Updated review: First off, I want to say that the food was absolutely PHENOMENAL! We had the bruschetta sampler, the bolognese and Gnocchi (especially tasty) and finally the creme Brulee and Tiramisu (another amazing dish). It was what we agreed on the best meal we have ever had from start to finish. You will not be disappointed.
The manager and chef are so amazing and accommodating. The service is outstanding and I felt so special dining here. This is everything you could ever want from a special dining experience. We have never been treated so well and had such good food. 10/10
I absolutely loved my experience at Forno Osteria! We had take out tonight and ordered the Margherita Pizza, the salsiccia pizza, bolognese, tiramisu, and creme brûlée. The pizza was divine, with a perfectly crispy crust and an amazing blend of flavors. The bolognese was rich and hearty, hitting all the right notes of comfort. The tiramisu and crème brûlée were also to die for, absolutely the best ending to the meal. We got to meet the general manager, the owner/chef and his daughter while we were there to pick up
the food. They were all super nice and accommodating. My husband and I will definitely be back for future visits!
We have enjoyed the food at Forno many times and consider it one of our favorite Italian restaurants. The food is wonderful and the wine list is fantastic. Everything about the experience is five stars.
New to the area and heard many good things about Forno.
Dinner this evening exceeded all expectations. Michelle was our server and made perfect entree recommendations for my vegetarian wife and wine for me.
Her gnocchi was superb as was my chicken saltimbocca.
Desert was wonderful and the atmosphere was lively.
Get here for a memorable dining experience.
We celebrated my parents’ 50th wedding anniversary this past weekend. We had 30 guests as a private dinner.
The Via Vite/Forno staff helped us perfectly plan the event and made the process easy.
We were graciously welcomed by the staff and started with cocktails at the bar. From there we moved to the dining room where we had plenty of room for our guests. The staff was attentive and made sure we had anything we needed.
The food was unbelievable! We were served family style which was perfect for our group. The flavors were outstanding and many of group remarked it was the best Italian food they’d had in the US.
Everything was perfect. We are grateful for this wonderful event that will be remembered and cherished for many years to come.
Very good restaurant with great food. The flavors are on point. I give this 4 stars because when our waitress took the order, she said our entrees came with a side salad but we found out later that it was an extra cost for the salads. No big deal because we wanted salads anyway, but it was a bit odd that she made it seem as if they were part of the meal. I would definitely go back here, especially for the gnocchi!
Phenomenal restaurant. Truly the best dining experience I've had in years.
Service was impeccable, prices were reasonable, good parking and location.
I can't remember the name, but the tomato gelatin appetizer was so much better than I could have ever imagined.
Happened to meet Mr. Pietoso, his wife, and their two adorable girls. They were absolutely delightful.
You can't go wrong by going here.

New favorite restaurant. Too bad we don't live close enough to keep coming here often. We got the Bruschetta sample with chicken liver pate, goat cheese and honey, and mushroom ragu. Each one was really good in their own way, but the pate was probably my favorite all around.
I got the tagliatelle and my wife got the tortelloni. Both were very good but I think we both agree that the tagliatelle was far and above the better dish. Portion sizes were decent the tortelloni was maybe a little lacking and the tagliatelle was maybe a tad too much for me (but so good, we still ate it all).
Afterwards, we shared the tiramisu and I got a macchiato. The tiramisu was in a single-serve glass rather than cut from a larger dish, but nothing was lacking in the least. The macchiato was absolutely perfect after dinner along with dessert.
Our server, Alexis was very attentive and on top of things the whole way. She offered the recommendation of the tagliatelle and listened to me describe a macchiato even though she clearly already knew what it was 🤦♂️. I hope we can come back soon despite the distance!
A beautiful Italian restaurant with an awesome menu selection. They have daily specials and a full bar. Make reservations if you can, but there is also seating available at the bar. The staff was fantastic too, providing excellent service and recommendations. There is a parking lot behind the restaurant with plenty of spots. And the dessert is fantastic too!
I can't rate this place highly enough. I had the pasta with meat sauce. Best I have ever had. My wife had the veal piccata. The veal had a lot of sauce,very flavorful and very tender. The place reminded me of the restaurants in Venice or Florence. They even have sidewalk tables. Absolutely superb place. we will return often.
