Il Forno Italiano - Italiensk restaurang Uppsala — Restaurant in Uppsala kommun

Great location and we were greeted with friendly service and smiles. The interior was really cute and cozy. Unfortunately, the quality of the food didn’t match the quality of the service. Our vegetarian pastas were mediocre. They lacked flavour and sophistication. We had the basil cannelloni which was drowned in a bland pesto style sauce. We also had the Burrata pasta with tomato sauce; this was pretty nice but was served quite cold. Our experience with the deserts was ok. We had the tiramisu which wasn’t very flavourful and didn’t feel homemade as was stated in the menu. We also had the chocolate fondant which very nice. We felt that the over 2100 SEK bill for 3 diners was too much given the quality of the food we were served. It is worth noting that we were charged close to 700 Sek for a bottle of wine which retails for 180 sek.

I don’t want to take anything away from our wonderful servers. The restaurant has such a cute atmosphere but, unfortunately, we were left a bit...

Our food was forgotten, and this was blamed by the manager on a “new colleague”, though the manager should always take the blame at the table (basic management skills). No one came over to the table to explain the situation at any point. On top of that, for the prices of the restaurant, the food and drinks were wholly mediocre, bordering on bad. I’ve had better pizza for half the price (terrible crust, bland), and the pasta tasted like sea water. They offered free dessert, but we were scared that the awful manager would take it out of the servers’ pay check, so we opted out. Our initial server who took our order was very great...

My partner and I went for dinner here and the food was incredibly great. The people were nice also. We had reserved a table way in advance. But sitting arrangements in these restaurants feels like they do not consider any sort of practical comfort. It feels random and not really considered. My partner and I got there to be given a small table in the middle of 2 other tables that were already occupied. The people sitting on those tables looked disturbed. Unfortunately it felt so uncomfortable. I just could not breathe or even talk. There was barely any space to stretch. We even felt like we would bump into people or their drinks. Next time I get into such a situation, we are out. I honestly do not see why should we put ourselves in such a situation. It removes the joy of...
