Chef Egidio (Egi) Franciosa was born in a sea side city just outside Naples, Italy where food is a celebration of life, family and friendship. Egi and Jannah met in Europe and returned to the U.S. in 2010. By 2017 Il Forno’s mobile Neapolitan pizzeria was born. As the family food truck received an abundance of praise from devoted regulars, it also inspired their dream to build a restaurant where the Neapolitan love of people and fresh food are served side by side. The Franciosa family is passionate about bringing a taste of Naples toNashville, Tennessee.Buon Appetito!

meatballs and gnocchi tasted delicious, not too salty and just tasted like home-made, sauce wasnt too ‘heavy’. pizza was great as well. service was great given they were busy. pricy spot. decor was romantic/intimate with dim lighting.

I’ve been to Il Forno three different times now, and each visit is exceptional. I love the atmosphere, the staff and service are exceptional, and the food has always been phenomenal. At Il Forno, you’ll find some of the best, most authentic Italian food in Nashville. Freshly made pizza and pasta dough made in-house daily truly make a difference and set them apart from the typical chain “Italian American” restaurant experience. After my first visit, I knew it’d be a regular date-night spot. The owners really care about the quality of their customers experience and take pride in their culture and their work. I’m excited to explore more of the menu with time and try everything I can!

5 stars across the board. I love authentic Italian restaurants. Malik provided fantastic service, we ordered the specials, and if you’re looking for a proper espresso martini and a glass of Chianti this is the place. Food was amazing, atmosphere transports you to Europe. Grazie mille, amiche

My personally favorite restaurant for Italian food. Wonderful food, people, and atmosphere. I’ve gone several times now, trying something new each time, and every dish has been phenomenal.

I’ve been to this restaurant four times now—three times on the patio and most recently inside. The food has always been consistently good, with great flavors and solid quality. In the past, the service has also been very good.
This Saturday we sat inside for the first time. It is a little loud, but nothing unbearable, and they were clearly very busy. We had a 7:00 pm reservation for two and waited almost five minutes just to check in. After we did, the hostess told us it would take a few minutes for our table to be ready. However, the couple behind us—also with a 7:00 pm reservation and who checked in after us—was seated immediately. I’m honestly not sure how their system works, but it didn’t feel great. The hostess seemed overwhelmed and wasn’t particularly polite or friendly.
Overall, we still enjoyed our meal because the food is always excellent, but the check-in experience this time was disappointing. I hope it was just an off night because this has been one of our favorite spots.

Cute little restaurant with potential to be great. They were out of meatballs by 730 maybe earlier. My food wasn’t bad. Tiramisu wasn’t great. Tasted like pudding from the store. Service was lacking waited a long time for water. Hostess wast the nicest. Parking is limited

Called in to order food and the guy picked up like he was auditioning for The Godfather: Olive Garden Edition. The fakest Italian accent I’ve ever heard. sounded like Mario and Tony Soprano had a baby and left it in Little Caesars. I half expected him to threaten me with a breadstick shiv.
The place itself looks cool, clean enough that I didn’t feel like I’d catch a disease, so points for that.
Now the food, it was fine. Not bad, not life changing. The margherita pizza tasted suspiciously like… pizza. The Bella and the Amore? Also pizza. Shocking, I know. I guess if you put an Italian sounding name on cardboard with cheese, it makes it authentic. Whitewash me harder, daddy.
Tried the pappardelle too. Even the “Italian” guy butchered the pronunciation (he’s probably named Brad), but the lamb tomato sauce slapped. Respect where it’s due.
Overall? If you’ve never left the U.S., this place will make you feel so cultured. It’s Olive Garden in cosplay. Like dating a girl who insists she’s Italian because her great-great-grandpa once waved at the Mayflower.

This is a nice Italian restaurant. I came here for a TimeLeft dinner with four other guys meeting for the first time, so perhaps going to a date night, moody-lit spot was an interesting choice…but loved the meatballs and the salads were amazing as well!

Service was very underwhelming. All three in our party agreed the food was very good. We arrived early so not busy at all. Don’t expect
much from a service standpoint and you’ll enjoy the visit based on quality of food.

This restaurant was such a great find! We made reservation so we had no wait time. Our table ordered the rosemary focaccia to share which was great. Our main course were also delicious (the special gnocchi was amazing!), we all cleared our plates.
My only critique would be that although we had a reservation, while we were having dessert and a second round of drinks our server said the hostess might approach us in 10 minutes to clear the table. This was about an hour and a half into our time there, while we were preparing to finish drinks and leave. It wasn’t a huge issue and we understand that it’s a busy spot, but from my experience, most restaurants respect give you the full two hours.
Overall, we loved the place and would 100% recommend it for dinner. Drinks were really good, food was great, and our server was super attentive.
