"For those working in education, summer is always a time of change and goodbyes and this year was no exception. After a meal at Esteban earlier in the week I found myself out again with colleagues to say goodbye to God (my work colleague not the omnipresent deity, though they have been mistaken in the past). So, on an exceptionally warm July evening, I entered Il Forno on Duke Street along with God and ten other disciples. Service from the off was very good and, in the comfort of the waiting area, we were offered antipasti nibbles and a Morretti beer whilst we waited for our full complement to arrive. “So, on an exceptionally warm July evening, I entered Il Forno on Duke Street along with God and ten other disciples” Some short time later we were escorted by our waiter, Salvatore (more of him later), into a large bustling dining room. We were seated along the window on a slightly cramped banquette, though this was our own fault, not the restaurant. I always find it funny how groups arra"

First time there, our night was definitely pleasant due to all of the staff and especially Ariana. Carbonara, and linguine with sea food are a must! We felt so pampered. View menu

Great atmosphere on a Friday night with really friendly waiters and fast service. Fun to have the carbonara served at the table and the chocolate bomb melted for us for dessert. The ox cheek was absolutely incredible, definitely recommend that dish!

absoloutly fantastic, I enjoyed an excellent meal there yesterday evening, pizza was boiled to perfection and my pasta sauce was just delicious my friend who had the kalbs said that the meat literally fell from the bone, highly recombinant it. Five stars.

The second time we've been here and it was just as amazing as the first. We initially sat down at another restaurant and decided it wasn't for us. We ended up in Il forno and it didn't disappoint! Delicious food, luxury surrounding and fantastic service will have us coming back again soon. My husband is Italian and enjoyed every last bite. View menu

We had a lovely dinner here whilst on holiday in Liverpool. We were seated by the open kitchen which was great as I love to see whats going on! I had the pumpkin risotto which was deliciously creamy, and Craig had the sausage pasta dish which he enjoyed. We also shared a garlic pizza bread which was tasty, but perhaps too much as we then had no room for dessert.I would definitely recommend Il Forno as the food was brilliant and affordable, and the staff were very friendly and helpful too.

Make a reservation!! This place was delicious and I wish we had more time here. We were lucky to get here around 5:00pm and they allowed us to have a table until 6:30pm. I did feel rushed, but only due to time. I’m hoping it would have been different if we reserved. They have a large wine selection and they have options that are not very pricey. The food is delicious, this is hands down the best calamari I’ve ever had as an appetizer. I ate the Spaghetti alla Carbonara and they prepare it in cheese in front of your table. My husband had the Ravioli di Cinghiale. We ordered a bottle of 103 Sauvignon and two glasses of white wine recommended by our waitress. We also had the cannolis for desser...
