Terrace
Marc M.

We had a pleasant evening sitting on their terrace. Our waiter Stephen was very good. They have a nice menu with plenty of choices for all. The pizza was ok. They use regular mozzarella rather than the fresh one. So their mozzarella pizza is a cheese pizza. The lemon veal was well made. Their salads are large and well garnished. We were four and we enjoyed our evening.

La Boscaiola Pizza - Sauce + Mushroom + Cheese
George S.

Excellent pizza, authentic and delicious, but the price is a little pricey for the size and portion. One pizza per person, you can't really share a pizza unless you're both not very hungry. There's a wide selection of pizzas but also a lot of other different options of food. I'd recommend it if you want a bite when you're walking along the canal Lachine.

On the Lakeshore
Karen H.

So beautiful decorated, staff is friendly and great service. We sat by the window over looking the lake and it was a full moon, a picture perfect evening.I ordered the Zuppa Stracciatella soup which was very good. My main dish was Pizza and small Caesar salad. It lacked flavour as little as salt. The dessert, tiramisu and it was very good. Another night discovery food.

Sausage tortellini

Absolutely amazing place! The service was great, everyone was super kind and our food was ready SO FAST! The atmosphere of the place is very nice and the patio is perfect to sit along the lakeshore and enjoy your meal. The meals were delicious and they offer 1/2 portions for less $ which is great! Only thing that could use improvement is their bread, it was very dry and hard but overall will definitely eat here again.

We went to this restaurant some time ago (before the smoking ban in Montreal) but now the opportunity is up to review on Yelp, I couldn't resist. I booked a table at Il Fornetto for our wedding anniversary and at the time my wife was around 7 months pregnant. When I called I made strict instructions that the table would be in a non-smoking area. When we arrived we were greeted and taken to our table. The host was obviously completely blind and stupid because within one minute of us sitting down the large party on the table right next to us finished their meals and all lit up cigarettes! When I asked why we were in the smoking section he looked stunned and couldn't understand what the problem was (my wife was obviously pregnant) We had to get up, move tables but still the non-smoking tables were in the same area as the smokers, who incidentally were wearing t-shirts and some were wearing baseball caps. They obviously knew the waiters and staff. Really classy! I honestly can't remember the food and we left quite quickly as soon as the bill arrived. I wouldn't recommend this restaurant to anyone.

Tiramisu

I was not very pleased with my experience at Il Fornetto. I had ordered a Table d'Hôte which included arancini as the appetizer and veal and linguini as the main dish. The arancini was bland, nothing special about it. It took awhile to receive the main dish, and when I did, it wasn't as warm or hot I thought it was going to be. There were pieces of cold mozzarella cheese on the veal, and I thought it was going to be hot and cheesy... I was so disappointed... I would not recommend this place.

Veal Parmesan.

OK,this place is absolutely worth the taxi or Uber drive. Very Italian, everything homemade, wine list was right on the money. Loved their Veal Parmesan. I sat outside and enjoyed a meal and nice weather. After dinner you can walk across the street enjoy the park to burn off the calories you just ate. Great neighborhood place.

We dined outside in the evening air across from the canal. So if you're in LaChine this is a perfect place to enjoy the evening

See all
