About this restaurant

  • Great for happy hour
  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
Anchoring Saratoga's vibrant downtown Forno Bistro is a family-owned bistro that offers a variety of rustic, Tuscan-style food rooted in tradition. Our chef's use only the freshest seasonal ingredients to prepare dishes with respect to their flavors, appearance and aroma. The menu is sophisticated but approachable, expressing the sense of hearth and home that defines the Tuscan style of life. Forno Bistro's rustic, Tuscan-style food is hearty and unpretentious with sophisticated flavors rooted in tradition and always open to new interpretations and adaptations. Many of our dishes are greatly influenced by the use of the wood-fired oven: homemade pizzas, sautéed calamari, and wood-fired towers of vegetables. The oven is always the inspiration.

    We had a lovely meal at Forno. It is a lively restaurant with a fun vibe so not necessarily the spot for a quiet conversation. Great food and wonderful service.

    Tried a new pizza and it was delicious. The Casa salad is always fabulous too. And as usual a perfect Saturday night vibe 👍

    Safe place for our kiddos with nut allergies. Scratch kitchen. On the pricier side for the budget conscious, but always a great meal.

    My wife and I had dinner and a bottle of wine here for our wedding anniversary. The food, wine, and service were excellent. The table for two was very small, and the noise was slightly louder than we’d prefer, but the overall experience was very positive.
