Reviews For Fornino

Excellent food and service. I’ve been their regular customer since 2019. The restaurant is located at a nice location and the ambience of the restaurant is really nice. I really like their margarita pizza, pastas and deserts. If you’re looking to spend a beautiful evening with your friends and special someone this place is the one I would really recommend to you. They can also customize the food according to the need.

Delicious! This is my second time here I have not disappointed. The first time I got a salad with fruit as a dinner and it was great. This time I got the chicken chimichurri picante as pictured, it was a wonderful option. Food was delicious, service was good, and they have an expensive drink menu.

Honestly a hidden gem for Italian food in Guadalajara. Was not expecting this type of just solid italian food. Highly recommend.

Excellent pasta here. It's slightly difficult to find "authentic" Italian sauces and pasta around Guadalajara, but this place nails their dishes. It'll be a home run for visiting NJ/NY east coasters who seek that unique NY-Italian taste. Excellent wines and beers. They carry Minerva (a local respected craft brewery) Pale Ale and other brews. I recommend their delicious lasagna followed by the creme brulee dessert.

Pulpo is really matching with risotto. Amazing favor you won’t forget. No any picky on pizza and pasta with a parity pricing.
