Really amazing customer service and excellent menuI don't believe that it's worth the price but I'd go back for a special occasion.

5 star for meMy parents are traditional italians and are very hard to please when eating Italian food; but they're always happy to dine here.

Il Fornello is conveniently located in the Abbey Centre. A spacious interior dining room features floor to ceiling windows overlooking a large outdoor patio. Th...

I've been to this Restaurant a few times. It's good food, a little over priced. The service has always been very good. Wish they would bring back the lunch buff...

Il Fornello offers a spacious interior, welcoming atmosphere, and consistently good food, although some find it a bit overpriced. While some reviews mentioned slow service and unfriendly hostesses, others raved about exceptional service, cozy ambiance, and delicious food, especially vegan options. The restaurant is accommodating to dietary needs and offers a good selection of dishes. Overall, it seems like a solid choice for a casual dining experience, with some mixed reviews on prices, service, and portion sizes. Whether for a quick meal or a more formal dinner, Il Fornello has something to offer for everyone.
