Il Forno Caffe & Pizzeria

This is one of my favs. I'm not much of a pasta eater, I go for their chicken and fish entrees. The flavor is always excellent and I love the amount of veges they serve with their entrees. So many restaurants give you a potato and think thats a healthy vege, they serve a variety here. Prices are reasonable for the quality.

PROS: a warm neighborhood find!
CONS: slightly noisy

I have gone to Il Forno Caffe several times and have never been disappointed by the food. The host/hostesses are always warm and welcoming. the food is Northern Italian and it is a relatively casual environment. It is in a local strip mall (but a nice one with plants/greenery) You can sit outside on the patio or you can opt to eat inside.

We have tried their salads and they are fantastic,. as well as their authentic pizza (per my Italian girlfriend) and pasta.

If your timing is right you can even get their "Power Meal" for $5.00 but this is takeout only. It includes salad, pasta, bread.

The restaurant can get noisy. Seating is best against the wall. Otherwise you may have to squeeze by other diners.

Waitstaff varies. Parking is on the street or in the back, or underneath.

Overall I recommend this restaurant for their excellent Italian food.

PROS: Food, Power menu
CONS: Seating

With a modest front, this is an incredible restaurant. Great pasta, amazing pizza, and world-class tiramisu. A bit pricy, but worth it if you have the money. I would recommend it any day.

Great Italian food. Best complimentary bruschetta (Extra Garlicy) and toasted foccacia rolls!
