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.

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!View more

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!View more

Good food priced accordingly. They didn't allow to change noodle type which makes you wonder if the whole dish is precooked? Although service was very good, you do feel very rushed to order, eat & leave. I understand it's a busy restaurant, however I don't think it's fair to be rushed when you haven't even went over your time.View more

Une expérience spectaculaire du début à la fin.
Il Fornetto nous a agréablement surpris avec une combinaison parfaite de saveurs, d'ambiance & de service. Nous avons commandé des scaloppini, des cannelloni, une pizza Américaine & des pâtes puttanesca - chaque plat était parfaitement préparé, savoureux & présenté avec soin.
Le service était impeccable. Le personnel était chaleureux, attentionné & a su interagir naturellement en français, anglais & même en espagnol, ce qui a rendu l'expérience encore plus conviviale & personnalisée.
L'ambiance du restaurant est à la fois élégante & détendue, avec une magnifique vue sur le canal si vous choisissez la terrasse. Parfait pour un dîner en couple ou une sortie entre amis ou en famille.
Un véritable coup de coeur pour ceux qui recherchent une cuisine italienne authentique à Lachine.
Nous reviendrons sans hésiter!View more

Been here several times over the years & always good. It still was this time but quality just seemed lower this time for all 4 of us. Good but not great & yet still cost several hundred dollars. Sticking to the pizza next time.View more
