    Some dishes were very good, others were mediocre. Quality check was lacking on an arugula salad we had-1/3 of the leaves were yellow and old. Waiter seemed clueless about it.

    Brunch was so delicious I just feel the serving size for the Nutella French toast was a little small.

    I was not impressed by the food. It was ok. The server’s name was Josh. He was not focused at all or he had so many tables to cover. He got my wife a salmon dish but the order was petit Filet Mignon. He did not clean the table after we were done with the starters. He kept saying sorry. He was not trained at all for this kind of job in a big restaurant like Forno.

    Such a lively atmosphere. Calm lighting and natural lighting as well. A great place for many occasions. Can’t go wrong with their brunch and dinner menus.

    Went for brunch and missed it. Pizza was just ok. Drinks were good but it is still an overpriced pizza place. Our server was great but it was Mother’s Day.
