Il Fornaro - North York

On Saturday night, I was surprised to find that this lovely restaurant was completely empty. I decided to order a pizza to go. However, when I got home and tried it, I was incredibly disappointed. The pizza had no flavor and looked very unprofessional, resembling a frozen pizza from the grocery store. I was left feeling frustrated by the whole experience.

The food took an hour and a half to arrive, despite being the only customers in the restaurant. The waitress seemed disorganized, pacing back and forth without serving us. There was only one waiter and one chef working. I would not recommend this restaurant and will not be returning.

The food was excellent and the waitress was extremely helpful. We had a great time and I took my wife there for her birthday, she really enjoyed it.

We came in on a Sunday night, around 6:30, and much to surprise, the place was empty. Not a single patron but us.The waitress who sat us down was very sweet and caring. We started wondering why we were the only ones. The place is gorgeous, wonderful ambiance... it didn't make sense. We looked at the reviews, while most were 5 stars, there is also a significant number of bad reviews and we started getting skeptical.As it turns out we had a perfect experience. The food was fresh, delicious. Rivals the Italian restaurant we go to back home. I still don't understand why it wasn't a packed night, but we for sure can vouch that this was one of the best food experiences we have had.

Went for dinner last night and had an amazing experience. Our server was great. We had the bruschetta and minestrone soup to start both were great. And both had pasta for our mains and were very impressed. Added to that the atmosphere of the dining area was excellent. This place deserves to be on a wait every night honestly. 10/10 would recommend.
