    Last evening, my wife and I celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary at Forno Bistro, and I couldn’t have imagined a more perfect setting for such a special occasion. The ambiance was warm and inviting, with just the right touch of rustic charm to make the evening feel both intimate and celebratory. Every dish we enjoyed was a testament to fresh ingredients and thoughtful preparation. The warm burrata appetizer was a standout—creamy, delicate, and paired with the sweetest tomatoes I’ve ever tasted. I’d love to know where Forno sources those tomatoes; they were bursting with flavor and elevated the dish to something truly unforgettable. The staff assisting the waiters and waitresses were incredibly attentive throughout the evening. Our water glasses were never empty, and each course was cleared promptly and discreetly, allowing us to savor the experience without interruption. Their quiet efficiency added a layer of polish that didn’t go unnoticed. Forno Bistro made our milestone celebration feel effortless and elegant. I’m already looking forward to our next visit. I highly recommend it for anyone seeking a memorable dining experience in Saratoga Springs.

    It was a concert night so the service was a little slow at first, but it did get better. Food was good and so were the drinks.
