   Food is great here. Have done 4 times here already and have not been disappointed. Pizza is great and so are the pastas. Service is polite and efficient. Hope they do well as we need more dining in the area 👍.

   This is the second Tuesday in a row where or group has spent almost $800 in two a weeks on two seperate birthday occasions. Both nights happen to be Tuesdays which is all day happy hour. Last night we realized after coming home that we were charged full price for our pizzas that were from the happy hour menu. Based on our bill total we assume we were charged full price last week also but hadn’t noticed. We returned to the restaurant to inquire (as no one was answering the phone). The manager on duty was far from helpful only handing the menu stating “vegan pizzas are $4 more each”. To our surprise, we don’t recall seeing this listed anywhere on the happy hour menu, being told by our server or any reference to “exclusions apply” with regards to all day happy hour 2 weeks in a row. After further discussion and support from the lovely Bartender, it was agreed to refund $50 on our almost $400 bill. Rather disappointing that we were met with such resistance to being overcharged on our bill and left us wondering how many others just assume the total is right and pay the full price. We’ve come to love IL Fornello and the food but we will certainly be watching our cheque more closely in the future.

   Il Fornello has continued to refine the restaurant since opening. It's now become a top choice for a nice evening out to either unwind from the week or celebrate an event. Great client experience.

   made reservation but when we got there, restaurant was completely full. hostess lied to us and said they were just "cleaning tables" and asked us to wait at the bar. 15 minutes later we see a couple leave their table and we were seated a few minutes later. don't mind waiting but don't appreciate being lied to. hostess should have just apologized for not having our table available at our reservation time and offered maybe a comp appetizer or something. poor training, bad decision. otherwise, experience was good, food was very good.

    The menu is very restrictive for a chain like Il Fornello. I asked to substitute pasta for the potatoes on my Veal order and they wanted to upcharge me $10. The amount of pasta you would normally get would cost 36 cents. My wife's Pasta was verging on raw and tastless. She did not ask for a refund but the server made the decision to take it off the bill. Thank heavens she did not ask the cook. The server was the most positive thing about the place. Oh and the wine was very good, Chenin Blance from South Africa
