Il Forno is a cozy, family-friendly restaurant that provides a relaxed dining experience with a focus on simple, homestyle cooking. The menu features favorites like bruschetta, bread, filet mignon with balsamic, veal marsala, and homemade bolognese pasta. The service is noted as nice, but there have been some recent concerns, like a refusal to take certain credit card payments. The restaurant is located in a shopping center with easy parking, making it convenient for visitors.
A recent experience highlighted the staff's professionalism and empathy when they assisted a guest in searching for a lost item after closing time. The employees actively helped, demonstrating genuine concern for their guests. Although the item was not found, their willingness to stay late and help left a lasting impression.
Additionally, the food itself has been described as excellent, featuring well-prepared dishes and a well-chosen wine list. Overall, Il Forno remains a great choice for those who appreciate an unpretentious, welcoming atmosphere, comforting flavors, and a team that truly cares about its guests.
