Thank you James for you great service!

We had an awesome experience here today. It was our first time and we loved it. We tried the Iceberg Wedge Primero as an appetizer, Risotto Negro which we really loved, and the Conchiglie Al Forno. The Tiramisu was delicious! The recommendations were made by the server and they were on point. Thank you!!

The best gourmet pizza I’ve ever had!! I had the chicken marsala and it was absolutely delicious. The appetizers were amazing as well. It was a wonderful atmosphere, and service! It’s as delicious as it is pretty. Didn’t take a picture of the other food we had , but it was delicious.

The most authentic Italian food that I know of in our area. Every dish, drink, or desert that I have ordered has been better than expected.

There are 5 restaurants at which I have never been disappointed and Il Forno a Legna is one of them

Absolutely loved our visit to Il Forno a Legna! The pizza was incredible — fresh, flavorful, and perfectly wood-fired with that delicious crispy crust. You can really taste the quality ingredients and the love they put into their food. Cozy atmosphere and friendly service made it even better. Definitely a new favorite spot for authentic Italian pizza!

The experience started off on the right foot—the hostess was friendly and welcoming. Unfortunately, that’s where it ended.

When the manager arrived at the host stand, her attitude immediately shifted the tone. She was rude and off-putting, bluntly stating there was a $25 cake fee, as if our presence was an inconvenience. This isn’t the first time we’ve had a negative interaction with her, and it’s disappointing. If guests are coming in to celebrate a birthday, basic politeness shouldn’t feel like too much to ask.

As for the food—mediocre Italian at best. The steak was extremely over-salted. The menu listed mashed potatoes, but what arrived were chunky cut potatoes instead. The carbonara oddly tasted like seafood and became more overpowering with every bite. The fettuccine felt incomplete, like something crucial was missing. Overall, it seems seasoning is a recurring issue in the kitchen.

For a restaurant branding itself as authentic Italian, there’s also no true espresso machine, which really takes away from the experience. And despite the restaurant boasting about its pizza, it was telling that not a single table appeared to be ordering it.

The ambiance and decor are nice, but when Olive Garden delivers better flavor, that says a lot. Sadly, good looks can’t make up for poor service and forgettable food.
