Il Fornello - Ajax, Ontario

So this was our first visit to IL Fornello, we have been looking to expand our Italian restaurant locations. We had such a pleasant evening. The service was friendly and quick. The food was delicious. The portions were great. So happy we thought to go here. We will definitely ... be back!! Read more

My husband and I tried IL FORNELLO for the first time after seeing their 12$ pizzas! We had an absolute amazing experience. The food was absolutely amazing and the service was even better. Mitchell was so nice & helpful the whole night. The atmosphere was perfect for a date night. ... Will absolutely be back here for future date nights! Read more

Il Fornello has a great vibe, this location is a nice Italian restaurant. Prices are decent, taste and quality are absolutely delicious. We were not disappointed and as a returning customer, I highly recommend Il Fornello Ajax!

Off to an annoying start when the 1st thing we were told was that we had 1.5 hrs to dine on Valentine's Day....who does that?!! Luckily we were gonna catch a move later on but it was not appreciated at all. Build a bigger restaurant then vs putting a time pressure on ... patrons. Server climbing on seat to clean table opposite ours was interesting. Maybe sit and slide in to clean the table if arm not long enough to reach over the seat. The server got the order wrong so there was an extra wait time (wasting time they weren't courteous to oblige to begin with). One tasted well, the cake was too moist but tasty and the driest and cheese less pizza I ever tasted. Happily prefer to drive all the way to Toronto and go to Za instead or just eat Papa John's because honestly it was like eating grass off of a dough. Our server was pretty nice despite the error. Sitting next to the kitchen area was a poor choice because I could smell everything mainly raw stuff and something pungent. Loved that I could see what they were cooking though if I had to look for any positives. The ambience of the place was lovely and honestly if I had the audacity to return I would select different things on the menu and roll my eyes if they limited my time again.. didn't feel relaxed dining. Never ever in my worldwide culinary experience and travels, a restaurant ever requested that dining is time limited. Read more

By far the best Italian place I have ever been. Server was fantastic and I will definitely be going back. Prices are great, we ordered a liter of wine, a beer, 2 pizzas and mussels and we were not disappointed. Highly recommended EDIT!!! second visit!! Even better than the First time. ... Having hard time finding out how to post a second review so im doing this! Figured out our servers name!!! JUSTIN :) and his girlfriend HUNTER was just as amazing. We went again tonight (april 19th) and had a server who I'm sure was wonderful but I am a very specific woman and I know what I want so we requested to change our server to Justin who is obviously great at his job and knows I need alot of attention. We will be back AGAIN obviously. Read more
