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.

Voilà quelques années que je n'étais pas retourné. Pas de surprise, toujours une bonne cuisine italienne traditionnelle, avec un service efficace. Les gnocchis arrabbiata étaient bons mais un peu trop épicés à mon goût.

Lovely evening with friends. We have been going to this restaurant for over 30 years. Parking is very difficult . Good service.

Les plats sont corrects. Les serveurs n'ont vraiment pas de formation, une serveuse en particulier est particulèrement impolie, inconvenante.

le seul problème d'aller à votre restaurant est le stationnement difficilement accessible. À part cela nous avons tout apprécié: cuisine, service & endroit.

Very mediocre food. The pizza & pasta we had were both underwhelming. The service was very good. Not somewhere I would return to.

We have been there many times & there has never been any problem, this time we ordered Spaghetti Carbonara & the portion was smaller & not well prepared, very different from the other times we have been, I hope it was just this time, lots of people on Saturdays

The scenery is great, opposite the riverside park.After the marathon, I treated a friend & her son to dinner here; he'd done a fantastic job! We enjoyed our meal while watching the runners from afar. We ordered seafood paella, beef carpaccio, steak, calamari, & a soup, all delicious. The sunny weather, beautiful surroundings, & delicious food-everything was perfect. This was my third time here.
