    The food was delicious. The staff was extremely solicitous. It was just a little warm and sometimes loud (the tables are close together). But overall we enjoyed it!

    I am a local resident of Hell's Kitchen. I have been to Il Forno several times and always recommend our guests to visit Il Forno. The food is always good however, the service was a little off the night we decided to go. Overall, it is a nice place to have a meal.

    We like Il Forno for a quick bite before the theater. It's good Italian comfort food. The pasta is not overcooked. Service is very good.

    The loud music made conversation difficult, but the food was excellent and Omar was a great server. Avoid steak but go do anything Italian on the menu.

    We selected this restaurant based upon its proximity to our theater visit. The food was good but service was very slow.
