Des amis nous ont fait découvrir ce restaurant & ça a été un coup de coeur. Pour commencer on y est très bien accueilli. Mais surtout les pizzas sont vraiment dignes des meilleures pizzas italiennes. C'est un lieu parfait pour une soirée en tête à tête.

La superbe pizza made in Italia! Ce restaurant en vaut le détour. Au bord du canal Lachine pour une promenade romantico.

Il Fornetto: A Waterfront Mirage of Mediocrity
If your primary dietary requirement is a spectacular view of the Lachine Canal to distract you from the contents of your plate, Il Fornetto is your holy grail. It's a lovely spot-the kind of place where the atmosphere is doing 95% of the heavy lifting while the kitchen staff wanders around, seemingly confused by the concept of portion control.
The service, I must admit, is shockingly friendly. The staff is delightful, which is a real shame because it makes it much harder to be as grumpy as the kitchen deserves.
We kicked things off with'Nona's Meatballs.' Now, either Nona has been severely rationing ingredients lately, or she's lost her depth perception, because these were tasty enough but arrived in a portion size that suggests they were meant for a very hungry toddler. Moving on, my companion's penne arrabbiata was a masterclass in false advertising.'Arrabbiata' implies anger; this dish was more like a mild disagreement. It lacked any real heat &, again, looked like it had been portioned for someone currently on a strict calorie-restricted space mission.
The bread? It was… okay. A rarity in this city, it wasn't that nuked, rubbery sponge that most middle-of-the-road Italian joints try to pass off as artisanal. It actually had a crust. Miracles do happen.
Then came my spaghetti bolognese. The pasta itself was cooked correctly, which I suppose counts as a win these days. However, the chef's plating technique was baffling: they simply plopped the meat sauce on top of the mound like an afterthought. The result? Once you inevitably finished the small crater of meat at the summit, you were left excavating a dry mountain of plain noodles from the depths. It felt less like an Italian meal & more like a game of culinary Jenga.
Is the view worth the bill? Absolutely not. You are paying a premium for the privilege of staring at the water while you contemplate the price-to-portion ratio. It is, quite frankly, expensive enough that I expected the food to actually be plated into the pasta, rather than just resting comfortably on top of it.
Would I return? No. There are plenty of places in Montreal where the food actually matches the price point, & I prefer my pasta with the sauce distributed by someone who understands basic mixing. Three stars for the view & the staff, but the kitchen needs to wake up.

Nous sommes allés souper à Il Fornetto à l'occasion de la fête de ma belle-soeur, & ce fut une excellente expérience du début à la fin.

Le service était attentionné & professionnel, la nourriture absolument délicieuse, & l'ambiance très agréable. Mon mari a choisi les crevettes géantes, tandis que ma belle-soeur & moi avons opté pour le risotto pescatore. Les plats étaient savoureux, généreux & parfaitement exécutés.

Tout le monde à notre table a été enchanté par son repas. Nous recommandons cet endroit sans hésitation & nous y retournerons assurément lors d'une prochaine visite dans le secteur.

Merci à toute l'équipe pour cette magnifique soirée ! 😊🍷🍽?
