Pizza, pasta, salads, appetizers, entrées, desserts - all Italian inspired, all delicious. Il Fornello is justifiably praised for having the best wood oven baked pizza in the city. We pride ourselves on making all of our menu offerings as enticing as our pizzas.
"Interesting" "thin-crust" pizzas and other "consistent" Italian dishes including "some surprises" make this "reasonably priced" chain a "safe bet"; the "ever-changing" servers are generally "friendly" and environs "cheerful", so even if it's a little "predictable", fans are "happy to go back often."
Consider this 3 1/2 stars!
We popped in at 10:00 pm on a Friday, and the staff were lovely enough to seat us (despite the fact that they were obviously about to close). Our server was very helpful and kind to us. Around the table we had 2 pizzas, a pasta and for myself, grilled octopus and the salmon.

DELICIOUS gnocchi pomodoro (although the serving size was a bit small). Our server was not very attentive, even though there were about four tables to serve. Considered dessert, but after receiving, eating, and waiting another 10 minutes without checking in on our meal, my table decided against it.
Three stars - satisfactory gnocchi, unsatisfactory service.
Use to enjoy going here. Wanted to bring a cake to the restaurant and they wanted to charge $1.50 per person to cut the cake.. I have never had to pay for that before.
