Hands down the best Italian food in Nashville and possibly some of the best in the U.S. so far. On par with or better than Italian food in Boston. Having just returned from 2 weeks in Italy, I can honestly say this is authentic Italian! Every dish was amazing, especially the pasta.

Great food, even with reservations, you wait. Parking is a nightmare, service was slow, 15 min to get water, 20 to get a drink

Service was excellent. Drinks were amazing. Food flavor was good, but everything was lukewarm warm— it came out really quickly, so just undercooked pizza, relied on hot sauce to heat meatballs ( it didn’t).

Morgan was a fabulous host. Our lunch arrival was table service perfection with every dish: insalate Mondragone, St. Gabriele, panna cotta, tiramisu excellently delicious. IL Forno is tucked in a quiet nook. A hidden gem. Parking limited with other establishments having to share. Entry a little tricky, but worth the zig-zags. HIghly recommend.

Fresh pasta made on site incorporated into a series of dishes, but falls short with the shells still on the shrimp, and the pasta is served more al dente than we would like. Tje focaccia is just their pizza crust. The service is excellent. The atmosphere is bright and minimalist. There is a full bar and a short but diverse wine list. The Carpaccio is uniquely served with greens, and the desserts are delicious
