Situé dans un cadre enchanteur aux abords du canal Lachine, le restaurant Il Fornetto est une adresse parfaite pour s’offrir un petit moment de détente et de dépaysement sans pour autant quitter la ville. L’intérieur, au décor d’inspiration rustique quoique plutôt moderne, est des plus agréable. Mais c’est particulièrement pour sa superbe terrasse sur deux étages, donnant directement sur le canal, que l’on aime s’y arrêter. Ouverte tôt au printemps et jusqu’en automne, cette dernière accueille autant les jeunes familles du coin que les amoureux venus profiter du coucher de soleil.
Le menu du Il Fornetto prend des allures d’encyclopédie de la cuisine italienne. La sélection est impressionnante et propose tous les incontournables du genre : pâtes qui sont offertes en assiette ou demi-portion, ce qui est plutôt pratique pour les entrées, antipasti variés et veau, sans oublier l’incontournable pizza cuite au four à bois, particulièrement réussie, croustillante à souhait et garnie des produits les plus frais. Pas surprenant que la maison, ouverte depuis maintenant plus de vingt ans, ne démontre aucun signe d’essoufflement. À découvrir ou redécouvrir.
Chez Il Fornetto, ambiance chaleureuse et vue imprenable sur le canal accompagnent une cuisine italienne authentique, avec pizzas au four à bois, pâtes et cannelloni savoureux et bien présentés. Le service est généralement attentif et efficace, les plats sont généreux et les desserts maison, et la carte des vins complète bien l’ensemble. La terrasse près de l’eau offre un cadre idéal pour un repas en tête à tête, entre amis ou en famille, et les réservations sont souvent recommandées car l’endroit peut devenir très fréquenté. De nombreux avis soulignent la constance de la qualité et le soin apporté à accommoder des besoins spécifiques, comme des régimes sans lactose, et l’accueil chaleureux des équipes. Certaines remarques évoquent une ambiance plus bruyante lorsque le restaurant est plein, mais l’ensemble reste largement apprécié pour sa localisation, son charme et sa nourriture savoureuse.
Delightful restaurant, lots of variety in the menu. Pizza, pasta, meat & fish dishes are all there. Nice selection of wine to accompany your meal. Will definitely be going back.
Fantastic food with a good variety of wine with great staff superb atmosphere. I was lucky I was at Il Fornetto on a beautiful June evening. I highly recommend.

The place was cozy & the food delicious but its the excellent service that our waitress gave us that puts it on our places to go back to. She was very sweet & accommodating to our 4yr old who came with us. Made sure we were seated in a corner, removed the wine glass & sharp cutlery in his area, even offered to water down the orange juice & gave him his own smaller plate to serve himself his pizza slices. It was all the small things.
We've been wanting to go there for a while, we decided to go tonight, I was enjoying being there, I ordered the seafood rissotto, my wife the Tortellini, & a bottle of wine, I was enjoying my Rissotto until I kept crunching into mussel shells, I was lucky I didn't break a tooth, I kept putting them on the side of the plate, & they were quite a few, I mentioned it to the waiter but it was more of a oh well moment, I was a little thrown off by that, he saw it he took it to the kitchen but there was not even an I am sorry about that moment, when I got the check it was still on it, & there were alot of broken mussel shell pieces , disappointed, too bad, thought they were a higher standard. I was expecting them to say the usual coffee & dessert are on us, sorry about that. But the coffee & dessert were charged too. That's too bad. I guess they got enough followers they don't care.175$ plus tip. Won't be going there anymore.
Had my birthday dinner with my mum here & it was a nice experience, initially got a table on the ground floor, but did not like the ambience , a nice waiter was kind enough to get us a space upstairs right beside the fireplace which we loved more & was a great picture spot . The service was great & the food was nice!. My only downside was that it was too noisy , I would have thought that for a Wednesday it would be less crowdy, ( but this means they are doing a very good job & people like their food) . We had jumbo shrimp with a side of pasta, Italian seafood rice , grilled steak & vegetables, a glass of red wine & a glass of juice for my mum. Spent 200+ plus tip. Now my mum is in love with the Italian seafood rice & she is asking when I'd be bringing her again 😅. & yea!!! I got a dessert on the house because it was my Birthday!!!!!! Thanks guys, I really enjoyed my birthday dinner .

The restaurant is cozy & super cute . The staff wow wow wow specially Karine . She's the best The food is authentic Italian cooking made with love . A must go to restaurant. & the private import wine selection is truly yummy
Lovely evening, service was superb, as was the food...proof is we keep returning....a little costly though for two plates of spaghetti..one glass of wine a a soft drink. Including tip, $90.00 that's a bit much. Don't you think?
Excellent service. The food is very good. We ordered veal parmigiana & risotto with mushrooms. Good wine selection by the glass. Nice location by the canal.
Had a great dinner last night.This is a restaurant we frequent often. Service is consistent, food as well. The selection of wines are up to par with many very good restaurants, & the atmosphere is great. Highly recommend :)
Had a great experience at Il Fornetto! We were a group of 6 celebrating my sister in-law's birthday & the service was excellent. The decor is very tasteful & the ambience is nice as well. I had a light pasta for dinner paired with a nice red wine.
