" This place is everything! An amazing selection of vegan options, and the food is on point! I tried the vegan lasagna and it was rich and flavorful, just like the dairy version. My friend enjoyed the vegan pizza, saying it was surprisingly good. The staff was super attentive, making our experience even better. Definitely a must-visit if you love plant-based Italian food! " (*Curated Review*)

" On recent visits, the food has generally been pretty good, albeit the service can be hit or miss. During a busy dinner shift, I found that our server was quite stretched, and it took longer than anticipated for food to arrive. Still, the flavors were authentic and comforting, especially the gnocchi. Will likely return but I'll be prepared for a wait next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" We stopped by for a quick dinner before catching a show. Everything tasted fresh and satisfying. I loved the calamari as an appetizer - crispy and well-seasoned. I also an order of mushroom pizza, which was surprisingly good. The service was decent considering the influx of patrons. We will return for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a pleasant lunch here recently. The food was fresh, and I enjoyed the gnocchi with a tomato cream sauce, which was delightful! The staff was friendly but seemed overwhelmed during lunch. The overall ambiance was relaxing, making it a perfect dining spot. I’ll definitely recommend it to my friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing rave reviews, I finally visited Il Fornello and it exceeded my expectations! The ambiance felt like true Italy; the decor was authentic and charming. I had the eggplant parmesan, and it was divine. The portion sizes were just right; not too big or too small. The only downside was that the server was a bit overwhelmed, but their demeanor was still warm and welcoming. " (*Curated Review*)

" I brought my partner here for a romantic dinner, and we loved every moment! The atmosphere was candlelit and intimate, making it perfect for our date night. We ordered the risotto and tiramisu, both were delightful. Our server provided excellent recommendations and made the evening special. Can't recommend this place enough for couples! " (*Curated Review*)

" I came to celebrate my birthday with a group of friends, and the night was nothing short of spectacular! The restaurant was quite busy, but the staff managed to keep everything organized. I ordered the spicy sausage pasta, which was rich in flavor, and for dessert, we had the tiramisu. Hands down, it was the best tiramisu I've had in a while! I will definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a great Italian experience. " (*Curated Review*)
