il Fornetto

Ate here recently. I was disappointed that I was not given the table I had requested since I had made the reservation well in advance. The staff was very courteous. However, the food was mediocre. My soup was tasteless. My main dish looked promising. The portion was generous and the food was attractively plated. However, it looked better than it tasted. I had a chicken dish and it was surprisingly bland. Also, it was on the cold side and I am not usually that fussy about temperature. I don't care if the food is not steaming hot but my food shouldn't taste like it has been cooling on a counter for 15 minutes. I had the warm chocolate cake with ice cream and it was OK but not outstanding. Others in my party were underwhelmed as well. I definitely feel there are restaurants in Brooklyn that serve better food and I will spending my money at those establishments. Pros: nice water view, attentive service Cons: food is average more

a pleasurable dining experience, whether on a romantic date, celebrating and event or dining with your family. Great food, staff, location and parking. Thumbs up Pros: location, parking and food Cons: non more

My first time. This place is real. Genuine hospitality from the staff and great food. You gotta try it. more

FOOD IS OKAY. SERVICE IS SO-SO. CUSTOMERS ARE FRIENDLY SINCE WE ALL KNOW EACH OTHER BECAUSE OF THE OTB THERE. BIGGEST GRIPE...LOSE THE IPOD MUSIC AT THE BAR AREA. Pros: nice people Cons: music at the bar must be changed more

I agree more with first review about the service having issues, a gift certificate that I recently purchased was not honored beyond my beleif, and management was saying it was not going to be honored because the source it was purchased from was a mistake, but my gripe is that I paid money for that certificate and managment made no effort to compensate us at all, I refuse to go back to venue that does not care if there customers leave feeling bad. Cons: Bad management more

Last Friday I treated my family to dinner at il Fornetto. The minute I walked in I was greeted with a warm welcome and seated immediately. The view of the boats and birds passing was spectacular. The service was great and the food was even better and the desserts are to die for. I would highly recommend this restaurant and catering hall. As for myself I decided to book my sisters bridal shower in there banquet room (Veranda). As we were leaving and the sun was going down on the water the Veranda room was elegant and calming. This is the best restaurant I have been to in Sheepshead Bay. Pros: Service, Food, Atmosphere Cons: Nothing more

Dining room over the water - on a sunny afternoon/evening, it is really pretty. The food is consistenly good, and at times, better than average. Service has some issues. more
