Info & Location
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.

via LibroExcellent experience. Staff vere friendly & professional, service was brisk. We had the Arugula & parmesan salad shared, it was fresh, tasty & lots for the two of us. I had the tortellini, my brother had the canneloni; both were good & came in generous servings.
via LibroI have been going to the Il Fornetto since 1999, but last night the food was not as expected, we were a group of 6, & no one was satisfied, not taste at all. The parking problem is a turn-off to go back again.
via Librotout est au top chez Fornetto : l'accueil, le service, la cuisine & la vue.

Cuisine italienne traditionnelle.
Vous aurez l'embarras du choix.
Tout est bon!
Service hors pair.
Cadre agréable.
via LibroExcellent service à tout égard! La nourriture était excellente. De belles attentions pour l'anniversaire de notre fille. Le déplacement de la Rive Sud vers ce restaurant en valait la peine. Nous y retournerons.

I've been eating at this restaurant for 20 years?.. with no complaints.
Always well received, not to mention a smile. I can honesty say over the years I've brought many people who feel the same as I. It is & has been my go to for pizza & pasta. My friends & family rave about the veal.
Servers have changed over the years although always professional & courteous.

We went for lunch for our anniversary. We sat outside on the terrace. Nice view on the lakeshore & good ambiance. Ordered the calamari $22 , a pizza $24 & beer $8/bottle. The calamari were good, not great . The pizza was ok until the waiter spilled a beer onto the plate. He apologized & wiped the table, but when we pointed out that the beer was spilled on the pizza he just said "oh" & left. He never came back or offered any solution. When it came time to pay he asked if we wanted to take the leftovers home . We said " its soaked in beer ". He replied "you don't want to take it home & dry it off ?"

We had pizzas & a couple of other dishes. The pizzas were the worst we have ever tasted (dry crusts with barely anything on them, litterally). The rest of the food was mediocre at best, the portions minimal & the service unwelcoming.
With bad food & high prices,
it is hard to understand how this restaurant can survive & even get some good reviews. Do they selectively serve some customers better than others? A puzzle.
We will not be returning.
