Always an amazing experience! The food is always amazing and the staff is so accommodating!
First time. Great food and wine list. Had the Bolognese special on Tuesday night. Delicious !!!
We were excited to dine here, but left a little disappointed. We wanted to order the short rib, but was informed it had sold out before 8pm. We settled for the pork chop and cod. Both meals were good but not great. We had reservations for 8 pm but weren’t seated until 820 pm which is very discouraging. It appeared that were were seated at makeshift table directly in front of a closet, in an area not designed for a table. The service and waiter was very good!
Hello, thank you for taking the time to leave us a review! We are so sorry your experience was not up to our high standards. We would love to have you back in for the short rib--it is an incredibly popular dish! Please email jamie@fornomontgomery so we can get more information, set up your next visit, and ensure that tasty short rib will be here waiting for you :)
Forno is our absolute most favorite restaurant in the city. We go for special occasions and decided we need to go more often than that. Don't change a thing!

Seated on time. My only complaint was that it took 20 minutes for a server to come to table for a drink order.
Excellent food and service.

I’ve been to Forno multiple time and I don’t think I’ve ever had any negative thing to say 🙂 absolutely delicious! The pizza is the best in Cincinnati!
Simona, thank you so much for taking the time to write us a review! We appreciate your kind words, and we are thrilled that you have enjoyed dining with us! We can't wait to serve you again soon!
David, our bartender, was great. He was knowledgeable, and made great cocktails. Food, as always, was delicious. We frequent this place, and like it a lot. I'd like to rate it only one star, to keep the crowds away, but that would not be fair to Forno. Haha!
Haha! Well we are so glad you had such an awesome time with us and are even more thrilled that Dave took such great care of you! Hope to see you again soon :)
Consistently great food and service in a welcoming environment. Look forward to going back.
Hi Robert! Thank you for taking the time to give us a great review :) We are looking forward to you coming in again to see us!
The food was very good but they were too salty in general. The saltiness killed their own wonderful flavors.
Thank you for taking the time to give us a review! Could you please tell us what you had for dinner so we can be more mindful in our salt addition to those dishes in the future?

Great night at Forno! Everything was perfect!
Excellent! Thank you so much Mr. Rugger, looking forward to seeing you again in a few weeks!
First time visit. I'm glad we went. We're not Italian food experts but it was a nice change from what we have in the Dayton area. The sauce for the veal was excellent. The salad needed a little more dressing but it was fine. Reservation was at 5 pm on Saturday, no waiting. We'll be back.
Thank you for the amazing feedback Bill! We would love to give you a little more dressing for the salad next time you stop in and are always happy to accommodate guest requests. Can't wait for you all to visit us again :)
One of the best meals we think is available in the city. Veal Piccata w/ a side of Fettuccine and Caesar salad. Simply incredible with a great wine paring. One of the safest restaurants in town and the staff is fantastic. Special callout to Rachel our waitress who we ask for every time, she has become a great friend and is another great reason we come there so often. Cheers to Forno! LK/TK
Thank you so much Laura, we love hearing about your wonderful experience here :) Rachel is a crowd fav so we completely understand why you love her so much! Can't wait for you to join us again!
I took my mother and daughter to forno for dinner for my mother’s birthday. From the hostess to the server to the food runners- everyone was beyond friendly. The food was outstanding. And we left full and happy. Praying our local businesses, such as this one, are able to survive and stay open. They are a gem!!
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review! We are so thrilled that we were able to make your mother's birthday special! We appreciate your kind words, and we are looking forward to serving you again soon!
Our waitress, Rachel, was fabulous. She was very professional, knowledgeable and amiable. My only dislike was our first course of the Lobster Nero Zappa. The dish was not very tasty with it dark ink squid consistency and color. That is an acquired taste; and I don’t think it should be served. We really thought it was going to be similar to a lobster bisque. Other than that the food was delicious.
Antonio, thank you for taking the time to write us a review! I apologize that you didn't like the lobster nero soup, but I am pleased that you enjoyed the rest of the menu! We are looking forward to serving you again soon!

I will never get enough of the tagliatelle bolognese! One day I am going to have to branch out and try other items on the menu, but so far I haven't been able to bring myself to stray from this deliciousness.
Thank you for taking the time to write us a review! Next time you are in, be sure to ask your server their favorite pasta dish! We are always able to serve half portions of the pasta, so you are still able to enjoy the bolognese and try something new! We are looking forward to serving you again soon!
