Il Fornello Restaurants - Toronto

I enjoyed the pizza I had ordered. It was thin crust and it is good enough for two ladies. The waitress was very polite and we got served promptly. Will go back and visit again

I have been to a few different IL Fornello's in the GTA and have always had a great experience until today. I went for lunch with 2 of my coworkers Thier food was fine but I ordered the Chicken Parm and it was like a hockey puck; it was so overdone and dry I could not eat much of it. I am so disappointed, I was looking forward to a great meal to break up the work week. The pasta that came on the side was fine but for $21 @ lunch I expected more. I would recommend the restaurant to others but maybe steer them away from the chicken.

The pizza and caesor salad was enough for two of us to share.as we both have walkers, the staff was most helpful and caring

Il Fornello is a chain of Italian restaurants in Toronto and it has maintained a good reputation over the years. This branch, inside the Bayview shopping center is clean, modern and usually packed. Tables and booths provide comfort and some degree of privacy. Service is prompt, sometimes a bit pushy. The limited menu offers reasonable representation of popular Italian food items, which are well prepared and tasty. The wine list is limited, but of good quality and well-priced.

3 of us attended this chain restaurant mid week recently, Two people had individual pizzas while I had the chicken parmesan. The pizzas were quite enjoyable while the parmesan was forgettable. The noodles that accompanied the chicken were well cooked and tasty. The chicken was, in a word, terrible. It was the toughest, over-cooked piece of white meat I have ever had. The lesson: stick with the pastas and pizzas. If this is the restaurants interpretation of what chicken parmesan is, they should remove it from the menu.
