Forno in Red Deer

Forno never disappoints, the relaxed yet semi-formal atmosphere make it a perfect place for a business lunch or a nice evening out with your special someone.

Was here with a really large group. We preordered 2 kinds of pasta, Caesar salad and 3 kinds of pizza. They were very accommodating and service was great. Kids seemed to really enjoy all the food. I thought pepperoni pizza was really good. Nice option if you are in Red Deer for a tournament or with a large group

Artisan price > pizza, atleast dominos are consistent.

Great restaurant.

What a great find in Red Deer. Staff all support each other and seem to care a lot. Food was amazing.

Everything was perfect ! Surely the best pizzas in Red deer !

BEST pizzas !!!! The dough is really good, The base tomato is perfectly balanced ( in others adress its too acid ) here its awesome ! The atmosphere is comfy and cozy Vegetarian options: They have vegetarian options !

My daughters and I went for dinner and our waitress was fantastic, the food was fast and I ordered a dish that wasn t quite to my taste and the manager went over and above to make sure I was satisfied with my meal. Incredible pizza and unbelievable customer service!!! Definitely be back. Food

Restaurant is not what it is made out to be. The tomahawk meal for 4 is a rip off...hardly any meat,sure an expensive big bone; the 2 veggies were soggy, no flavour! Two kinds of potatoes in the same meal? Peppercorn sauce had no flavour; no salt and pepper on the table to add to the meal that really needed flavour. Chef kept coming and saying meal was coming in 2 minutes; 2 minutes, then told false facts about the beef portions. Made a big deal about carving it at your table; so what? Caesar salad was worst ever had! Definitely would not reccommend the tomahawk at almost $50 a person!!

Why would you put pepperonis under the cheese??? WHY???

My daughter and I dined-in at Forno before the Tenille Townes concert this evening. Our waitress, Kayla, was friendly and accommodating. We ordered a Caesar salad and the Quattro fromagio pizza to share. Both dishes were delicious. We live 45 minutes south, and are in Red Deer on occasion for errands. We re adding Forno to our favourite spots to dine. Well done, thank you!

I love authentic Italian pizza. This was a disappointment. Under cooked and mushy dough. Im not a fussy eater. This place has the potential but maybe the wrong cheff?

The atmosphere would have been nice if the server had put us in a clean booth since there was at least 10 available, the treatment was snobby and there just wasnt anything especially great about the food,I mean a linguine that has only 6 shrimp and no other ingredients, bland and average. I honestly got better service at mucho burrito, dont order any white wine: vinegar

Forno is a beautiful place to eat in Red Deer. The food is great and the service is friendly and knowledgeable. My dad is not very mobile and tries to eat gluten free. The server we had was very good at dealing with him and helping with suggestions for food etc Dietary restrictions: Gluten free options for pasta and pizza

Best pizza in town and the service was great. We wanted a specialty pizza, but were told they were,almost out of the one ingredient (peaches) that made it the special. Our server offered us a special pizza with as many peaches as they could for FREE. It and the rest of the food was delicious.

Had an incredible evening here!

This place was amazing, cannot wait to go again. Our waitress had been working there for a very long time and you could tell :)

Very good staff, some original menu items, good quality ingredients and interesting variations and interpretations of traditional Italian food. Worth going.

OMG this restaurant was the best Italian I Have ever been to I got the carbonara and it tasted so good! Really recommend this Italian place. The atmosphere was really good too.

Excellent cuisine, very good flavor Pizza 10/10 Chicken 10/10 Desserts 10/10 Lasagna 10/10 Spaghetti 10/10 Congratulations to your social networks, you know everything as it looks

WELL BE BACK! We wanted to go somewhere different for lunch with friends, so we tried Forno for the first time today. We arrived before noon, and were seated immediately. Our server was cheerful and attentive, and knew the menu very well, answering our questions completely. Choosing what to have was difficult, since so many items sounded so good! Our food came so fast after ordering! We had the french onion soup, bruschetta, salad, and pizza. Should have taken a photo to show you how nicely it was presented, but couldnt wait to get into it. The last (nice) surprise was the bill, VERY reasonable for what we got. A most enjoyable, relaxing dining experience, that made us want to come back soon.

We had: Roasted Mushroom soup with potato and bacon, Beef Carpaccio and The Mad Greek Pizza. All were exceptional! They had no issues with pizza substitutions, the bartender was very helpful and we were seated at the bar, but the moment a table opened up they seated us. 100% should ask for the hot honey at the table if you order pizza. That hot honey is DELICIOUS. Vegetarian options: Veggie dishes and Veggie pizza options.

Forno shares doors with Hash in Red Deer. Hash had no seating quickly so the staff brought us into the Forno seating area to get us service faster! Upon ordering, we were quickly brought our food which was fantastic and beautiful to look at! They do not skimp on presentation of simple dishes. Not only that, the food is amazing! Best breakfast in Red Deer!!! Feel free to try prove me wrong or if any other breakfast restaurants think otherwise, bring me and my family down and well gladly give our honest review!

My wife and I live in Edmonton and have eaten at your restaurant previously. Both visits had good service and the food was very good. Today returning from south of Red Deer we decided to again stop at Forno, this time for lunch. We ordered a pizza with chicken and prosciutto and a white sauce and what was to have been the orange fennel avocado salad. The waitress took our order and a person from the kitchen delivered it to our table. To our surprise, the waitress who knew we were sharing the dishes did not bring larger plates for each of us and since there were only small bread sized plates on the table I asked the man from the kitchen for plates. He returned to the table with one dinner sized plate and left. The pizza was good but the salad, which we did not eat, was dry with little if any dressing, did not have any oranges and the avocado was in the salad but was not ripened and should not have been used yet. The waitress had to be called over for a refill of my beverage and when we went to pay I told her about the orange fennel salad did not have any oranges. Her response vague but she did say I ll have to tell the kitchen . We were disappointed enough to email the management. They decided not to respond so we re leaving this poor review. Do not recommend.

Shame on you! Its 2024 and you are offering a milk fed veal chop knowing full well the immense suffering a baby calf has to endure for your menu offering. There is no excuse for this blatant disrespect of animal cruelty, now or ever.

Great selection of meats and cheeses on the charcuterie board. Definitely worth it.

I love the food and the service is excellent

Everything about this place is excellent!

My family and I celebrated my birthday tonight at forno. They messed up my food order, however they went above and beyond to fix it. Food was delicious, service was fantastic. Id reccomend this restaurant to anyone!

Nine of us stopped by for dinner after a long drive, and every thing went well up untill my main course arrives. I ordered a medium rare steak, and it came few minutes after she served the other main courses.The steak was already sliced so I can see that it was well done; I let the waitress know about this and let the kichen know that theyve served a well done steak. However, instead of owning up to the mistake, she tried to deny and say that the kitchen sous vides their steaks, so they look more cooked than they actually are. She said I can call the chef over to talk, which I said yes to (the chef never showed up). Instead, the manager came to the table and said that the steak was indeed well done and offered a new steak. Yet, he only took the pieces of steak and left me with the cold mashed potatoes and carrots to eat for twenty minutes that I had to wait for the new steak. However, they didnt charge me for the steak.

Unfortunately cant rate the food never got a waiter near our table so we left after the people sat after us got serves twice. It was like we were invisible

Took my mom for her birthday. We had 5 different meals, 2 wines and everything was excellent. Some of the best gelato I have had with desert.

Ive been to Forno 3 times now. I have enjoyed each time. The kids portions are huge. Our most recent visit had a delay on my wifes meal so they gave it on the house which was a very nice gesture. They also gave the kids some dough to make whatever shape they wanted which was great fun for them, especially when they got the baked result. I look forward to our next visit.

Went out to Forno last night for the first time, would highly reccomend. The food was delicious all around, it was the best Bruschetta we have ever tried. I had the Vangole and my partner had the Braized Short Rib Ravoili and for desert we had the Panna Cota. The atmosphere was very nice and the night manager that was serving us was great with his wine reccomendation, the mezzacorona pinot noir was sweet and light. We will definitely be going back!

Beautiful restaurant to begin with. Very well seated, the Bruschetta appetizer was not only delicious but the portion was huge! Pastas were very good. Great service. Very pleased.

Food was delicious and staff was super friendly!! Pesto tortellini, and bruschetta were delicious

Food was very good service was very good atmosphere is nice prices are very reasonable

Best this of this place they r not judge peopels with suit chapal every one is they look equal bcuz I do these thing that why they respect me nd smile face feel fresh

Excellent place to eat! My girlfriend and I got the focaccia bread, the sausage and pepper penne, and the lasagna. Both pasta dishes were lovely, especially lasagna. The portions were also a reasonable size and they had a nice touch of giving us fresh grated Parmesan. The only thing I would change is I would add a little more salt to the focaccia, otherwise the meal was affordable and delicious. The staff were also super friendly and the atmosphere is new and has a cool vibe, definitely check this place out

Atmosphere is nice but thats where it ends. Service was slow. I ordered a pizza, which didnt come out until 10 minutes after the rest of my table was served. The manager told me they ran out of an essential ingredient so decided to just substitute another. The two ingredients are not at all interchangeable and completely changed the dish. I told him as much and he said he would discount the pizza by half. The pizza turned out to be inedible because the ingredients did not go together. Had I been asked, I would have ordered another dish. I shouldnt have had to pay anything for a pizza I didnt order. Will not be back.

Good italian for red deer.

We three had 3 different pastas. All were delicious. Decent portion with reasonable price. The tomato sauce (the most important ingredient) was excellent. Would love to try the pizza next time. The restaurant is tastefully decorated like an upscale one. Highly recommended.

The food was great and the service was better a very good evening out will definitely go back again!

The vongole is delicious. I would recommend it over the other tomato seafood pasta which lacked flavor. The calamari is mostly batter rather than the ingredient itself.

My dad and I came to Red Deer for a funeral and we ate at Fornos 2 days in a row because Jordan and the food were so fabulous . The restaurant atmosphere is 100% .They played both the Jets and Canucks games which we loved!!! The staff are really great and you dont even have to ask for water, they come fill it up .my dad just said if we were in town longer wed eat here every day

Visited on a Tuesday evening for dinner with my Husband and toddler. The waitress we had, was what I presume, training another waitress and they were both sooooo incredibly lovely! We ordered the Beef Carpaccio, Caprese Salad, and Margherita pizza, all very delicious. Great place for a nice evening dinner.

It was our anniversary, and we decided to date in Forno. The food was good, as I expected more in taste and quality. I ordered Lamb with grilled vegetables. The meat was dry, and the vegetables were grilled with no flavor. My wife had spaghetti with calamari, and it was just okay. Also, we ordered vegetable pizza, and it was really good. The service took too long to talk to us and get our order as only two girls were working.

Just finished our dinner at Forno and it was sooo worth the drive from Lacombe to Red Deer. Will definitely be back!

Decent food, service was ok.. was mid day the restaurant was near empty and still had to flag down server to get refills etc..

Dining experience was perfect! Service was great, atmosphere was lovely and meal was exceptional!

Friend had a birthday party here and everything was amazing all around l.

First and last time visiting this establishment due to a staff member that could not keep his hands off his nose. Even after he was talked to about it, he still continued to wipe his nose rub it between his fingers and then serve people their food. I was grateful when our waitress served our food and his dirty booger fingers did not touch my plate. The vegetables were good nice flavor and the chicken Parmesan was ok but it had a bit of an aftertaste. The pasta seemed dry that it was served with, but was not the worse food I have had while dining out. I noticed many of the staff touching their hair, putting hands into their pockets and not washing after doing so. I had to leave the restaurant to regroup as the sights there made me not want to eat anything from the kitchen as who knows what they were doing in the back with our food. But the nose picker was the worst part of it all. Good thing he wore a suit jacket because he was over dressed for his nose Infatuation. Not the best service considering the amount of servers on staff.

The online menu is extensive, but when you get there, the actual menu is only a fraction of what you see online. We ordered the calamari to start, and it was more batter than calamari. Next, we ordered two pizzas. My pizza (Carne) was soggy and wet, basically slop. My wifes pizza was very salty, too salty to even eat. We can usually eat our way through even a bad meal, but we were unable to eat this food. The waiter clearly noticed we hardly ate any of the food but said nothing. So we got our bill, and left, that will be our last visit to Forno.

Great Food. Service was very good.

Service is Food - SO-SO. Salmom pizza ~ was VERY SALTY. Smoked salmon was used. Almost not edible due to its saltiness DONT ORDER it!!!!!!! Food a bit pricey for the type of quality

Outstanding service and excellant food. This was our second visit and will definately notbe our last. Thank you for the dedication.

I got food poisoning from the lobster ravioli dish. No one else at my table got sick though, because they ordered different dishes. For a $31 dish, seems a bit unfair. Service was great though.

Prices a bit high for lunch but great food

Called 3 times in a half an hour period with no answer to try and place an order for pickup. Drove to the restaurant to place the order in person and noticed that there were only 3 tables full in the whole store. Made a comment that there was no answer on the phone to the server working the floor and she made a sarcastic remark that she was the only one on the floor and proceeded to throw the menu at us and pass us off to someone else. If you cant handle 3 tables during lunch hour then you are in the wrong business. We are regular customers for takeout and have never had a problem before. Figure it out.

It was allaround excellent. Food was very good, pleasant & jovial service. I would highly recommend. Cocktails were top notch but rather pricey. A classy & comfortable dinning room.

Amazing knowledgeable staff. I had the Frutti Di Mare and loved it. The service was a little slow, although they were fully booked and the phone rang off the hook the entire time I was there. Otherwise, amazing experience. Parking: Lots of parking available.

We always stop here on our way to Edmonton. Its a super convenient stop. Great food and great atmosphere

Red Deer is lucky to have a place like this. Keep it up!

Tonight was our second time trying Forno. Our first was last month for our anniversary. We were offered complimentary items to celebrate the occasion. The food was upper scale and phenomenal!!! I couldn t say enough good things about it when friends asked about it and we ve recommended it many times. We came back tonight to try the pizza. Embarrassingly so, I ordered a pizza with an ingredient noted on the menu that I thought was something other than it was - I am not a picky eater but this particular ingredient is one item I cannot stomach. When my pizza arrived I realized my error but was going to try my best to fight thru what I could. However, I couldn t do it and admitted to our server my mistake. He quickly offered to replace it stating We want you to enjoy your experience! I really appreciated how their desire to maintain a good reputation drove their customer service and ultimately another great experience!!! Thank you to all the staff for making our dinners something enjoyable!!!

Was great food was awesome a had braised duck and rack of lamb

Amazing food, employees and general atmosphere.

The food and service were both excellent and the complimentary bday dessert for my husband was delicious. Thank you Forno for making my husbands bday dinner a great one!

Went twice, once with the guys and one with a date. Food is pretty good as one would expect, nothing standout but good pastas and pizzas! Amazing atmosphere but both times the service is pretty weak sauce unless you live to spend a couple of hours out for supper then it would be perfect for you.

Forno never disappoints. The food is excellent; the portions are extremely generous. The atmosphere is festive, fun, and relaxing. The servers are very friendly and helpful. I highly recommend Forno restaurant.

No integrity: We went there after 9 PM for happy hour special and 50% off pizza. We were told we dont do 50% off pizza. I said, OK, look up their front page, which states after 9 PM 1/2 off pizza. The waitress made us feel like we were cheating them. Were we wrong to ask? They ended up doing it, but we felt belittled because they really didnt want to. Shame on them for wrecking our night out on a deal they posted on their website! Picture attached. I took this screenshot today. The deal is still there? False advertisement!!

Excellent spot, pizza was tasty, and crispy. Great staff. Busy, so make a reservation.

The service and atmosphere was terrific but can t say I have not enjoyed my meals there and I have been there quite a few times. The last one today made me sick.

Great food!! We had the arancini, carbonara and prima verra and they were all fantastic. Will definitely be back.

I treated my family to dinner and had the best time, service and cocktails were top notch. The duck I had was perfect and the pasta it came with was exploding with flavour. My sister had the lamb she said the mint sauce it came with was unlike any other. Next time we come in I think we will take on the tomahawk for four !

The food was amazing. Weve only been there once but I cant wait to go back and try something else. I had the steak, it was cooked perfectly and very tender. Great presentation. I really want to try their lasagna. It looked amazing. Oh and their pannacotta was so good too. Highly recommend.

Unexpectedly awesome pizza!!!

Best Italian joint in Red Deer. Cocktails were great - pasta was perfect and the place has quality and prompt service. Would dine here again anytime!

Beautiful little place for dinner. Finally came with my little family tonight and it was great. I wasnt expecting much for myself because Im gluten intolerant, but I was blown away at the options they had! They had gluten free cake too which was amazing ! Our waitress was lovely and it was very busy in there and cozy. We will be back ^_^

Food is always amazing, but the prices are getting higher and higher every visit. Getting more difficult to enjoy the occasional treat at your favorite places.

Great atmosphere, service and food

Tonight was my 3rd time here and I am excited to keep coming back! The food is absolutely amazing and we love sitting at the bar watching the pizzas get prepped. The staff are all so cheerful and lovely to engage with, everyone is so friendly and willing to answer your questions and chat with you for a second. The atmosphere is so relaxing and calming ou forget this classy joint is in little old Red Deer! The food and drink are on another level of delicious, the steak was melting in my mouth it was so buttery and tender. and the pizzas will truly ruin any other joint you may fancy! Well worth every penny (and in todays economy lets be real anywhere you eat out is gonna be $) but I will say for what you get they should and could be asking for a heck of a lot more! Definitely try it out and by God either make a weekend reservation or go in the middle of the week as they are a very popular place with a finite amount of comfy seating! Our new go-to date night place for sure! Dietary restrictions: Gluten free pizza available

Consistency is key, and I feel like Forno is doing a great job of keeping their tables full by always having a good product in a good room served by people who are good. It speaks to the commitment of the management that their staff know how to deliver. Full stop. Neil is a clutch manager, reads the room very well. That s hard to teach. All this is why, in this amazing city with unfortunately only a handful of truly go-to, put on a nice shirt, nice dinner out type joints that we keep coming back. I mean what else is there to say? Cheers.

The food was fantastic. Very tasty and a lot of it. The service was great. Staff was very attentive and friendly.

We have visited this establishment multiple times during our travels through Red Deer. So far we are batting under 500. We went there with high hopes this evening, and were again extremely underwhelmed with the meals provided. It all started with the hostess, who requires a large attitude adjustment if she decides to stay in this profession. Our actual server was delightful and pleasant to deal with. The main course was borderline inedible. Truffle mashed potatoes and vegetables were one note and absolutely gross. Steak was ordered medium, and came very well done. Pasta had no flavour and very little seafood considering the fruiti del mar was ordered. So major changes need to occur with this establishment.

Such a fun lovely dining experience, waitress and chef were super friendly (was not expecting the chef to come out that was nice) food was amazing and cooked perfect, the atmosphere this place gives is always warm, welcoming and fun. Would recommend getting the charcuterie board as its a perfect appetizer to share amongst friends!

Amazing atmosphere, fantastic staff, awesome food. I will eat here again and again.

Always amazing service. My pizza was delicious, husbands meal was good so he gives it a 4. Drinks were very yummy.

The duck was excellent .

My first time visiting and ordered Wrapped Italian Pizza which was beyond delicious and service was excellent! Will definitely be returning!

Great atmosphere, service and food! The chef personally came around to introduce himself and share his passion for the food and the feeling he wanted to create and I think he nailed it! We loved the expierence!

Great steak sandwich

Eveything was perfect but the strip loin was a bit lifeless, no crust and a bit chewy. Mussels are to die for, pasta was perfect and root veg was great. Next time Ill skip on the steak shouldnt have or

An okay restaurant. Food - Food was okay. Nothing wrong with it but certainly nothing incredible. Could have made what we had at home just as good for a lot less. The menu is very uninspired and boring. We ordered three different dishes plus the bruschetta, nothing blew us away. Service - you can tell there s a real lack of leadership here. Our server was friendly but he didn t seem to know what he was doing or rather no one had properly trained him. Lack of good service falls on management. In general, every team member on was involved in all the tables. It was really rather jumbled and confusing. Atmosphere - to sum it up, really boring. Fake plastic plants everywhere (tacky) we were sat at a four top with four black chairs (big and bulky) the chairs were pealing and looked worn. The restaurant lacks any personality and charm; bland is an apt way to describe it. Was a pleasant enough experience but three basic dishes, one appetizer and one drink came to over $100.00 there are more enjoyable restaurants in red deer, I will not be back.

Had an amazing meal. One of the BEST pizzas Ive ever had. Great service and atmosphere made the evening amazing

It felt like I was in Manhattan. Loved the atmosphere. Had chicken parmesan. It was fantastic. Service was great. Highly recommend.

As food critics would say, yah we like it

Fancy! Expensive! But tasty. Tasty food. Thats why people come here

A place that doesnt post its prices on a menu is no use

We went to Fornos last night for our anniversary dinner. We were not disappointed whatsoever. The food was Absolutely Delicious. We asked our waitress, Chelsea, her recommendations and they were Bang on. Chelsea was very friendly, funny and honestly genuine. She made our experience delightful. The restaurant was very clean and classy. Really enjoyed the atmosphere, as well as the cooks flipping pizza dough. Will definitely be going back and hoping to get Chelsea again.

Top notch service and amazing food!

The best pizza I ve ever ever ever had.

2nd day for our server, McKenna. She did excellent. Love everything about this place. Lasagna is spot on and pairs beautifully with Jupiter, a red blend from France.

Everything about this restaurant exceeded expectations. I have an allergy to onions, and for the first time in many years I had the most amazing meal. The server, and the chef took my allergy seriously, and prepared my food with delicious care. Everything was amazing!

Awesome food. Great service.

Staff are nice and very helpful

Great looking place. But if your looking for real Italian it doesnt hit the mark! I ordered the veal chop and asked for no potato or veg but a side carbonara. I completely expected to pay a up charge no issue there. The issue was the server who didnt really know how to handle the request. She said well the pasta is portioned and you will have to pay for a full pasta dish. I was ok with that. But the Carbonara states Classic Carbonara, egg, olive oil, pancetta, black pepper. Great what I thought but I got a dish swimming with cream and no flavor at all. The mushroom sauce on my veal chop was also not seasoned and had no flavor to it at all. But the veal chop itself was good. ( season food ) My daughter got the duck breast with a side Bolognese pasta but the sauce was dry and all we could taste was bay leaves. Honestly for $298 dollars this place disappoints. To bad as I always want to support local and not franchises. Parking: Great parking

Had a medical emergency here and the staff was very helpful assisting us and the paramedics. Much appreciated! Food was good too!

So accommodating! We were moved to a quieter part of the restaurant and had exceptional service. The food is amazing and Chef Thomas is oh so personable. So yourself a favour and book a table at Forno!

Little loud thats all

Cant speak for the place. Never got seated. Lots of empty booths, but reserved.

Always a good experience. Unfortunately they ran out of the ink spaghetti on the lobster menu Dietary restrictions: Have GF options in pizza and pasta

Fish and shrimp we so over cooked fish very dry and shrimp hard. Pasta tasted like it was cooked early in the day then just tossed with a warm sauce (luke warm). Lobster ravioli looked and tasted like store bought and tossed in a good sauce but not enough sauce to even cover them. Or the frozen taste of the ravioli.. service was great and restaurant atmosphere very nice but food very lacking.

Great food, great service!

Had the most relaxing meal last night & the food was amazing!! I love that they dont make you feel rushed. We were a party of 4 and everyone thought the food was excellent. The chef even came out and said hello and made sure everything was okay. Will definitely be back!

A hidden gem in Red Deer for sure. MaKenna spoiled us our last couple of visits. Highly recommend.

Good

What a wonderful server we had. Friendly, informative and just bubbly. Thanks Sh~~~. Jodi Dore Food

Great food and great service.

Get the in house wine

Enjoyed great meal at Forno while staying in red deer for work. Considering I here for awhile will be coming back this week

Delicious

Best restaurant in red deer. They let your kids make a dough project and then even cook it so they can eat what they created. Very nicely decorated and super clean. Pizza was great dand the drinks were great. The chef came out and made us feel very at home. Definitely recommend to everyone. Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly. Projects to keep them busy that makes them feel important.

Do yourself a favour and eat here. The ambiance, food and service were all phenomenal. We tried the lobster bruschetta, spaghetti bolognese and the blue cheese pear pizza. Already planning our next time back here!

Great place with amazing food. Great service as well, have never been ket down so far. Love the atmosphere of the place too. This is definitely one of our favorite spots in Red Deer

Always a great time and great food!

I had a new staff member named Jenner. The way she was being trained and introduced was so wholesome. I had no time restrictions and let the staff guide her into doing the right things. They jumped to those less patient and identified their patrons more forgiving. It allowed her to be introduced in a much more controlled environment. Kudos to the experienced staff to guide and cheers to those patrons whom gave her grace. Jenner, you did great and made a great old fashioned on your first try. Thanks for the experience.

Outstanding Food Menu And The Service Was Excellent As Well As The Selections Of Wine! Definitely Recommend!!!

Weve tried all the surrounding establishments around this location and Forno is by far the best in the area. The food tastes like authentic Italian. Cooked to perfection every time. The staff is super friendly as well.

We went for date night and had a fantastic time. We sat at the bar and the bartender was friendly and knowledgeable. The food was delicious - definitely going back! Dietary restrictions: There are gluten free and vegan options throughout the menu (gluten free pizza crust, pasta, cheesecake and vegan cake as well). Staff are very accomodating for food allergies/sensitivies!

Wow!! This place is soooo good!! My new favorite place!!

Great food, friendly staff.

Found steak was very tough. I think it was a off day. Time we went before was amazing.

Had a wonderful meal with friends and they were able to accommodate my celiac and shellfish allergy.

Great hangout spot. Classy yet chill.

Fresh food, amazing staff and service! The best pizza we have had!!!! Must try this place when in Red Deer!!! Clean and STUNNING inside the building too!!

We went here for my birthday supper. I emailed the restaurant after explaining service and food was off. I never heard anything back which led me to leave an average review. We normally have such a great time and meal. The chef normally comes around and didn t. The presentation was not what we normally get. The waitress did her best but we felt she was overrun with too many tables. We ended up going elsewhere for our anniversary as we had planned to go here again. Due to no response from restaurant we took money our money elsewhere. $200+ night out for four should have a much higher standard than what we paid where given.

Definitely a restaurant to add to your list, fantastic food and great service!!!

First time at forno. Amazing food, personable staff! Perfect for date night.

This is maybe one of the best lasagna dishes I have had in my life. WOW is the only word to describe it! Highly recommend this restaurant!

Great place if you are in Red Deer and craving for Italian cuisine.

What a great place for dinner and drinks. Sat at bar where watched the game and had a couple of great local beers from Sawback! Bartender was excellent too

The BEST pizza! Such a welcoming environment, with amazing service! Thanks so much for catering to the little one in our group tonight, the dough kept him occupied and also his meal came first as well! P.S. Gluten friendly too! Dietary restrictions: Gluten friendly

Had a wonderful experience on Monday! The restaurant is beautiful, the food was perfect and our server, Thomas, went above and beyond! Additionally, he made some of the most delicious cocktails I ve had! Thank you all, can t wait to come back.

Cozy spot, good food and great service.

Food and service was subpar

This is without a doubt the best place to eat in Red Deer. The service was perfect, the price is right, and the food was great. Came here with family for for my girlfriends birthday. The staff has a great attitude and does a wonderful job Head chef Thomas obviously takes pride in work

Absolutely recommend this place, exceptional service excellent food and reasonable prices

Great food, price and service

Had the private room for a birthday with six friends in September 2023. Always great food, lots of choices. The service was excellent. Thomas, the chef, dropped in to chat and see if we had questions. My friends had never been there previously and all of them said they would be back. We have been there numerous times as my husband feels they have the best lamb and I love pasta. Consistently good food and service. Highly recommend this lovely restaurant.

We had pizza and it was very good. I had the best whiskey sour here!

Pretty good food and good ambience. Good service. Not my favorite type of cuisine but it was good. Lots of parking.

Forno does not disappoint! Last night we had a Party of 7 for my Son birthday. The chef came out thanked us for choosing them for our celebration. Also asked my grandson if he d like his pizza before us getting our food, that was a great gesture. The food never disappoints always delicious. The menu prices are awesome for 7 of us and Tip was 250.00, that included two appies as well. One of our favourite spots to go for a celebration or just a night out highly recommended

Mu new favorite. Everything on the menu is excellent

The staff were very good and the food was delicious. I had the lobster ravioli that was out of this world.

Amazing staff, stellar food, 100% will be coming back and recommending to everyone :)

Highly recommend. Service was wonderful and the food extremely flavorful. Definitely a new favorite!

In the small city of Red Deer Alberta, nestled away in a tiny corner is a gem that is hidden. This quaint little restaurant has the atmosphere and ambiance that literally makes you forget you are in this tiny city. The chef is in a class of his own, and the flavor infusion of French and Italian styles will give a culinary experience like no other.

Great atmosphere, food, service and prices! Glad we gave this place a try, the whole family enjoyed. What a treat! After 6 more visits since my last review, this place is still so warm, inviting and has delicious options for everyone in my family.

Had a fabulous night, excellent service, Obviance was superb. The pizza is something you must taste yourself, I find it absolutely excellent. I had the fireside pizza. For the best lasagna in Red Deer you must have. The wine list it is a must go. The Berchetta was scrumptious.

Really liked the big arm chair seats. Food was very good, service was excellent

My brother in law told me about this place. Or I should say, wouldnt stop talking about how good it was. He wasnt exaggerating in the least!!! The food was spectacular!! Sometimes, it is hard to find a spot with good food, great service, and amazing atmosphere in a smaller city. This gem has all three!! We WILL be back soon!

Was a nice spot. Went in for a late lunch early dinner. Had the lunch menu was very good. Nice options for gluten-free. Would have game 5 stars, but I started with the soup of the day (French onion) very tasty but cold, so that was disappointing

We went with my family for my birthday dinner and had an amazing time, everything was great. We ll back soon!!

Came in without a reservation on a busy Friday night, thought we weren t going to get a table but as we were leaving the manager ran outside and told us they could fit us in! The food was ah-mazing. I m gluten free so it s hard to find Italian places I can enjoy but I was so suprised and happy with my pasta. I had the carbonara and it was so delicious, the texture of the gluten free pasta was great!! The atmosphere was really friendly and the decor was stylish as well. Definitely feels like you re in a much bigger city than Red Deer. Will be back!

Food was absolutely delicious right from the appetizer to the dessert. Great atmosphere and very good service.

The food was delicious. We had the duck and the spaghetti and both were delicious. The perfect balance of flavour and sauces. Cocktails were perfect but the selection of curated cocktails was not very diverse. Service was ok but not amazing, a tad slow to come check up on us when we were ready for another beverage. Overall I would recommend and would go again!

The pizza was great and its got a really cozy atmosphere. Also the staff were very polite and friendly.

My first visit and it was delicious. Love that they had non- alcoholic wine. Smells and tastes like wine. The steak sandwich was so good and reasonably priced.

We had our small business Christmas dinner here tonight, and everyone enjoyed what they got. They had good choices for our diabetic and celiac staff members. We enjoyed the intimacy of the private room off the entrance, and the ability to converse without feeling like we had to shout over everything to be heard. Dietary restrictions: Any of the pasta dishes could be made with gluten free noodles, and there were at least two gluten free dessert options as well.
