Located in Montgomery, Forno’s is a beautiful Italian restaurant. The bolognese , arincini and fig and prosciutto pizza were delicious. The cacio e pepe and eggplant parmesan were okay. We had the pope’s chocolate salame for dessert. It’s a mixture of chocolate and crisp wafers and it was amazing. The atmosphere was great and we had a blast.

Had an absolutely wonderful meal here. The pizza was the best I’ve had outside of Italy. Pasta was cooked to perfection and delicious. The truffle creamed corn, I don’t even have the words. Do yourself a favor and stop in for a bite. I’ll definitely be back!

We had a reservation. We were given a table promptly. Server was nice and friendly. Service was fast. Bread came after main dishes came in so that was a miss. Atmosphere was lively and fun. There was not much space between tables. Food was delicious though. Will be back.

If I could give it 6 stars, I would. My husband and I went to Forno for our 10 year anniversary, we’ve never had a better restaurant experience. Our server, Lauren, was fantastic. She made sure our waters were always full, that we were satisfied with our food, and she gave us a dessert on the house in celebration of our anniversary. We started off with the bread basket, it was phenomenal. The price was also a steal, in my opinion. My husband got the Margherita pizza with spicy oil, it was delicious! The mozzarella was so fresh and it was wood fired. I had the cacio e pepe, it was delightful. For dessert, we ordered the tiramisu and they gave us the basil infused cream with blueberry compote. Both were amazing, but the tiramisu blew me away. I was almost in tears, tiramisu is my favorite dessert and I’ve never tasted one so intense while still being light. The ambiance was perfect for a date night, it was still fairly casual while feeling high end at the same time. We will most definitely be back. You can tell everyone in there is passionate about the food. The manager also came and checked on us and packaged up our leftovers for us in a nice reusable bag. I am more than pleased, over the moon even, to have dined here. Thank you Forno!

This was the worst mistake I’ve ever made for a birthday dinner. Wednesday night, it’s packed, you can’t hear anyone speaking it is so loud. Even though I made a reservation with 1 child, it took another 10 minutes after we were seated to get a kids menu. When my daughter was getting my birthday card from the other side of the table, a manager runs into her pushing her against the table and doesn’t say anything at all. 30 minutes later before our food has even arrived, I feel my purse moving from behind me. This manager PICKED UP MY PURSE WITHOUT MY CONSENT FROM MY CHAIR, AND MOVED IT. When I turned around she said,” Oh, sorry I has to move this it ls such a tight squeeze in here!” And walked away. There are NO options besides meatballs and pork to add to pasta dishes with is obsured. Nothing was offered for a birthday dessert, and looking at the menu it was bland and underwhelming. We decided to just leave. Bread basket was bread and a ramiken of straight olive oil. No seasoning, nothing. Do not waste your time here. Over packed, 2 hours to get through a basic (at best) dinner and $120 later, wish we had never came. Our server was an inconvenienced young, inexperienced person who did not fit the bill. We will not be returning.

I had the bread, swordfish and panacotta with Nutella Gelato. The bread was very hard and I didnt not like the texture. Some restaurants have complimentary breads better. However, the swordfish was really good taste wise but was a bit less flaky to my expectation. The panacotta was to amazing. The hint of basil was perfect and i enjoyed every bite of it! The Nutella Gelato was perfect too! The atmosphere was a bit loud but it was friday night so it was understandable.

Forno was on my list for a very long time and we finally got to go on my birthday this year. The taste of the food was average at best.
The Burratta was good with the bread. We finished that quickly.
The Atlantic Cod was pretty bland
The Cauliflower side was cold and the sauce was tasteless
The Eggplant was good and I would recommend
The Bolognese was also good and ot came with a good portion size
One cannot go wrong with the Creme Brule, our kids loved it
The Pope Chocolate dessert was unique and very good as well
Maybe we should have started our dinner with the desserts first as we liked them better than our food.

We have been going to Forno for years and this is my first review on Google. We had a reservation for four at 7:15pm on a Saturday night at a high top in the bar area, and arrived exactly on time. Like every other time we have gone, our table was still occupied by other guests when we arrived. And if you have ever been, you know that the place is small and there is absolutely no room in the foyer to wait. After getting two emails and a text reminding me of our reservation, it is frustrating that we still had to wait 16 minutes for our table while the bartender completely ignored that we were standing right by the bar and didn’t ask if we would like a drink. I had to be more assertive than I normally would to get his attention to get us some wine. When we were seated, it took a good 15 minutes before that same bartender came over to acknowledge us.
After that, the evening went smoothly. Our server Liz was great. We started with the Tonne e Fagioli. It has been on there menu for forever, and is a unique presentation of yellow fin tuna on beans. It does have a fennel note, which I love, but it is not for everyone. And I wish the beans were cooked just a teensy bit more. The artichoke soup was very good, but came to our table cold. I wanted to send it back to get heated, but my wife didn’t want to complain. The house made focaccia was excellent, as were all of the bruschetta options.
For our mains, two of us ordered pizza. The Salsiccia E Cipolla (sausage, caramelized onion, mozzarella) was loved by my friend, and the Elena (black truffle, gorgonzola, mozzarella and arugula) was also liked, but we thought it needed a generous drizzle of EVOO over the top and didn’t have much truffle flavor at all. The Atlantic Cod dish was wonderful, and the Pork Chop Milanese was huge and cooked perfectly. The cauliflower on top was fantastic.
If Forno could just up their service game more and pay attention to the little details (like hot soup), I would give it 5 stars for a casual Italian place.

Very nice restaurant. The server knew a lot about the menu and was very knowledgeable about food. The restaurant was nice and comfortable. The food was very flavorful, I got the Gnochi and the Arancini. I will definitely come again.
