It was outstanding from start to finish. The halibut was absolutely fantastic, perfectly prepared, and the risotto was rich and delicious. Paired with a glass of light Chianti, it was the kind of meal you savor and don’t want to end.
What truly impressed me, though, was the staff. They are very young, yet incredibly polite, friendly, and efficient—far beyond what I expected. Their professionalism and warmth elevated the entire experience. I was genuinely impressed and can’t wait to return.
Definitely need to go back more.

Really a unique restaurant with some wonderful handmade authentic Italian foods. When you first walk into this restaurant you’ll realize its kinda special, has alot of charm you won’t find at the Olive Garden and you can tell someone has put alot of hard work into making it a warm inviting place to have dinner. The staff are all very friendly and attentive. The dishes are simple and delicious. We had the Crab Cake appetizer which was great, seafood pasta entree and another pasta which was really amazing. Loved this place can’t wait to come back and try some of the other dishes.
After coming back and trying some of thier pizzas those also come highly recommended, really wonderful pizza.

We made reservations for our large family. The place is very cool and the food was amazing. Pasta and pizza dishes, clams for appetizers and more. Good wine recommendations and service was professional and outstanding. What a wonderful evening.

The food was really good. They do not take reservations so be prepared for a wait on holidays or weekends. Food came out at the perfect time and everything tasted fresh.

WOW. This restaurant’s offerings are exceptional. It’s true to Sicilian cuisine and so delicious it’s hard to save room for dessert! (I highly recommend the affogato if you do want something sweet.) A line begins forming outside the doors before the restaurant is open, so be aware it’s popular!

Hands down my favorite Italian restaurant. And I love that it’s Sicilian owned. My boyfriend and I absolutely love this place and have visited, celebrated our birthdays here and will be back the next chance we get. It’s warm and friendly and the food is always fresh and fantastic. Their tiramisu is the BEST and truly only tiramisu I’ve ever been a fan of. They make you feel like family when you’re there. Love love love this place!!

First time at La Fornaretta, but it’s been on our list for quite a while. So glad we finally made it here. It’s the kind of place my wife and I like, really good food and service with a casual atmosphere. We started with the salmon carpaccio and then had the sole over risotto and tortelli with pink sauce as entrees. All were wonderful! Nice selection of wine and beer. We sat outside and enjoyed our meals and wine. Overall, a wonderful experience. We’ll be back!

The food was very good the bread and dipping oil was delicious and they kept bringing more which was appreciated. I got the smoked salmon fettuccine alfredo and it was very creamy with lots of pieces of salmon. My husband got the special which was the braised short rib, it was fall apart tender. Both of my boys got pizza, one with cheese and one with pepperoni, and both were cooked perfectly.
