    My friend and I hadn't seen one another in a while. The wait staff seemed to intuit this and subtlety took our order but kept an eye on us in case we wanted anything. The drinks, meal and dessert were excellent. Delicious! At 9:30pm, the waiter advised that they were closing, but were glad we enjoyed our time together. We settled our bill and left the restaurant totally pleased with the evening. We will return again for sure! 😊👌

    I have eaten at Il Fornello numerous times. The food and service is always great. I usually have a number of people & we are usually under time restraint but have never had a problem getting out on time. Highly recommended.

    We ordered the calamari, meatballs, and asparagus/prosciutto appetizers during happy hour. The meatballs were dry, tasteless with no flavour. The calamari was cold and rubbery. I will not order again and will likely not go to that location again. It was my first time and I was disappointed in the food. The server was kind so no complaints there. Our Hugo spritzer were excellent so it wasn’t a complete let down.
