IL FORNO

Food good but unfortunately had 2 mixed drinks that had minimal alcohol in them.
We have these particular mixes often from lots of different places and these ones were definitely lacking the correct alcohol content.
We mentioned this to the staff member and she checked with her senior and they insisted that they had the correct amount of alcohol and we're going to charge us if we wanted extra alcohol. Very poor form and recommend not ordering mixes from this place.

Just ordered via Uber
Italian pizza is something else.one of the worst pizzas we have ever had in Melbourne
La pizza italiana e’ un’altra cosa.una delle peggiori pizze mangiate a Melbourne

Delicious food & beautiful atmosphere. The restaurant however lacked friendliness from staff & efficient service. Would still highly recommend purely based on the food. We will be back.

Love this place, its a regular for me. I generally order one of the pizzas and to date they have never let me down. Their food is top quality but it can be a bit expensive.

Brilliant Father’s Day meal. Thank you so much for the quality and value of this special meal. Chicken was perfect. Cannot wait to support you post lockdown. Keep up the great work and see you soon.

Always great food, excellent, friendly service. Pizza is first class. Can't wait to go back after lockdown!

Delicious food! Beautiful traditionally made pasta, exceptional pizzas with simple yet elegant garnishes, paired with delicious entrees and mains.however.our waitress was incredibly rude and seemed to have an attitude problem.

The pizza had potential as the dough was perfectly cooked. Where they fell short was with the Margherita toppings. A good Margherita has 2 key ingredients; basil and buffalo mozzarella (both of which were advertised on their menu).
There was no buffalo mozzarella, and there was going to be no basil until I asked for some. What I got was 2 pieces of basil on a large pizza! Come on guys, why so stingy? !? Don't advertise and charge for buffalo mozzarella if you can't deliver! You loose 1 star per missing ingredient. It could have been a 5 star pizza.

I have tried 3 different pizza places along Hampton St, and no one does a good Margherita with the correct ingredients. Seriously what is wrong with this street?

Excellent food. Helpful, friendly staff. A relaxing vibe, we had a good time. I'll go back again soon. 17Dec19

We come here for the occasional family birthdays, mothers days etc and the service is great every time, food is lovely and the staff always make it easier to bring the kids as they give them crayons and markers to keep them busy.

Love the food and great service, highly recommend! I had the arancini which was one of the best I've had.

Nice food but way too small for a main course when paying $39. Just add a few greens to the delicious fillet of fish and the purée veg. Seriously, shouldn’t have to order a side plate of greens.

Really disappointed with our dinner last night. Food was average to say the least. Expected a lot better. I had the ravioli and also the arancini balls. Found both to be very bland. I couldn’t finish the ravioli. Other friend had mussels who enjoyed them, so at least someone was happy. But you can’t really go wrong with mussels. My other friend had the seafood spaghetti. Prawns were over cooked and she didn’t enjoy it. She never finished hers either. For the prices they charge, it should of been much better!

Service was good by our waitress but was unfortunately let down the the extremely rude woman who was doing the till. The manner she spoke to us in not once but several times was just not acceptable. She needs to learn some manners. My friend arrive first and she barked at her even then saying ‘You’ll just have to wait over there’. Hmmm.

Based on the above we won’t be back. Maybe they had an off night. Struggling to understand how this place is so highly rated.

The service here is fantastic, the owner personally visits each table and the wait staff are friendly and caring. Small menu, picky eaters may struggle to find basic food, but there is a lot of thought in each dish and care is taken to make it balanced and delicious. Bathrooms are a bit of a let down, as in it's a beautiful restaurant and beautiful clean bathroom, but meandering down the unkempt rabbit warren to get there just ruins the experience a bit. Cakeage warning: spent $100 baking a cake for my husband's birthday then nearly choked when we were hit with a $70 cakeage charge on top of our bill ($5 per person!), fair wrought. Otherwise great place, byo or reasonably priced drinks, perfect garlic pizza.

Dine in and Staff are friendly and whitty, most importantly they have great pizza and pasta and a good selection of Italian beer. The tiramisu was amazing:) they are also kid friendly.
Get takeaway and here is where they suck! The pizza getting dry ontop of the oven and I sit there for 20 minutes waiting for the tiramisu before I can leave. Wouldn't it make sense to keep some ready to go in the fridge? Or Atleast trek the kitchen when the order comes in. Unbelievably this is the second time this has happened in as many visits. The first one I ignored as maybe being busy. If they don't want people to takeaway try should just say so. So frustrating, no apology and not much care given.

Evan and the team are like family, always great food and the staff go above and beyond to make you feel at home.
One of the best Italian places in Melbourne. Delicious food.

Incredibly good food.fresh as can be.friendly staff great service. I had a steak and the flavour was just magnificent.

Welcomed from the moment we walked in, passionate people making delicious sthrn Italian inspired food.

Our absolute favourite local Italian place. Naz (owner) is always there and makes sure you are always attended to. Authentic Pizzas on the menu (no Hawaiian haha) on a beautiful thin crust. Nona's lazangna is excellent but I can't go past the Cotolette in main size. Fully licenced, kids are welcome and the decor is fantastic - warm and inviting. Book as it gets busy at nights and look out for the pepper grinder which my kids love (you'll see what I mean when you visit!)
