About

Located in an enchanting setting on the shores of the Lachine Canal, Il Fornetto is a perfect place to offer oneself a moment of relaxation and change of scenery without having to leave the city. Inside, the rustic-inspired though modern décor is particularly pleasant. Yet it is above all for its superb, double-level terrace looking out directly over the canal that people love this place. Open from early in spring until late in autumn, the terrace welcomes you to come and enjoy beautiful the sunsets.

Il Fornetto’s menu takes on the appearance of an encyclopaedia of Italian cuisine. The selection is impressive and includes all of the staples: pastas available as a full dish or half portion, which is great for an entrée, various antipasti and veal and the most important staple of them all, pizza baked in a real wood-burning oven. Here, it is particularly delicious, crispy and topped with the freshest ingredients. Not surprisingly, this restaurant – open since 1987 – shows no sign of slowing down.

Review Summary

Il Fornetto is widely recognized as a reliable destination for traditional Italian cuisine, particularly celebrated for its wood-fired pizzas and flavorful pasta dishes. Many visitors highlight the consistently professional and attentive service, which often enhances the overall dining experience. The restaurant is especially favored for its stunning waterfront location, offering a beautiful atmosphere with a terrace that provides picturesque views of the Lachine Canal. While some patrons find the dining rooms can become quite noisy and occasionally note variations in portion sizes or pricing, the majority of experiences reflect a warm and inviting setting suitable for romantic dates, family celebrations, and professional gatherings alike.

My boyfriend introduced me to this place, the food is so scrumptious that I always forget to take the picture. I have been there twice & have always been acknowledged warmly, even if they dont have seatings available or you didn't reserve it. They try their best to accommodate you. The pasta is very fresh & the choice of wine is just perfecto! The food very good in quality. Highly recommend as it is also by a very beautiful scenic river just makes it more enjoyable.

The food was quite good & plentiful (m'lady had to order a take-home-box for her salad), despite the odd passing truck (we did choose the terrace) the atmosphere was excellent, the park & river across the street lent to the view & the noise level was low enough that a quite conversation was kept up throughout the meal..

The main point of enjoyment was the service. The welcome & seating was gracious & accommodating, the table service was as good as it gets, social, worked with us to make the lunch out as good as it possibly could get..

Highly recommended
