" Forno Osteria + Bar was recommended by a friend and it lived up to the hype! Everything we ordered was delicious. The gnocchi was pillowy, and the sauce had a richness that soothed the soul. The ambiance was warm and inviting; a perfect dinner spot! Can't wait to go back and try more of their authentic Italian dishes! " (*Curated Review*)

" I love this restaurant! The special pasta of the day was a wild boar ragu, and it was out of this world. Rich flavors, perfectly al dente pasta. The ambiance was very inviting as well. The staff was friendly and made dining alone feel super comfortable. Definitely planning to return soon to try more of the menu items. A top choice for Italian in the area! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a lovely dinner at Forno! I ordered the short rib as others said it was a hit and they didn't lie. It was melt-in-your-mouth tender and so flavorful. The atmosphere made it a great place for a Friday night, lively yet cozy. I'm disappointed I didn’t save room for dessert. Will definitely come back - but maybe on an empty stomach! " (*Curated Review*)

" We had my sister's birthday dinner at Forno and it was a fantastic decision! The atmosphere was festive, and the service staff went above and beyond to make our night special. We shared several appetizers: the bruschetta was divine, especially the one with goat cheese. For my main course, I had the short rib, which was tender and flavorful, paired nicely with polenta. Dessert was tiramisu, which took me back to Italy. A beautiful night overall. " (*Curated Review*)

" We celebrated a family reunion here and had an excellent time! The staff was fantastic, and they even accommodated a last-minute change in our reservation. We had the seafood risotto and it was truly delicious! The flavors were vibrant, and each bite was a pleasure. The place was buzzing with a lively atmosphere, making it perfect for our gathering. Definitely recommend! " (*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*)
