Il Fornello - Toronto, Ontario

Great restaurant! Went there with my girlfriend and it was really good. I love the vibe there, it’s fancy but still simple. The staff is super friendly and efficient. The menu is great. Lots of choices for vegan or gluten-free people. Prices are honest. They could change their wine selection ... though ... I recommend this place in Riverdale! Read more

This restaurant is fantastic! The food was excellent and the service was the same. We ordered the chicken parmigiana and lamb shank and we were not disappointed. The lamb was so tender and the mashed potatoes was delicious. The chicken parmigiana was flavorful from the bite I tried. Their ... bread is really good too. We will definitely be back! Read more

Probably the only thing I enjoyed from the winterlicious preset menu was the goat cheese arugla salad . It was my first time exploring what a lamb shank tasted like, and didn't really enjoy it. It looked as was described, fell off the bone, but perhaps I was expecting something ... juicier and plump. The mashed potatoes under the lamb were average at best. The portions were a great size this year though. The only reason I'd rate this place at all was because the service was excellent. Food came hot and prompt. We went to celebrate an early birthday for a family member DURING winterlicious and our server was so kind and accommodating. She even put a candle on the dessert. On several occasions one of the family members changed their mind on their choice for the preset menu and she did her best to accommodate those requests as well. She obviously wasn't able to do them all but she did try which we appreciated. Read more

We went to Il Fornello for our department's Holiday gathering with a large team of 20+ colleagues. The service was great and friendly. The food was tasty, reasonable portion size and good. This is a perfect location to get an affordable lunch/dinner and walk to one of the theatres ... in the neighborhood. I recommend the Pizza (all are good) and the spicy mussels! Read more

Great selection of pizzas, pastas and meat options! Il Fornello has been around for years and there are many chains. They have promos at times such as $5 pizzas and prix fix lunch menu. My favourite is their tiramisu!! SO good!
