Posted by Justin Havre Real Estate Team on Tuesday, April 28th, 2015 at 10:18am.
Established in 2012, Il Forno offers true Italian food. The word Il Forno is Italian for, “The Oven.” Owners Sal and Anna Maria Monnas, believe in using quality ingredients that are fresh. They want patrons to visit their restaurant and feel like they have taken a trip to Napoli, Italy.
The Kitchen
The kitchen has an oversized clay oven, which is heated with wood. The oven is in a domed shape, which allows the temperature to circulate up and down. This ensures that the pizza is thoroughly baked, and gives it the one-of-a-kind flavour that guest rave about. The oven will hit a maximum of 800 degrees Fahrenheit. This allows a pizza to be cooked within three minutes.
On the main level of the restaurant, you will find the Pizzeria. Here their menu includes salad, soups, pizza, pasta, veal, chicken, steak and much more. If you are looking for something more than just casual dining, you can join the party upstairs at the Ristorante Rose Rosse. Here you will indulge in a true Italian feast. Your meal will be prepared table side, with a full pasta and Italian menu to choose from.
