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.

The service was disappointing, instead of placing the'special' knives for cutting pizza on the table as normal restaurants do, our waiter all but threw the knife on the table & handed the knife to the person sitting across from me. People in my group observed that our server was visibly impatient & that we should hurry up to order (we had sat down less than 10 minutes ago).
During our visit, the manager was yelling at another server for at least 20 minutes. I was trying to enjoy a nice dinner with my family, but instead it felt as though I was on the tv show hell's kitchen having to listen to the staff argue & yell loudly.
The food was mediocre at best, the pizza's tasted as though they were frozen pizza's from the grocery store that had been re-heated in a regular oven, very disappointing since these were $29 pizza's. Again, considering the price point of each dish, & the subpar quality of the food, I would not recommend this establishment.View more

Il Fornetto, is a staple in Lachine - nice place & view, however has become quite over priced.View more

This restaurant offers a pleasant atmosphere & fairly good food. However, some of the waitstaff could benefit from improved communication skills & a touch more refinement. The homemade tiramisu was somewhat underwhelming. Overall, it was a decent dining experience in a fantastic location.View more

Don't say you want to share. Divide your own meals on your plates & save five dollars. Seems a bit sneaky the way they offer it, but it is stated on the menu about the charge. We also waited a long time to be served after we arrived.
Can't beat the view from the patio. Beautiful park & waterfront to enjoy. Awesome location.
Don't go to this restaurant if you like chicken. I seriously searched & couldn't find a pasta or a pizza with chicken!
The salmon pasta was incredible with a bit of Parmesan on it! The Giardino pizza was a bit bland.
Host & server were both accommodating to some unique needs our family had.View more

A wonderful place for a wedding anniversary dinner! We have visited Il Fornetto many times over the years & it was a pleasure to return for a quiet40th anniversary dinner. Service Food Ambience & the personal welcome of the owner. They have it nailed! The expresso at the end was a welcome Italian memory!View more

L'emplacement est pittoresque d'un bord de l'eau, belle vue & brise du bord de l'eau. La serveuse Émily nous a très bien accueilli. Très gentille & serviable. Elle répondait à nos questions & elle s'assure d'un bon service offert. Cependant, payer 27$ pour un petit plat de fettucine alfredo, c'est décevant. De plus, le plat manquait clairement de saveur, ça goutait à peine la crème, les pâtes étaient fades & même en ajoutant poivre & parmasen ça ne changeait pas grand chose. Pour un restaurant Italien, j'ai été déçu d'apprendre qu'ils coupent leur huile d'olive, qu'ils appliquent partout, avec de l'huile de tournesol... ce qui nuit grandement à la qualité offerte & de possibles allergènes. Relativement bruiyant mais pas assez pour ne pas s'entendre. Aucune chance de reveniView more
