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.

Il Founetto has been a'go to' favourite restaurant for my family for decades, & onvce again the wait & kitchen staff did a fine job in delivering a memorable & delicious birthday dinner. Without prompting from anyone in our party, our waiter brough a tiramisu dessert with a sparkler to light up our table. The food was excellent & service warm, friendly & efficient. I guess that's why we keep going back.

I liked the food & the beautiful view from the balcony. The dishes are quite pricey, though, so I'm not sure I'd go back.

The seafood pasta was good. It came with 2 shrimp, along with calamari, mussels, & small pieces of scallops i guess. Since we had already ordered calamari as an appetizer, I would have preferred more shrimp instead of so much calamari on pasta.

The pizza was delicious-very flavorful with a great crust. I actually regretted not ordering it instead!

Overall, it was a nice experience, but I found the prices a bit too high.
