My family is Italian and I thought the lasagna was the best I ever had. The bread tasted like my papas. So fresh. I also really liked the wine and salad. I will be coming here often! I want to come during the day and try coffee and dessert. Cute little romantic spot.

The highlight of my visit was their lasagna a true masterpiece. Layers of perfectly cooked pasta, rich and flavorful meat sauce, creamy béchamel, and melted cheese come together in a dish that is both comforting and indulgent. Every bite was a perfect balance of textures and flavors, making it one of the best lasagnas I’ve ever had. Beyond the food, the service was exceptional. The staff was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu, making excellent recommendations.

This Italian Restaurant is a hidden gem. The Chef running it is very friendly and welcoming. He truly has a passion! And it shows in the food and service. I had the Gnocchi for lunch and Tiramisu for dessert. They were both spectacular! They were savory and not overly sweet like most food in America. It was refreshing! I highly recommend and will be going back myself.

Highly recommend this place! I absolutely loved the lasagna—so delicious. The pasta dishes and desserts were amazing too. The staff was super friendly, suggested great drink pairings, and really made sure I was having a great time. Great variety on the menu as well!

Hidden next to a Safeway like some kind of culinary speakeasy, this family-run spot is a full-body “holy sh*t” experience. Handmade everything—bread, pasta, cannoli cream—crafted to perfection with love and old-country swagger. The gnocchi? Little clouds of joy. The cappellacci di zucca? Literal f'n magic. And don’t even get me started on the meatballs... It’s warm, it's affordable, it's wildly good, and run by people who give a damn about making good food. This isn’t just dinner, it’s a love letter to Italy.

I had the pleasure of dining at Il Forno di Tutti, a newly opened gem that has truly set the bar high for Italian cuisine in the area. From the moment I stepped in, the service was impeccable. The staff was warm, attentive, and made me feel like part of the family, ensuring every detail was perfect throughout my meal and the staff offering wonderful recommendations on what to try. We practically ordered one of everything and the food—simply outstanding! Our favorite starter, while all were delicious, ended up being the Meat and Cheese Board. Such a fantastic sampling, many of which you can also purchase in the small deli provisions area of the restaurant. The fresh made gnocchi were unbelievably tender, almost cloud-like, and paired with a rich, flavorful sauce that complemented it perfectly. But the real star of the show was the meatballs. They were hands down the best I've ever had, aside from my own Italian mother’s cooking. Each bite melted in my mouth, with the perfect balance of seasoning. It was clear that everything was prepared with love and care, and I could taste the freshness of the ingredients in every dish. If you're a fan of authentic Italian food, Il Forno di Tutti is an absolute must-visit. I can't wait to return for another unforgettable meal!

Checked out this little spot in the neighborhood, Chef was very accommodating and we received service almost instantly. Bread was very soft and came with butter and an orange-onion marmalade. Caesar Salad/Tomato Basil soup were fresh and delicious. Gnocchi was top notch. The panna cotta was a star on its own! very delicious and at a great price point for such a good meal! Will definitely be back!

Wow. Delicious. The google reviews and gorgeous pictures compelled us to try out this little local Italian restaurant. The reviews don’t disappoint! This might’ve been the most delicious lasagna we’ve ever tried. Extremely extremely creamy and cheesy. A slightly sour, delightful flavor. Smooth perfectly tender noodles. A hint of meat sauce. And celery?? Incredible. It didn’t have that cheese crust, but that may just be a side effect of take out. At any rate… So yummy. The fettuccine noodles were cooked *perfectly*. They were SO GOOD. The bolognese sauce wasn’t our favorite ever, but it was delightful. We’ve got a high standard for that sauce:) we’ll try another sauce with those incredible noodles next time. We did take out, and the store owners (er… staff? I just assume they’re the owners) were extremely accommodating and speedy. The quality didn’t suffer! Both dishes made in less than 15 minutes. The vibe was nice. Music that wasn’t too loud, and there was a nice lull of conversation. The restaurant is certainly small, but it doesn’t feel claustrophobic. Just intimate. Portion sizes are not “American large”, so be aware that you’re paying for quality and expertise! At $23 for lasagna and $21 for fettuccine (both before tax), I’d say this place is very reasonable if you want hand-made noodles, sauces, and flavors. It was a happy treat for us, for sure. We do recommend you come and give this gem a try. Delightful food, and we hope to sit down here soon.
