I was excited to check this place out because I had heard good things. Unfortunately, I feel like…read moreit's a bit overhyped. As far as the food, we had the fried mozzarella, which was essentially a log of cheese deep-fried and served over sauce. It was delicious, but the cheese-to-crust ratio was a bit heavy. The Caesar salad looked better than it tasted. It was very wet, if that makes sense, and the lettuce seemed soggy. Now for the Wagyu ragu. This almost made me have a seizure, and not in a good way. It was extremely salty and completely inedible, so we had to send it back. The waitstaff was very accommodating and agreed that the salt level was way off, so we replaced it with the carbonara. I'm not sure if that's what authentic carbonara is supposed to taste like, but I did not enjoy it. It tasted burnt to me and had too much pepper. I also didn't care for the shape of the noodles. Last, we had the Americano pizza. It was decent, but nothing to write home about. I just think that if you're going to advertise a pizza with meat on it, there should be more than one piece of sausage per slice. As far as the service, our server was fine. Not particularly friendly, but straightforward and efficient. The manager (or another server) was helpful when it came to replacing our dish. Overall, I would not go back. The location is great and the vibe is nice, but the food was a miss. Save your money and go somewhere else.

I usually end up staying longer than expected just chatting with them, and I always leave feeling good about supporting a local business.

Absolutely delicious and amazing customer service…read more Where do I start? We went for lunch and decided to pass on the lunch specials. Only because I wanted to try a specific dish. Lunch specials ranged from 14.99-18.99, and is a great price for entree (good portions), salad or soup of the day, and sweet tea or unsweetened tea! Can't beat it. We were sat pretty quickly, we ordered Chicken Piccata with a salad that I shared with a friend and still had to pack the rest up. The lunch portion was HUGE! I did not finish it all but I also couldn't stop eating it. I tried my friend's Shrimp plate and it was delicious also, and ordered a Tiramisu desert to-go. Tried it at home and yummmmm. Our server was so awesome, all our food was hot and soooo good. He brought us fresh garlic butter bread right out of the oven. I can't wait to go and try more dishes. Our server mentioned that dinner servings are even bigger than the lunch portions. Clean restaurant and really pleasant atmosphere.

I've lived in Naples Italy for a few years and have tried true authentic Italian pizza all over…read moreNapoli , Il Forno does it right!! Since moving back to the USA, this is the best pizza we have had. We drive about 45 minutes to Il Forno at least every other week for our favorite pizza. I've tried other pizza spots in the area and nothing comes close. We LOVE the hummus as an appetizer, best hummus in town by far! It has a little bit of a spice, not too spicy, with a hint of lemon flavor in the olive oil.... It's delicious!!! We typically order the traditional Margherita Pizza and the Intero (with different meats) and they are both excellent every time! This isn't the traditional American style, thick crust or deep dish pizza, like a lot of people in the states are use to. If you want to try true traditional Italian style pizza made with fresh ingredients, then try this spot out. They even make their own mozzarella Keep up the great work Il Forno!!

My sweet potato of a boy has somehow decided that cheese tortellini is the epitome of fine dining,…read moreand in the interest of not having to cook too often, we've been on a quest to find the best tortellini in town. I thought the "soup of the day: cheese tortellini" sign...was a joke like "soup of the day: beer". No, that's really the soup option. Anyway, this one was close to his school, had a tortellini entree, and looked pretty good, so we decided to give it a whirl. We've gotten the last walk-in table twice now, at 5:45 pm. Which really gives me the warm fuzzies. It's a tiny space that seats maybe 20 folks; it's proud, not upscale, but not run down and reasonably busy. It's slightly claustrophobic, but in a way that implies they're prioritizing space for tables. It's the kind of place where you can just feel that the food is gonna be good. The kid got the cheese tortellini on both visits and will do so on every visit in the future for all of eternity. He decided he's not a fan of tortellini in soup form, so I get his soup. He rates the entree somewhere above HEB imported refrigerated variety and somewhere below his most beloved Pesto Restaurante, but I think if we tweak the sauce, we will get it dialed in ok. I've gotten Veal Francese both times, because I'm a monster, and when I see veal on a menu, I can't help myself. It was paired with a salad, and (my kid's) soup, and the entree was served with pasta al dente. Super filling and priced quite reasonably. It was delicious - I loved everything about it. Awesome little family-style place, great food, good atmosphere, ample parking. This one checks all the boxes.

The food was delicious, but unfortunately the experience with our server took away from the meal…read more At the end of our meal, we asked to split the check and it took a long. Our server was visibly upset about splitting the bill and seemed frustrated throughout the process. We gave her cash to put toward the bill and planned to pay the remaining balance by credit card, but she initially took the cash as a tip instead. When we clarified that the cash was for the bill, she seemed frustrated and said she didn't know how to fix it. Another server eventually had to step in. After we left we noticed we were billed incorrectly....... The food was great, but based on our experience, I'd recommend being prepared to pay the check all together. Splitting the bill seemed to be a major issue for our server.

I have been praying for a decent Italian restaurant to open up close to us. My prayers have been answered. This location used to be a pizza sports bar kind of place that closed a few months ago. Now it is a very nice full-menued Italian restaurant. A lot of my favorite dishes are on the menu. Today, I tried the cannelloni in marinara sauce. My wife tried the cannelloni in Al Fredo. We were served a nice cold and crisp salad along with a basket of bread knots. That bread was soft and delicious, especially when dipped in the bowl of olive oil they provided with it. Both of our entrees were very good. They were served piping hot straight out of the oven in oval dishes. I tasted the Al Fredo and it was delicious. It is way too rich for me, hence my ordering the marinara, which was amazing. Since they gave us two huge bread knots each, I used my second one to sop up the sauce like an ill-mannered peasant. Talk about good! We each chose one of their delicious desserts to take home. My wife opted for chocolate cheesecake. I am not a fan of that at all, but she said it was really good. I had the Italian Cream Cake. It was moist and delicious with lots of awesome icing. Our server, Rose, was very welcoming and helpful. She seemed well-versed on the menu and assisted us in making our choices. The manager was very friendly and talked to us a bit. The music was relaxing. All in all, I liked everything about this place and hope they do a great business. I truly expect to become a regular here.

One thing we really appreciated was being able to order directly through their website instead of using a third-party delivery service. The food was outstanding! We ordered the Beef Lasagna, Seared Red Shrimp, and my wife's favorite, Albi's Shrimp. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. The bread was also amazing--we enjoyed it so much that we'll be asking if we can order some by itself next time! Overall, we were very impressed with the quality, taste, and fair pricing.

The menu is pricey, which we don't mind when the food is good. The food we had does not justify these prices. The calamari ($16) is obviously cooked from frozen. It's not seasoned and was overcooked. Calamari isn't the most forgiving dish, so we didn't say anything. It was still edible and we were hungry. The marinara sauce wasn't bad. The side salads (one free with entrée, one $6) were your basic bagged salad with one sad slice of tomato and three slivers of shaved carrot. Dressing is not made in house. The bread (free with entrée) was the star. The dipping oil ($5) seemed like the only thing that was actually made from scratch. It was full of chopped garlic and basil with some red pepper flakes. Absolutely delightful. The bread came out fresh. It had a lovely crisp crust and a pillowy soft middle. I could have eaten a whole basket of the bread. I'm not sure if it's baked from frozen, but it was really good. We split the cappellini carciofi entrée ($16 lunch special) that was described as chicken breast sautéed with artichokes, fresh tomatoes and white wine. Served in a lemon sauce over angel hair. What we got was an anemic chicken breast pounded wafer thin that had been stewed in canned tomatoes and artichokes. There no lemon flavor in the sauce. The pasta was cooked perfectly, but the sauce just tasted like oil. The whole dish had a metallic taste that made us instantly stop eating bc it just tasted off. At that point we were over it. We had been willing to overlook the disappointing calamari, if the main dish had been great, but it was worse. Our server was very nice, but for some reason when apologizing for the bread taking longer to come out, decided to say she was baking it fresh so it "wouldn't get salmonella, because there'd been so many outbreaks". My husband and I looked at each other like. "huh? What are you doing with bread to risk salmonella?" and why would you mention salmonella right before bringing me chicken dish?!? Weird. When advised we didn't like the dish, she was very kind and got the manager. The manager did offer to bring us something else but we were already so turned off, we just wanted to go. She did bring us some more bread to go with the dipping oil that we asked to take home which was a nice touch. I don't know if we will go back. Some of the pics and reviews make me think maybe we just got the wrong thing or went on an off day.

We waited way too long for him to come by, and every time we needed something it felt like we were waiting forever.

What makes it more disappointing is that we brought an out-of-town guest with us, and this was their first experience here.
