IL Forno Bakery — Restaurant in Fortuna

Vanilla glazed sprinkle donut. Very soft with a slight chew. Really good and deceiving, we didn't think much of it looking at it in the case but got it anyway and really enjoyed it. We would come back for more donuts for sure! Blueberry cheese Danish. Nothing special but tasty nonetheless. Wouldn't have to get again. Not a great ratio of pastry to fruit/ cheese filling. Overall we were very happy with our goodies and will be returning if our travels lead us back nearby!

Back for another visit!

Glazed donut- maybe not as good as memory said,but still delicious. Annoying little marble sprinkles though that hurt my teeth. Delicious.

Chocolate glazed donut- great texture, really tasty chocolate

Choc chip almond coconut Nutella scone- excellent. Really really good. Moist with a great texture. Wonderful flavor. Would absolutely get again.

Choc cake- I thought it was amazing. Whitney said the cake itself lacked flavor but that the icing was delicious. I wouldn't hesitate to get again.

Almond croissant - tons of filling. Tasty croissant with slightly dry, crispy edges. Very good. Would get again.

Biscuits- 10/10. So good. Moist, flavorful, large,...

I didn’t know what to expect when I walked in around noon—most of the pastries were already gone, which told me right away how popular this place must be. To my surprise, Il Forno also offers sandwiches like panini and quiches. I wish I had picked up one of each to bring back to San Jose, but I was already stuffed from our long road trip from Shasta to Humboldt County.

What truly caught my eye were the pistachio cannoli, pecan bars, and cheesecake. I grabbed them to-go, and the moment I bit into the cannoli back in the car, I was in food heaven. Honestly, it’s one of the best cannolis I’ve ever had—each bite was so good it almost made me tear up. The pecan bars were incredible too, and enjoying them later at home in San Jose with a fresh pour-over coffee made the experience even better.

This little bustling town is lucky to have such an authentic Italian American bakery. A true gem worth the stop when you are in...

I’ve been in a few times and it’s always so inviting and the ladies are so nice. But this last time, the customer service was so bad. There was a woman working ( thin build, dark brown/black hair.) Super rude. Didn’t even say hello when I walked up. Then proceeded to walk to the back when I was mid-sentence ordering. Then came back and seemed so irritated that she had to wait on me. Probably the most unfriendly, unwelcoming vibe I have ever encountered. There’s a shorter girl with an arm sleeve tattoo that I LOVE. She’s always so happy and always gets my order right. So from now on I’ll probably only go there when she is working. I do love their food, so I’m not going to let one bad...
