About us

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.

Wonderful restaurant. Delicious food. Yesterday was my birthday & we were the last to leave the restaurant. I was treated very well by the staff, who gave me a tiramisu to sing happy birthday. We will be back more often.

This place is just as I remember, a staple of the lachine water front restaurants great wood stove pizza accompanied by all the right flavor profiles. Very nice ambiance & service is on point. Couple of reason I don't give a 5 star rating, on the way to the washrooms we over heard some getting chewed out for some kind of error that was made, something else is the place has not changed in ages & lastly this place is exactly the same for as long as I could remember not yet to have had a menu that gets me excited to try something else.

La pizza etait correcte, mais peu garnie. Trop chere pour la qualite. Les calamares etaient plutot fades. Cependant, le ANTIPASTO « IL FORNETTO » etait degeu. Les melons n'etaient pas murs - tres durs-, les legumes goutaient la vieille huile & le salami etait passe date, rassi. Franchement deugeulasse. Nous avons informe la cuisine. Malgre cela nous avons ete facture la totale. Le service etait autrement adequat. Tres decevant.
