“ IL Fornello got it right! They have a dedicated vegan menu for Italian food lovers. Amazing and delicious. I've had three of their entrees over time, and they've all been delicious. Their vegan Ceasar salad is the best! And I always leave room for their vegan dessert. It's light, fluffy and yummy I highly recommend this restaurant. ”
“ Came here for Father’s Day dinner over the weekend and had an amazing experience! Some restaurants in the area don’t take reservations on weekends, so we were happy to be able to do so here. Our party of 8 ordered the grilled calamari appetizer and an assortment of pizzas & pastas to share. Not only did everything arrive within 10 minutes of ordering, but every dish was also delicious. The seafood was fresh and the flavours were mouth-watering. The cherry on top was our super-attentive server, Guy — friendly, efficient, and knew our needs before we voiced them. We all left with happy bellies and smiles on our faces. Would definitely recommend and visit again! ”
“ All the food items were all pretty good to be very honest. The service was very friendly and topnotch. The calamari fritti is the most unexpectedly wonderful dish I guess! ”
“ Our server was excellent and very attentive to detail. The food was exceptional as well. We ordered the calamari, rigatoni, gorgonzola salad, and prosciutto pizza. Unlike a lot of restaurant pizzas I’ve had, they did not burn the crust. ”
“ Food and service are great, not crowded Sunday lunch ”
“ Overall, this is an excellent Italian restaurant with high-quality and delicious food. The service was good but a little spotty—our waiter forgot one salad order and served one dish to another person, but he quickly rectified the errors. (To be fair, we were a large group on a Saturday night, and the place was packed.) I ordered the Roma salad and chicken parmesan - both were delicious. Others ordered the Caesar salad, which was also excellent. The decor is wonderful—an industrial post-modern black-and-white high-class theme with an Italian flair. ”
“ Came here for a late lunch. The restaurant was very quiet, only a couple other patrons spread around. Our server was attentive, filling the waters, checking in on our meals, fresh ground pepper, etc. Offers gluten free pizza dough, possible other GF options available. Chicken Parm is easily one of the best in the city. You can taste the layers of flavour put into the chicken, breading, freshly panfried. Served with a good portion of linguine with red sauce. ”
“ The exquisite flavors danced on my palate with every bite. Impeccable service enhanced the already delightful dining experience. From the moment we arrived, we were treated with the utmost care and attention. Every detail, from the presentation to the ambiance, was simply perfect. It was truly a memorable evening of culinary excellence. ”
