IL FORNELLO Oakville in Oakville

Great to visit IL Fornello again. VERY friendly, helpful staff. Vegetarian options: Full page of Plant Based menu options. Wheelchair accessibility: Fully accessible.

6.5/10 Food is ok. Pasta is much better than the pizza. The crust was burnt and bitter. Food

Excellent food and service

Probably one of the best Italian restaurants out there

We ordered from Uber Eats. The fettuccine Alfredo was hot but bland and very small portion for $25. The Caesar salad dressing was good but very small portion for $18. Extremely disappointing experience for the price.

I ordered the Penne Alla Vodka. It was awesome! Great food, happy staff, and great choice of decorations. Will come back soon!!!

Delicious Italian food and professional friendly service. Best in town.

This restaurant is our go to for family birthday celebrations or a relaxing family dinner. Always consistently good experience, welcoming atmosphere, has good energy and a character but not too loud, so you can enjoy the conversation. Service is always excellent: professional, friendly and attentive. Food is great, we have tried many different options, fantastic pizza. It can be hard these days to find a place where the food is excellent and the prices are reasonable, and this place offers the perfect balance.

If you like Italian food and you in Oakville area this is a place for you! Very tasty and high service place that gives you the atmosphere of a real Italian rest. The place based on a shopping plaza so there is a free parking is outside

Great food. First visit i had lunch with a colleague who has been going there for years... It did not disappoint I will return for sure! Dietary restrictions: Gluten free no issue

We moved to Oakville earlier this year, and it has been one of my favourite restaurants in town. We dine there whenever we have friends or family come to visit, or when we are too lazy to cook. Fichi pizza is the best and the service is always nice. Unfortunately, the recipe or chief changed since October 2024? More cheese, bacon now but less sweetness. Tonight is the most disappointing day, the dough was a bit burnt. The waiter also did not give us free bread as starter, I guess it is because we only ordered a pizza this time, we used to order drinks as well. I don t think a snobby attitude is necessary as it is a neighbourhood restaurant. Tonight s experience is way too unpleasant, we would not be a regular anymore.

Megan was amazing here s our rap We keep it light, no carbs, pizza in sight, People munchin dough, but we stayin right. Tie-dyed tees and our drinks got flair, Livin sober six years? She don t even care.

This is our familys go-to restaurant. The service is friendly and the food is delicious. Highly recommended!

Dinner and service were excellent! We were a party of 14 ladies and everyone loved the food and the atmosphere.

Excellent food. Delicious pizza Vegetarian options: Yes there is Food : 5/5 |

The food here is always very good.

Havent gone yet showed up on maps Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessible

Staff was lovely...my mushroom pasta was divine! Glad we went! Id like if they had special blinds on the Windows for evening. Not their fault theres a mall and car lights across the street...but perhaps those special blinds? Just a thought!

What an amazing experience. My friend and I were celebrating my birthday. The food was delicious and our server Devon was amazing. Her recommendations for food and wine were top notch. I will be returning for the amazing service and the amazing food!

Devon provided excellent service. She was friendly, attentive, and recommended some amazing dishes. Highly recommend this place!

Quick service, friendly and attentive. Food was good and the prices were just right!

As always never disappointed!! Everything starting from the service with the smile to elegantly prepared meals. I cant express enough how they care about each individual gust. satisfied and we will always come back

We went to this place on Sunday, great atmosphere and great servers and service, I had a gluten free penne with meatballs and I cook my gluten free pasta always Al dente, but their pasta was al rocky, I didnt want to make a fuss, but I would definitely not eat there if they cant cook their pasta eoperly.

Always love my visits here. Haven t been in years but nothing but restaurant updates has changed and that s great. Food is exceptional, service excellent and such a great atmosphere. They even let my friend and I stay at table till the restaurant closed catching up. Truly amazing hospitality.

Il Fornello is a culinary gem, boasting an extensive plant-based menu that caters to all tastes, from delectable appetizers to irresistible desserts. The plant based meatballs were worth making room for :D The cozy atmosphere and the warm, outgoing staff enhance the dining experience. Whether youre a dedicated vegan or simply curious, a visit to Il Fornello promises a delightful culinary journey! Vegetarian options: full plant based menu from apps to dessert Parking: plenty of parking Kid-friendliness: No kids menu but they do accomodate with childrens meals

Amazing service and amazing food, the staff made it a great experience.

We have always had such wonderful experiences at Il Fornello. The food and service is always consistently impressive. There s a reason this has always been one of our regular spots for a reason. Special shot out to Dan and Hilary for always going above and beyond. You must visit!

The service is at best average but the food is beyond great. Our waiter Jackie was not the most attentive to drinks and extras but left him an 18% tip anyways. I usually leave 25% if service is good.

The food was amazing! This restaurant has a vegan specific menu. I ve had to stay away from Italian food due to limited vegan options, but man oh man did this restaurant deliver! I had their pizza, pasta and an appetizer. The highlight of the evening for me however, was their blueberry cheese cake. It was vegan and one of the best cheesecakes I ve ever had! The flavor was very fresh! They had shavings of candied lime which went very well with the flavors of the blueberry! I ve found my favorite Italian spot now! Great customer service as well. The location was busy, but pretty good atmosphere over all. The only thing is, I wish they had vegan wine by the glass. Those were only available by the bottle. Dietary restrictions: Vegan menu is available.

The pizza and the salmon fillet were very good. They have a good variety of gluten free options. Dietary restrictions: Gluten free

Gnocchi Alessia, lasagna, and linguine di mare delicious! Calamari fritti was very good, but the portion was small!

The always popular IL Fornello can t help being almost too noisy for conversation over the lunch period. Parking: Plenty of parking spaces right outside the restaurant.

We ordered pizzas through Uber Eats and took a chance on this restaurant. We did not regret it one bit! The Bruschetta was delicious and our pizzas were cooked to perfection! The flavours of our pizzas were beyond delicious as well. This is our new go-to spot for delicious pizza.

Vegetarian options: The had a whole page of vegan items! Parking: Lots of spots Wheelchair accessibility: On ground level

Great hospitality and overall quality service.

Excellent food and service. One of my favourite spots.

The food is good and the vibe.

Always a fan of Italian fine dine. Great food!

It was overall a nice experience. Casual dining, good service and decent tasting food.

Amazing food. Superb service. Highly recommend!

Food ans service was amazing.

We were at Il Fornello for a celebration supper. We all had a really great time. Our server was highly responsive and fun. Our food orders which had several customizations, arrived as order and were got! Takeaway containers were proactively offered for our leftovers. This was not our first visit to Il Fornello and it won t be the last because it never disappoints!!

Nice place ,nothing crazy , food is slightly above average , would be great if the portions would be aligned , you get a chicken pasta , barely any chicken ..

Great experience, amazing food and service. Server Juliana is the best, very knowledgeable about the food and made the experience even better. I recommend the pizzas, the sea food linguini, the gorgonzola salad and the strawberry short cake.

Love the place !! This is easily our go to place now being close to home. Delicious pizzas, great service and a humble owner! You wont regret coming here. They keep rotating their dessert menus and I once had pistachio cake which was on another level!

Been years since Ive been. Glad I had lunch here today, Linguine di Mare. Nothing fancy, just good food, prompt service, and nice ambiance. Worth it.

Visited IL Fornello with a friend for dinner. Jack was our server, he was amazing. The food was incredibly delicious. We ordered the beet salad, as well as the kale salad. So good! For our mains we had the penne vodka and gnocchi which were terrific. We also ordered the diavolo pizza, it was delicious. For dessert I had the crème brûlée. This was the best crème brûlée I ve ever had. The cheesecake was fresh and light. There is a lot of parking available. It was not busy when we went at around 5:30, however, it did pick up by the time we left. The atmosphere was lovely. One recommendation I will make, the water glasses are small. I would suggest either placing a jug of water on the table for the guests or making the glasses bigger. Will definitely be coming back here.

Food is good and service is great. Have been visiting this places many times each year and would just prefer they have more seafood options.

So happy we finally went here. The staff was so friendly and the food was excellent. We will definitely be back!

Their wood fire pizza is really tasty and great quality.

Emily was my server and she was amazing. Very friendly and attentive. She really went above and beyond expectations.

Excellent food and service. Everything is freshly made, Jack was very proactive and helpful ! I would highly recommend this place.

Such a cozy place! I went with my daughter to have dinner, and everything was perfect! Warm greetings by the door, super friendly and attentive service, delicious food, and the atmosphere was just super nice.

Great food and service

Food was more salty than flavourful, and on the oily side.

Punches way above its price point in terms of food and service, which is sadly rare in Oakville. A really good place for a nice meal, genuinely enjoy everything on the menu.

Good Italian food specially the wood baked pizza. Crush and topping goes well. Great variety of appetizers

Awesome place to visit for food. Really nice service. Juliana is awesome and best server. Did did awesome job serving us with great smile on her face. She deserves some raise Food good and atmosphere good.

Probably one of the Best Italian restaurant in oakville

SO yummy! I recommend the malfalde al funghi, it s super creamy and filling. They also have great vegan options!

Went for lunch yesterday, I never been before, food was good, staff was pleasant ... I had a pasta dish, it was good but not cheap

Went to IL Fornello for date night with my wife, had a great meal. Our pastas were perfect and as expected. Service was quick and friendly. Will be back

Great quality wines, food was excellent and service was good. Tucked away in a plaza but has a warm and inviting atmosphere. Would definitely go again.

Loved it! I was talking to my girlfriend earlier, and she said shes going there... then I was like I use to work at the yonge and st Clair location, since I was heading to Oakville for my daughters therapy, I figured lets go! Went there. It was amazing. The food was still as I remembered it too. So nice. Thank you

Good food and service but bring a sweater at 4:00 pm.

Juliana has been our server like 4 times by now, and always a pleasure. The comfort of eating here feels like Grandmas kitchen. Love the ingredients and the food. The Pizza is to die for. Typing this.. I feel like I should head back tonight again ;)

Fantastic service and very dependable food.

Food is pretty good. The issue is with the pricing of wine. It is expensive. If you just want to eat, no worries. If want to enjoy a glass of wine with your meal double the price of the outing. We enjoyed the food, but will not go back. There are some better restruants in the area with a lower cost per person.

Great spot. Went with a large group and the staff were more than accommodating. Would recommend

Loved this Italian restaurant. Il fornello means The stove. Enjoyed their pizzas and pastas.

Food was delicious. Service was extremely slow. We didn t even get water until after 45min of sitting down. We came ready knowing what we wanted and were sat down in a corner by the host and did not see a server for over 30 minutes. Vegetarian options: They have a separate vegan menu. Dietary restrictions: Non dairy cheese available and gluten free options available. Kid-friendliness: They have crayons and colouring paper and a high chair.

The main food was good. The pop up new menu needs some work. Missing flavor

Love this place. Tucked into a plaza on North Service road. Great selection of pizzas...all wood fired. Pasta and appies. I enjoyed Pizza number 9. Mushrooms, onions and green peppers. My dining mate had a pasta with chicken and light evoo. Fantastic service! Vegetarian options: Lots to choose from. Arancini. Margherita pizza. Veggie pizza. Pasta.

Clean and fast service

Amazing find in a strip mall!! Lovely Italian restaurant, with great service from a very helpful and informative server, too! Shared the wood fired Burrata & prosciutto pizza...so good! The crust was so good, Id eat it with nothing in it! First time having Burrata cheese and it definitely wont be my last! 5 s across the board!

Dined in. Never again. Way overpriced for mediocre food. Nothing special at all. They actually charge for bread for you table! Food : 2/5

Amazing, I love it

Great service, delicious food, very good portion size.

My recent visit had its ups and downs. We were disappointed when they ran out of complimentary bread but had some for the paid bruschetta. And just when we thought we found our dish with the risotto, the server came back to say they were out of it too. Overall, it was a mixed experience. The inconsistency in offerings left us feeling let down. Hopefully, they can sort out their inventory and improve the dining experience for future customers.

Very Expensive and not the best in taste but good atmosphere and waiters. I ordered the seafood linguine and half of my muscles were gone bad I suppose or just raw jelly. Not the biggest fan of the linguini but other than that it was good.

The food was okay, and the service was fine until the moment that I asked for salt, which was missing on our table. Trish (our server) brought the salt shaker, and I used it on my pasta, but a few minutes later, she came to take the shaker away, which, to our surprise, she made it look like we werent supposed to keep it. My question is: Was I being disrespectful adding salt to my plate..? As of, it doesnt test good enough...? In any case, we just thought her actions were very odd... Wheelchair accessibility: This place is NOT wheelchair friendly. The main entrance is very tight to fit and also needs people to hold the doors, and to top that, theres a small step, definitely tall enough for a WHEELchair.

One of the best Italian restaurants in Oakville and GTA.

Dinned here earlier today to celebrate a birthday and had a great experience. I heavily recommend the beef carpaccio. It was incredibly refreshing and flavourful which I believe is difficult to find. The burrata was great and really fresh. We had a great server named Tristan who was very kind and helpful. I would highly recommend going here whether it be for a celebration or a simple meal with friends. I have been here many times and they recently changed some things on the menu I think which is sad but still have many staple dishes.

This is Amazing place for Italian food. We tried first time but fall in love. Not only food was good but service was also amazing. Shera served us with smiles and love. Every one enjoyed food. Vegetarian options: This place have good options for vegetarian and vegan people. Very good food and service.

Glad to have been here for a work lunch. Staff was accommodating of our requests. Much bigger than I expected inside! Great ambience!

The meatball entree was dry I would give 5.5. The tiramisu was okay.. maybe a 7 outta 10 Overall I ve had better Italian food and I hope they would improve. Food : 2/5

average.

That is a amazing place for dinner. Lingdimare paste tastes delicious. Mussels were cooked juicy. There are various seafood! Paste is covered in tomato sause and is not hard to chew. I hope they can adorn the restaurant with more Italian decoration.

went for lunch, a nice atmosphere and delicious food. shannon was an excellent waitress.

Authentic Italian experience. Got the lasagna loved it!

Good pizza

Absolutely love this place, we ve been here for every major occasion. A restaurant is good if the food is good, and il fornello gets it right. Their funghi pizza is our all time favorite, love their caprese salad as well. Food : 5/5

Love this place pizza is the best

Went there for my birthday because I was craving classic Italian food. I was not disappointed. In addition to the pastas seen in the pictures, we also ordered a pizza. I must say that the their dough, their ingredients and the delicious and authentic taleggio cheese elevated my dining experience significantly. Our pastas, in addition, were delicious and fresh. The service and atmosphere were what you expect from a place that serves such great food.

Best lasagna Ive had in a long time

Hostess and waitress were 5/5 for service. Both very kind and helpful. Food was good. Food : 4/5

I have seen better atmospheres, but the service and food are incredible! Make reservations in advance! Parking: The parking fills up very quickly

I went with a friend,she assured me of the restaurants authenticity,and superb food. She was 100 percent correct. Im somewhat of a foodie,and most times I dont dine out,as I can usually make it better at home. This place is the exception to that rule. We started with a crostini,with olive oil,and piped ricotta on top. Figs were displayed on top of the cheese,with a few herb sprigs. So beautifully displayed,and equally delishish. The calamari was cooked to perfection,both breaded and sauted,with a refreshing lemon aoli. Once again beautiful presentation. Not that we needed more food,but our mains came,and even though we were stuffed already,we managed to eat almost all of it,with a little leftovers for lunch the next day. The pasta was the best Ive ever had,sauced and cooked perfectly. My friend had a chicken dish,which was one of the specials,it was just as satisfying. Becouse we could not resist,we finished the evening with 2 desserts,cheesecake and chocolate mousse,they both looked like they were staged for a food magazine,and so amazing in taste. We got to meet the chef Nate,he was lovely,and so very skilled as a chef,a true craftsman. The atmosphere was upbeat,and wonderful staff,especially our waiter Jack. We watched the pizzas being made as it was open concept,those men were also very skilled,and the pizzas looked like the best I have ever seen. I ordered one to take home,and I was right,it was the best. These restaurants are very few and far between,a true one of a kind,a gem.....thank you all,to Jack our waiter too,for making our night memorable.

Great food and a wonderful server Dietary restrictions: Gluten-free and dairy free Food : 5/5 |

Great service and food!

A good place to eat. The service is incredible. The food is great. I recommend this restaurant.

Excellent food and service

This is becoming our favorite spot. Service is great , food good and always enjoy it. Parking: Easy-to-use

Love this little gem! The place is very cozy and a great location. The service was excellent. Vegetarian options: I had the almond pesto pasta it was simply delicious.

Great food

This was my second time dining at this restaurant and I was extremely disappointed with my meal. I am gluten free and it is difficult to find restaurants, so when I came here after Christmas with my family and had the gluten free pizza and Caesar salad I was super impressed. My meal was delicious, with no cross contamination and my family was super happy as well. I returned today to celebrate mine & my sister s birthdays and was told there was no gluten free dough available for pizzas, so I opted to have the Caesar salad again but with a pasta dish. The caesar salad was not very good at all this time. It was made up of all the yellowish inner leaves of the romaine lettuce with some brown patches on the lettuce and there was no shaved Parmesan cheese on the salad, it was sprinkled on top. The waitress forgot to add the bacon, so brought me out a little dish to add the bacon into the salad myself. It was not very appetizing compared to my first visit and at $16 (with added bacon) it was very disappointing. As well, the pasta dish that followed was awful. The plain gluten free pasta was cooked well but the penne primavera dish was filled with way too much sauce, tons of stringy, bitter spinach pieces (over 3/4 cup full) and disgustingly soggy zucchini and pepper pieces with no broccoli, just broccoli stems. Our reservation was for noon, so I don t think the sauce was fresh. Especially with how soggy everything was in the dish. I tried to eat it even though I was not impressed until I bit into something that was so hard, my sister actually thought I had broken my tooth. She heard the noise from across the table. That turned me right off. I told the waitress and she took the pasta dish off my bill and apologized but it ruined my lunch date and I was angry to have paid over $70 (including tip because it wasn t the waitresses fault) for my sister to have a salad and small pepperoni pizza (which thank God she enjoyed) Unfortunately, I am not sure I will ever go back again which is disappointing, as there are not too many restaurants I trust being celiac. I probably should have spoken to the manager but didn t want to upset my sister, as she already felt bad that I didn t get much of a lunch considering I was the one treating

Very nice place ,pizza and salads freshly made , service is perfect. Will go again.

What a great place, once youve been there once, you will always want to come back. Atmosphere is just perfect, it comes with a great service (always) and a very friendly employees. Food here is beyond believable, Ive been here so many times and everytime food tastes great. I am definitely coming again and again

Excellent Pizza and Pasta. Great authentic Italian restaurant

I had a wonderful experience at IL Fornello, where the margarita pizza, Arancini, arugula pizza, and penne pasta left us thoroughly impressed. The authenticity of the Napoli-style sauce in the margarita pizza was a highlight, complemented by delightful Arancini. My colleagues savored the arugula pizza and penne pasta, expressing immense enjoyment. The friendly servers and the captivating view of pizzas being made in the woodburning oven added to the overall charm. IL Fornello is a must-visit for those seeking a diverse and satisfying dining experience. Oh and the cheese cake! Just look at the pics.

Great foods. great service as well. People are also really nice

Great service and good vegan menu

We were a little late getting there, but the service was really friendly and helpful. Not really hungry when we went and ordered a calamari and a pizza. We liked the pizza so much that we had to order another one. But since we were late the oven was off, however our server went back and asked the chef to do something about it and they made us the second pizza, which we also loved as much if not more than the other one. Great experience and we were not expecting it. Will be back.

Best martini and pasta

Amazon food pizza is by far the best we ve had in GTA

Ordered some penne a la vodka and added extra shrimp, only received 4 shrimp for 8 dollars extra. Overpriced, indeed.

Amazing Food! I absolutely love it here.

Everything was great! Will definitely revisit in the future!

Service was alright, went on a saturday evening and they were fully booked so we had to sit at the bar. Food was great! Ordered the Bruschetta and Linguine di Mare and it was delicious. 4/5 overall experience

Always great service, very consistent, I go here regularly and never been disappointed. Love the menu, everything is high quality and fresh and served hot in very good time.

Great food, service & location. Vegetarian options: Educated service!! Food : 5/5 |

The food was delicious ....

Had a surprise party here for my birthday last year and it was great! The fact they have a full vegan menu with everything having a gluten free option was incredible!

Quality of food and service is impeccable! We will be back. Ciao!

Authentic delicious food, Excellent service And a very friendly staff Parking space

The food was amazing, great ambience and friendly staff. Burratta is a must-try, the spicy sausage pizza is simply amazing and the bolognese is my absolute favorite here! My kids love this place!

Dietary restrictions: Vegan menu :) Recommended dishes

Great dinner out with family. Everything was absolutely delicious. Service was excellent. Will be returning.

Attended with a group of 6 family members on a week night. Nice welcome that brought us to our table. Serving staff were knowledgeable and pleasant. We ordered some appies and each of us ordered a personal pizza. The prosciutto arugula and marguerita pizzas were amazing!! Everything we had was awesome, with pleasant staff that complimented the evening. Definitely a 5 star Italian restaurant. Of note, 5 of our party of 6 were Italian! High praise!

We had a great time staff was professional food was good.

Its our second visit to this restaurant and we had a lovely experience, both times. Food is delicious, and service is exceptional! I highly recommend the lasagna.

Enjoyed the service and atmosphere.

Lovely place great service, but dont get the short ribs. Pizza was amazing as was pasta.

We enjoyed our meal very much. The service and food were excellent. They have a good selection of nice wines. The atmosphere was pleasant, although a bit louder that I would like. Why do people have to be so loud in public? Cant you be more considerate of those at the next table, 6 feet away? Like most places these days, it was a bit expensive, but not outrageous. I dont mind paying for a good meal and ours was good.

I love coming here for lunch and bringing my coworker. It s a well put together authentic Italian eatery. Food comes out looking beautiful and tasting delicious. They have a variety of items on the menu that would satisfy the vegetarian and the meat lover. The calamari is a top choice for starters. I had the ravioli and spinach ricotta and a bottle of Brio

The food was delicious, and the service was extraordinary. One of our party is vegan - the vegan menu was excellent, and she enjoyed the variety on offer. (We omnivores loved the options as well - the Wild Boar was amazing!)

Exquisite Food, Outstanding Service - Sarah is the Star! Rating: I recently had the pleasure of dining at Il Fornellos in Oakville, and I must say, it has quickly become my new go-to spot. The impeccable service provided by Sarah truly made my experience unforgettable. She not only went above and beyond to ensure my dining experience was perfect, but her extensive knowledge of the menu and wine pairings added an extra touch of excellence. From the moment I walked in, Sarah greeted me with a warm smile and made me feel right at home. Her pleasant demeanor and genuine passion for her job were evident throughout the evening. She effortlessly guided me through the menu, providing fantastic food recommendations that suited my taste perfectly. Her expertise in suggesting the best wines to complement each dish truly elevated the dining experience. Speaking of the food, Il Fornellos delivers nothing short of culinary bliss. The chefs dedication to crafting delectable dishes is evident in every bite. The restaurants cleanliness and attention to detail further add to the overall ambiance, creating a pleasant and inviting atmosphere. One hidden gem I discovered during my visit was the homemade hot sauce, a delightful surprise not listed on the menu. Thanks to Sarahs thoughtful recommendation, I indulged in this flavor-packed addition that took my meal to new heights. Trust me, its a must-try! Notably, the staff at Il Fornellos, including the accommodating chefs, were more than willing to cater to any special requests I had. They were attentive, friendly, and displayed a genuine passion for ensuring their guests satisfaction. In conclusion, Il Fornellos is a treasure in Oakville, and Sarahs exceptional service truly sets it apart from the rest. Her delightful personality, extensive knowledge, and genuine care for her customers make every visit an extraordinary experience. I wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant to anyone in search of remarkable food, superb service, and a memorable dining experience. Thank you, Sarah, for your stellar service and for making my visits to Il Fornellos so enjoyable. Ill definitely be returning soon!

The food was great but how we felt from the server is that she wanted us to leave. It was disturbing,

Amazing food and staff

Always excellent food and atmosphere!

Great place to have an enjoyable evening! I came here for a dinner with my wife. It was an enjoyable experience for us. Food was exquisite and so was the wine. Recommended!!

Excellent food! The pizza was sublime. The cavatelli with sausage and broccolini was well done.

Small portions and over priced. We ordered calamari which was barely enough for a small kid. Carpaccio is below average in taste. Pizza is just ok. Will not go back again.

Stopped in for a little anniversary dinner with my partner and we ordered a meal to share amongst ourselves, Pizza and Pasta with the avocado caesar to start. The server was attentive, kind and prompt. She did a fantastic job throughout the evening. Both the pizza (with a modification of 1/2 cheese) and the salad came out as expected and delicious. The Vegan rapini pizza had great flavour, the chili oil was also fantastic and a great addition to this dish. The pasta however disappointed, we both found the sauce to be watery and overall underwhelming. We ended up requesting it boxed to take home to doctor up. Some cashew creme, chili flakes, garlic and lemon thickened the sauce and added some flavour where it was lacking. Knowing the different locations have varied menus and specials - if youre looking at Il Fornello for its vegan options, both Danforth and St Catherines have a great vegan menu and have never fallen short of expectation. Its worth the drive, especially if youre not based in Oakville and commuting to this location.

Really really good Italian restaurant! Loved the funghi pasta, and the tiramisu was delicious too! Local gem!

Great food, great service, great atmosphere. Vegetarian options: Great vegan menu!

Went for lunch today with my wife. Weve been there a few times before and we are never disappointed. Food is always good, atmosphere very inviting and staff very nice. Portions are quite generous. Please try it.

Great restaurant! Service is not pushy and staff are friendly. Tables are not packed so perfect if you still want some social distancing. The lasagna was delicious and portion was large. Totally recommended. Parking is mediocre but on a weeknight there is enough space.

Best Italian food in town, and a ton of vegan options too. 6 stars.

I love the atmosphere, decor, and consistently pleasant and friendly staff creating a super relaxing vibe. And a great special vegan menu with many choices tops it off for me. The vegans and carnivores in my family all enjoy the food and generous portions. Nice place to bring out of town visitors as an alternative to downtown. Vegetarian options: Hard to find a restaurant with so many vegan options in addition to the main menu! And very good.

I ve been patronizing IL Fornello since they had just one location at Bathurst and Bloor. Followed them to The Beach and then to Oakville. This location has had its ups and downs over the years but today happily it was perfect and we will be back soon. Food

Great pizza, excellent service, very nice atmosphere.
