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 place was cozy & the food delicious but its the excellent service that our waitress gave us that puts it on our places to go back to. She was very sweet & accommodating to our 4yr old who came with us. Made sure we were seated in a corner, removed the wine glass & sharp cutlery in his area, even offered to water down the orange juice & gave him his own smaller plate to serve himself his pizza slices. It was all the small things.View more

We've been wanting to go there for a while, we decided to go tonight, I was enjoying being there, I ordered the seafood rissotto, my wife the Tortellini, & a bottle of wine, I was enjoying my Rissotto until I kept crunching into mussel shells, I was lucky I didn't break a tooth, I kept putting them on the side of the plate, & they were quite a few, I mentioned it to the waiter but it was more of a oh well moment, I was a little thrown off by that, he saw it he took it to the kitchen but there was not even an I am sorry about that moment, when I got the check it was still on it, & there were alot of broken mussel shell pieces , disappointed, too bad, thought they were a higher standard. I was expecting them to say the usual coffee & dessert are on us, sorry about that. But the coffee & dessert were charged too. That's too bad. I guess they got enough followers they don't care.175$ plus tip. Won't be going there anymore.View more

Had my birthday dinner with my mum here & it was a nice experience, initially got a table on the ground floor, but did not like the ambience , a nice waiter was kind enough to get us a space upstairs right beside the fireplace which we loved more & was a great picture spot . The service was great & the food was nice!. My only downside was that it was too noisy , I would have thought that for a Wednesday it would be less crowdy, ( but this means they are doing a very good job & people like their food) . We had jumbo shrimp with a side of pasta, Italian seafood rice , grilled steak & vegetables, a glass of red wine & a glass of juice for my mum. Spent 200+ plus tip. Now my mum is in love with the Italian seafood rice & she is asking when I'd be bringing her again 😅. & yea!!! I got a dessert on the house because it was my Birthday!!!!!! Thanks guys, I really enjoyed my birthday dinner .View more

Lovely evening, service was superb, as was the food...proof is we keep returning....a little costly though for two plates of spaghetti..one glass of wine a a soft drink. Including tip, $90.00 that's a bit much. Don't you think?View more

Hello i would give you a 5 on the service, however, this is the second time it happens, the wine is overpowered, & a full bottle is finished before the main meal arrives, otherwise, everything is great, thank you

We had a fabulous evening!! Showed up just before the kitchen closed & I tried to rush the order but our server (Steve, a consummate pro!) made sure we took our time & enjoyed ourselves. The food & wine were delightful & the ambiance was cozy, yet refined. Steve even took the time to create French lessons for my anglophone partner. All around a great evening in a great spot!View more

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
