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.

We visited this place for Mother's Day & they accommodated us last minute for a party of 12. The service was great, food amazing, I loved the Foccacia ! & the veal scallopini.
I found the dessert to be a bit pricy.. granita for 10$. However, 5 stars for this restaurant I will definitely returning!
The view is stunning as well overlooking the lachine canal.View more

Il Fornetto is a great spot for Italian food with a beautiful view of the Lachine Canal. The pizza was very delicious, with a perfect crispy crust & fresh toppings. The service was friendly & professional, but the rocket salad was overpriced for what it was, not much flavor for the cost. Still, it's a solid choice for a date night or a casual meal with friends.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

Belle adresse face à l'eau sur Saint-Joseph dans le Vieux Lachine, un quartier qui prends de plus en plus vie. Service impecc par Karine. Rapide, courtois & sympathique. Resto qui se remplit tout le temps alors vaut mieux réserver. En été c'est mois compliqué vu la terrasse. Nourriture de qualité, servie rapidement. Pizza au four à bois, croûte mince & choix varié. Bonne sélection de vin. Desserts intéressants (key lime est très bonne). Café serré comme il se doit. Comptez environs 24$ par pizza. Vin au verre 12 a 15$. On y retourne. recommend.View more

Nice place on the waterfront in Lachine. Sorry to say but I wasn't blown away by the food, it wasn't horrible, tasted ok but not really that impressive. The drinks we ordered were miniscule for the price (old fashioned) & I think they got the other one wrong (margherita, but they brought a senorita).View more

Another great meal at Il Fornetto. Been coming here for years, not only for the food but the ambiance inside & out, with a great view of the Lachine canal. The staff are super friendly & always welcoming. Shared a large Caesar salad which was perfect for 2 people as a starter. Then enjoyed the Lasagna which is always consistent & tasty, & had the Rucola pizza which was absolutely delicious. All their pizzas are fantastic, you can't go wrong with any of them, & so many to choose from! In addition also had a Table d'hôte of Braised Short Rib with some spaghetti. The meat was so tender & succulent. This included a mista salad or minestrone soup. Sadly no room for dessert on this visit, but their tiramisu & crème brûlée are worth the extra indulgence.View more

Il fornetto is my go-to for Italian food in Montreal. With a beautiful view over the Lachine canal, wood stove pizza cooked in house infront of you with scrumptious pasta dishes & imported desserts. Do not skip this place!View more

Great little restaurant overlooking historic Lachine Canal. Really nice wait staff who worked together as a team to assure your food was hot & be attentive to your needs. Of course I should mention the food was perfectly cooked & delicious!

Visite effectuée le 26 Mai 2018

Grande déception lors de notre dernier souper chez ce restaurant a Lachine.

Étant de bons clients depuis de nombreuses années. Avons toujours été satisfait de la nourriture & du service sauf du traitement de la part du propriétaire quand nous nous sommes plaints du prix demandé pour une demi assiette de pâtes a l'ail a 15$ alors que l'assiette normale ce détaillait a 17$.

Nous avons demandé le pourquoi de ce prix exorbitant. On nous a répondu que si vous regardez sur le menu, il est inscrit moins 2$ pour la moitié.

Le serveur nous a mentionné qu'il y aurait un surplus pour les pâtes sans nous mentionner le prix.

Après avoir regardé notre facture nous avons trouvé ce prix hors norme pour une petite portion de pâtes.

Nous avons mentionné ce fait au propriétaire. Nous avons eu comme réponse si vous n'êtes pas content alors ne revenez plus avec un air presque de mépris.

Dommage que le propriétaire ne soit pas a la hauteur & non sympathique avec de bons clients sauf pour les habitués qui je présume au cours des années se sont habitués a ce faire arnaquer sans bronchés.

En ce qui nous concerne, après avoir déboursé de bonnes factures au cours des dernières années, c'est notre dernière visite.
