iL FORNO Pärnu mnt. — Restaurant in Tallinn

The restaurant is located within walking distance from Vabaduse Valjak. Not that huge, yet cosy. Ordered Il Forno pizza and a glass of wine. Luckily, I was too hungry, so I was able to finish the pizza off. Rich in taste, with pancetta and salami, high quality cheese, this pizza made my day. Perfectly balanced, and dining in was a perk. The pizza was just straight from the oven. Paired this pizza with a glass of red. And that was a perfect combination. A truly nice wine, rich and full-bodied. Definitely recommend that one, you won't regret! By the way, limoncello here is to die for. Never have I tried this Italian miracle which tasted like heaven on earth. The service is really friendly, somehow makes you feel at home. You can clearly see that the owners put their soul to this place. And this is a wonderful part of Italy in Tallinn. Highly recommend this amazing place. Next time coming back to try an Italian espresso with tiramisu. Overall, this was a superb dining experience. The place where the owners care for their customers. I wish there would be more restaurants...

Devil is in the details and unfortunately this place doesn’t stand up to the high expectations of authenticity.

The pizzas have oregano on top making them all taste like… oregano. Far from being common in pizzas in Italy, I wish I could have at least chosen to have it or not. The dough is a fast ferment and doesn’t stand to the high standards that we are getting used to in Tallinn. Not great, not terrible. They are served on a paper sheet, which means that when you cut your pizza you are likely to cut and eat some paper too. I ate some paper, didn’t taste good. I wish they would use normal plates. Price/quality not really balanced: most pizzas are above 12€ and just feel overpriced.

Overall the place has potential to be great but needs to improve on...

After reading reviews here, i thought it will be top class pizzeria in Tallin. Unfortunately pizza was really not resembling real Napoletana pizza, that we tried so many times in Italy. Furthermore, pizza was baked just on sides, center was damp and dough was unbaked.. topping was also average..the price ~ 16 euro/ pizza.. in addition the owner was there but did not even lift a head when we came in/ dinned/ and left(was sitting at nearby table- seemed arogant..not typical for warm italians..) and watched youtube all time :) maybe tired after day..thta an observation. But waitress was very friendly and helpful. No snacks/ salads after 8 p.m was also strange to discover.. so just...
