Reviews
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!!
A totally recommended place for those who like Italian food or pizzas.
One of our favorites and obligated stop in McAllen.
Very nice
There are 5 restaurants at which I have never been disappointed and Il Forno a Legna is one of them
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.
