Il Forno - Santa Monica

We had an early dinner on New Year's Eve and I had a Chicken dish and pizza which was excellent . Our server Ryan provided wonderful service, There was a lot of room between tables and eating outside was so nice was comfortable and relaxing. Recommend .

We made a mistake but did not regret the outcome Family dinner planned, and I thought the reservation I made was for a place close to the water that we visited a few years ago (Italian, Santa Monica). Anyhow, we drove to this place, which is nowhere near the water and frankly the location is not awe inspiring. But we kept our committment to this reservation and walked into warily, The Ossobuco was pretty decent, our pasta was very good but the pizza was subpar. Bruschetta was plentiful and very tasty. The place is comfortable inside. All in all, not a bad outcome for a mistake, and this place is a solid neighborhood place for dining.

Came in for a ladies' dinner, and I had the warmest welcoming and the most attentive service. Yes, go here. Yes, completely worth it and delicious. We are comimg back for sure

One of our neighborhood favorites. Staff are always warm and friendly. Food is delicious and you feel at home here.

Good choice for the area if you don 't want junky food. My pasta and my husbands was on point. Definitely tasted homemade as advertised. The sauce was meh . Other tables had bread which we noticed as we were leaving but we weren 't offered any. My teenager didn 't like the pizza at all which was a waste of , it didn 't seem fully cooked through (my husband tried a piece). So I 'd say this is a solid 3.5 star stop but order pasta!
