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.

Great place, decent prices, awesome location. We had a lovely waitress & had a great time.

Un endroit sympathique mais qui ne donne pas l'heure juste quand on pose une question sur le menu table d'hôte si on demande une variante. De plus, ne demandez pas une eau chaude citron à la fin du repas, ils vous factureront 2,50$ sans vous en aviser auparavant!!!

It's such a beautiful spot-inside & out! No matter where you sit, the atmosphere is warm & inviting. You'll truly enjoy it, whether you're on a date night or a family outing. Our favorite spots are upstairs & on the terraces, offering the perfect ambiance. Everything we've tried so far has been delicious-no complaints at all. The food is filling, flavorful, & perfectly suited to the setting. While the drinks aren't their strongest point, it's still absolutely worth it. I could go back again & again & never get tired of it!

One of the best pizza spot nice location but the customer service of the waitress should be improved. So I am rating only the food & location 5 Stars!

Nous avons passé une excellente soirée chez Il Fornetto. L'accueil était chaleureux, le service attentionné & la nourriture délicieuse. Les plats étaient savoureux, bien présentés, & l'ambiance agréable pour un souper détendu. Une belle adresse à découvrir !

Guylaine & Jasmine were absolutely the most welcoming & competent of servers. Even though the restaurant was very busy & the terrace was full, we were served as if we were the only ones. Fish well prepared, lots of crispy veggies. Eggplant appetizer is outstanding. Tiramisu made fresh every day. Price very reasonable. One of the nicest terraces on the Island of Montreal. It in has a first class view on the Lachine Canal. We will return often.

Mashallah! Great place to dine. Showed up with a five-person party without a reservation on a Sunday afternoon & got seated in less than 10 minutes. Waited by a very polite & courteous set of serving staff.
The food came in quickly & turned out to be amazing. It was very delicious & full of flavours.
The restaurant's ambiance was very pleasing. Calm, serene outdoor seating is available next to the canal. It is an excellent choice for first dates, group gatherings & Tinder dates.
Kid-friendly.

We had an outstanding family meal at Il Fornetto. We were fortunate to have a table on the second floor in a lovely room with a fabulous view of the canal. The staff was, as has always been our experience, very friendly amd accommodating. Service was prompt & helpful in every way possible (as we were with 2 young boys). Our cocktails were perfect as was every part of our meal, from appetizers to mains. My grandsons loved their spaghetti bolognese & we all loved our calamari, salad, spaghetti puttanesca, linguini alle vongole & my veal piccata al limone were all delicious! We were too full for dessert but we will definitely try to save some room for it when we return. We have never had anything but a fantastic meal at Il Fornetto!

Great food. Cannot go wrong with pizza in a fire wood burning oven. Delicious & light to digest. Appetizers were spot on too.
Yvonne
Lovely view & excellent service. Had a great time. Pizza & salad were delicious, the bread was cold & hard, I think they could have done better. Overall it was great & I shouldn't be having carbs anyways ☺? We will be back!
