do have an issue with their reservation policy. You get charged if you done make your reservation. Fair enough when a restaurant is busy. However it is also required to cancel 48 hours in advance. We went on a slow Sunday night. I was so angry when we walked in and there was ONE OTHER TABLE in the entire restaurant. They are really hurting themselves with that policy. I hate those policies because sometimes things just come up. I always cancel my reservations but goodness 48 hours?? It really put a bad taste in my mouth right before the meal.
