" I came here on a whim after hearing great things, but unfortunately, my experience was underwhelming. The server forgot my order, and after a long wait, I just received my meal - a slightly burnt pizza. It tasted fine, but it was nothing special. I'll give it two stars for the ambiance since it had a nice vibe, but overall, I was disappointed. " (*Curated Review*)

" Forno Osteria + Bar is a dining experience delight! The attention to detail in each dish shines through. My favorites were the gnocchi and the tiramisu; both were exquisite! It had the perfect balance between classic and modern Italian. The staff was helpful and made great recommendations. I am definitely coming back for more. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was so looking forward to dining here, but I must say, I was let down. The atmosphere was great, but the food was lackluster. The calamari appetizer was bland, and my pasta lacked authenticity. The service was decent, but I felt rushed all night. I’m not one to write bad reviews, but I wouldn’t recommend the place based on my experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" I tried Forno Osteria for the first time last week, and I was impressed! The food was fresh and everything about the experience felt authentic. My tagliatelle bolognese had robust flavors, and the tiramisu was excellent. The staff was pleasant, even insightful about wine pairings! I will be returning with friends soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had an average experience. The food was decent but not mind-blowing. I think I expected a bit more given the hype around this place. I had the bolognese and it was good but lacked a wow factor. The ambiance was nice and cozy, but I felt the prices were a bit high for what was served. Not bad, but not great either. " (*Curated Review*)

" One of the best dining experiences I’ve had in a while! The risotto with mushrooms was heavenly, and the staff made me feel right at home. The restaurant has a cozy yet upscale vibe. I will definitely be telling friends about this place and returning myself. Highly recommended for a date night or special occasion! " (*Curated Review*)

" Wow! The meal was unforgettable! We had the seafood pasta, and it's the best I've had in a long time. Super fresh and cooked to order. The ambiance is vibrant yet cozy; I absolutely loved sitting by the window. The staff provided top-notch service, ensuring we had everything we needed without being intrusive. I left feeling satisfied and looking forward to my next visit. " (*Curated Review*)
