IL FORNO

The True Italian Taste & More

Our Menu

Il Forno is built around the true Italian taste — pizza from the oven, fresh pasta, risotto-style bakes, Italian salads, and classic flavours like carpaccio, napolitana and parmigiano. We also serve generous grills, peri-peri favourites, seafood and South African specials, so there is something for the whole family. Every dish is prepared to order (not pre-cooked), Mediterranean-style with a splash of home.

Feel at home… Away from home!
