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 Italian restaurant in Lachine!
We had a great experience at Il Fornetto. Ordered the Calabrese pizza which is mozzarella cheese, spicy oil, Italian sausage. Fantastic pizza. Great char from the wood oven on the crispy crust. You see the oven in the restaurant & it smells incredible as soon as you walk in. The ingredients are all savory & taste fresh. The portion is perfect for one person. The price is fair.
The restaurant is pretty high end & the service was good. It has a very cozy vibe inside. We came on a Sunday night around 7pm with no reservation & waited around 10 minutes for a table.

Recently enjoyed a lovely birthday dinner at this warm & inviting restaurant in Lachine. The ceasar salad was great & the lasagna was delicious & everyone else in our party enjoyed their meals as well. The service was outstanding. Looking forward to trying it during the summer months.

Great service & great food all-round. The pizza is excellent & the service is fast. We were there on NYE & we didn't wait for anything despite it being completely booked. My daughter is lactose intolerant so we bring our own cheese. NO PROBLEM. Amazing I wish all places could be as accommodating.
