" Great place for family dinners! The children loved the pizza, and I enjoyed the spaghetti Bolognese. The atmosphere is nice and clean, with friendly staff. I find their prices reasonable given the quality of the food. We will definitely visit again—just remember to make reservations because it does get filled up quickly! " (*Curated Review*)

" Just okay. Visited expecting a lot since I've heard great things, but the food didn't quite match the hype. The pizza was doughy and the ingredients didn’t taste fresh. While the atmosphere was nice and the service sufficient, I can't get over the fact that the food didn’t impress. The bread served before the meal was very nice, though. I might come back, but only to try something different! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a pretty mixed experience at Il Forno Classico. On one hand, the food was very good, especially the calamari which was fresh and tasty. However, I found the main course to be somewhat pricey for what it was. My pasta was a bit under-seasoned, and while the portion was generous, it just didn't pop with flavor as I expected. The service was good, but not overly attentive - it took a while for someone to check on us. I'd give it another chance, but I hope the flavors are stronger next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Took my parents out for dinner last week and it was such a lovely evening! Everything we ordered was splendidly delicious. I had the gnocchi with tomato sauce and it was the best I've ever had. We also had a selection of desserts that rounded off the meal perfectly. The service was attentive, although I wished they offered a bit of guidance on wine pairing. Overall, we had a great time and I’m looking forward to visiting again soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" I wasn't too impressed with my visit to Il Forno Classico. My pasta was average and I found myself wishing I had ordered something else. The service was attentive, but I didn't feel a sense of warmth that I was expecting from an Italian restaurant. I think it might have just been an off day for them. The ambiance was okay, just a bit noisy for my taste. I want to give it another try, but I hope to experience a better meal next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Overall, a great dining experience! The food was rich and flavorful, which made every bite a delight. I was impressed by the range of options available; it made choosing quite difficult! Our waiter was helpful in guiding us to some of the best choices. The only downside was that it was pretty crowded, making it a bit loud to have a conversation at times. Still, I will definitely return. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently visited Il Forno Classico and while I didn’t think it was bad, I do feel it’s overrated. I enjoyed the wine selection, but my pasta was not fresh. It tasted a little bland. Service was decent, although my waitress seemed overwhelmed. I felt like there are better Italian restaurants out there, but this one was just fine for a casual dinner. " (*Curated Review*)
