Reviews for IL FORNELLO in St. Catharines, ON

This restaurant was recommended by my life long friend. It was a long awaited reunion of five close people. A reservation was... booked with the simple online link. I found the atmosphere to be modern with a welcoming feel. The staff was very efficient andcourteous. It was our waitress’s first shift and I must remark how well prepared she was for it. We had all ordered adifferent dinner from the menu. It arrived all at once and was wonderfully plated and hot from the kitchen. All the food wasdelicious and nothing went to waist. Our waitress ensured our needs were met throughout the sitting. I commend the staff andmanager whom I met to thank him personally for a great night. ???? Read more

We dined in with our friends tonight. I have tried their Toronto and Oakville locations and was very keen to try this one that... opened just 3 months ago. Dan, our server was an amazing guy who helped us getting comfortable. The atmosphere was perfect andkid friendly as we had a 5 months old with us. We ordered pastas and pizzas and as always, they served the best Italianfood. Congratulations to the team and thank you for the experience!! Read more

We enjoyed dinner at Il Fornello - St. Catharines on a Tuesday which is half-price appetizer night. We tried the arancini - a... generous portion of 4 risotto balls in the most delicious tomato sauce. Our mains were chicken parmigiana and a veggie pizza.Both were very good. Their Neapolitan-style pizza has a thin crust which is not too filling. A shared piece of lemon mousse cake(comped because it was a birthday dinner) was the perfect finish. I was really impressed that they have an extensive plant-basedmenu in addition to traditional Italian dishes. Service from our waitress was excellent and well-paced, and a manager came byour table a couple of times. Opened earlier this year, I hope they do well here. I know I’m looking forward to returning soon. Read more

Dined at this location last week, fantastic experience start to finish. Delightful Jonathan kindly took my reservation with... gusto. Sarah took care of us, funny, knowledgeable, attentive, amazing! Food and beverages were incredible and the PLANT basedmenu is worth the drive for any vegan or veggie. Fabulous. Even topped off my meal with vegan ice cream! Wow. Happy guests andwill return.

I initially stumbled across this hidden gem a few weeks ago. Very friendly staff and amazing food. The whole space has such a... great vibe. Very modern and classy. My favourite dish thus far definitely must be the chicken parmigiana. Great selection ofpizza and pasta as well. The mozzarella garlic loaf is the best starter on the menu hands down. Highly recommend. Read more

Our dinner was excellent. They have a few locations and they all have vegan options! We had the bruschetta appetizer, penne with... mushrooms and cashew cream sauce with vegan Parmesan, and pizza with beyond Italian sausage and SUPER GOOD vegan mozzarella. Ourserver was also delightful. Hopefully soon they have a vegan dessert option, and it would be amazing if they offered some of thestuffed pasta options that they have at the other location, like vegan manicotti or lasagna!
