It’s a lovely looking restaurant, and the staff was friendly and the food was good. Might not have been the right choice for after theater dining. There was this incredibly loud music, I’m not sure if it was coming from above or next-door, I don’t know if it was a band or a DJ, but it absolutely dominated the vibe in the restaurant. To be inside the restaurant, it definitely has an Italian look and decoration. It’s absolutely quaint. But unfortunately, the music at that was too much to enjoy it.

Delicious food: warm tender bread, beet salad had the best tasting arugula and tangy dressing ( just right not over-dressed), Fusilli w/ricotta and braised beef sauce was rich and tasty. Our server was delightful, attentive, and respectful. Thank you Il Forno! We’ll be back!
