Il Forno Italian Restaurant and Pizzeria - Northside

Located in the north lakeland, this restaurant is quite loud. The staff's eagerness to help was overwhelming, but we got seated and ordered drinks without any issues.

The atmosphere was great and our server Melissa recommended the "Big Mac" pizza and she NAILED IT. THE PIZZA tasted so delicious, the sauce was spot on just like eating a real Big Mac.

I've had many traditional italian style pizzas in my life. I'll say this pizza was THE best ive had in a long time. I ordered the deal-1 slice of pizza, salad, and drink- for 13 dollars. This was Money well spent. Buying the pizza by the slice, having it reheated, and it come out tasting amazing, it shows these people know exactly what they're doing. 10/10
