" My experience at IL Fornello was delightful! Enjoyed a cozy dinner with friends. I tried the eggplant parmigiana and it was phenomenal! They really hit the mark with the flavors and freshness! The service was friendly, but there was a bit of a wait for our food to arrive, which I found slightly frustrating. The ambiance is lovely, perfect for catching up over great food. I encourage anyone to check it out for authentic tastes! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was excited to try IL Fornello, but it didn't quite meet my expectations. The food was decent but not as authentic as I had hoped. The pizza had a bit of a soggy crust, which hindered the overall experience. Throw in a mix of friendly service, but the long wait times added frustration to the dining experience. The atmosphere is charming, but I'd suggest addressing the food consistency for a better experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes for IL Fornello based on its reputation, but my experience was somewhat mixed. The food was generally good, especially the gnocchi which was delicious and had great texture, but the service left a bit to be desired. There seemed to be a delay in getting our orders, and we had to remind the staff about our drinks. The atmosphere was nice and cozy indeed, making it a suitable spot for lingering over dinner with friends. I might return for the food, but I hope the service improves next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a wonderful evening at IL Fornello! We celebrated a birthday with a large group, and the restaurant accommodated us perfectly. The food stole the show; we got a mix of dishes from the hearty lasagna to the lighter pasta primavera. Every bite was savored and loved! The service was attentive without being intrusive. The ambiance made it all the better – it felt celebratory yet comfortable. Definitely worth visiting if you're looking for great Italian food! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had dinner at IL Fornello yesterday and was impressed! The butternut squash ravioli was to die for—so creamy and flavorful. The service was satisfactory, but the only downside was the dessert. It looked beautiful but lacked flavor, which was a letdown after such a good main course. Nonetheless, my overall dining experience was enjoyable, and I would recommend this place to others! " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely loved IL Fornello! The moment we walked in, the vibe was fantastic. Our server was so helpful in guiding us through the menu options. The risotto was divine, full of rich flavors that took me straight to Italy! The portion sizes were generous and worth every penny. I will absolutely return soon to indulge again! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently tried IL Fornello and was really pleased! The food was flavorful, especially the funghi pizza, which was a real crowd-pleaser. It's a nice spot for both family gatherings and date nights. My only suggestion would be for the restaurant to take care of minor cleanliness issues visible around the floors. Otherwise, it was a lovely experience. " (*Curated Review*)
