    Fun and upbeat location for brunch with friends. The menu has a unique variety for breakfast and lunch. The avocado toast was YUM! Cocktails were equally wonderful.

    Highly recommend Forno! We went for a girls night dinner and had exceptional service, great drinks and the food was amazing. The only problem we had was my daughter is highly allergic to pumpkin and we ordered the avocado bruschetta without knowing there were pepitas on it. Luckily she only ate a little bit before realizing.

    Service was impeccable as we had a show to get to & everything came out very fast. Food was good, however the calamari was over breaded and loaded with pepper. Almost made it unable to eat. The music was very loud and club like. Honestly our server made up for almost everything with her friendly unobtrusive attitude.

    Loved everything from the drinks, food, and service. Only complaint was the booths. Holy cow the booth seats are deep. I felt like once I sat I couldn’t get back up! Overall a wonderful time.
