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.

The experience felt a bit like stepping back in time - the restaurant could definitely benefit from a menu & decor upgrade. That said, the location is lovely & perfect for a nice walk after lunch or dinner. The service was friendly & attentive.View more

It became our fav Italian resto in no time.
Located by the beautiful waterfront in lachine
Their pizza is to die for! Like really amazing & I don't usually love pizza in general. It's just tastes like in Napoli, Italy… yummy! Thin, crispy, but also a bit chewy, with just perfect amount of toppings, & made in the wood oven! Perfection!

We have tried everything in their menu , but my fav is eggplant parm! Omg…. It's so so freaking good!
The veal dishes are amazing & the pastas are cooked to perfect al dente. So many tasty dishes to choose from.
Service is always great , super friendly, fast & attentive, with smiles.
This resto is very popular, so make reservations, you will not be disappointed.View more

I visited this place 8 years ago & got a bad experience. Coming back last week for dinner with friends, I found it quite a difference. The ambiance is cozy & the food is excellent. The service is attentive, & our host is a lively person with a touch of humor.View more

Il Fornetto has been a part of my life for over 20 years-growing up, I visited often with my parents & siblings, & last night I returned with my partner. It's wonderful to see this restaurant still delivering that classic Italian experience. The food met my expectations-consistent & well-prepared, with a traditional approach to Italian cuisine. I had the Risotto al Funghi, which was creamy with a slight al dente bite, just as it should be 🙌🏽. The Polpette della Nonna were also nicely done, not overpowering with spices or garlic, making them enjoyable for all palates. Their fire oven pizza, with its thin crust, was delicious, & shall I add that the oven itself is a beautiful centerpiece. The atmosphere remains cozy & inviting, perfect for both small & larger gatherings. Service was excellent, as always-attentive & welcoming. Definitely worth the visit!View more

Thank you for hosting us♥️. We had a nice dinner with a group of 8 people & were seated upstairs. The service is really outstanding, the staff is attentive, very friendly & professional & well organized. The food was good & served within a short time even though the restaurant was full. The restaurant has a real pizza oven which makes the pizza really delicious. Also the coffee had a nice flavor. All in all we are happy about the choice of restaurant & will definitely come back.View more

The place is way too loud - had to scream at my friends. This is the 8th time I have been & most likely the last as a result.
The waiter was very good, & the water person was fabulous - extremely attentive.

Great service, attentive, always smiling & polite, knowledgeable on food. Food was good, well presented & nicely cooked to perfection. Ambiance is awful, upstairs is like a banquet hall, loud & chaotic. They take in too many large groups, we had 2 groups with more than 15 people making it not a venue for a family dinner, definitely for lunch, not for Saturday night IMO.

Mike & the rest of his colleagues were great as usual. His partner & I'm sorry, I forgot his name, was attentive at filling-up my son's glass of water multiple times. The food always to our liking as always. We're always treated well. The wine coupled well with our Lobster Fazzoletto & Linguini sun-dried tomatoes with Portobello Mushrooms. See you soon. Rosella
