Reviews for Forno Osteria & Bar Montgomery in Cincinnati, OH
Overall average. We reserved the table well in advance, still did not get it. Food was average. We ordered multiple things.... Short ribs were over cooked. They seems to be popular for pizza, but pizza couldn’t be more average, almost tasteless. Tablesare too congested. Drinks were nice and service was certainly good. Read more
Great place for Italian. All the items I've tried were very good but the Bolognese is the best I've had anywhere. Can be crowded... at times so you have to be patient with service, but the servers are attentive and friendly. The only knock is that theappetizer selection is very small. Read more
Not that much fancy but they have a good food chicken and meat are frozen , they need more cleaning ????
I have to say what a major disappointment. I had heard good things and at first I thought maybe I expected too much but today... when people are spending $30, $40, $50 per person for a meal you expect better, and this place was full, although it looks likea lot of bar business and maybe just wood fired pizza. Had dinner for 4 tonight and it started off with drinks and a basket ofbread which included 5 slices. Butter was apparently extra. $6.00 for bread, which is a bit on the pricey side and $0.50 forbutter, come on, don't make yourself look so cheap. Go ahead and change $7.00 for bread and bring 2 butters. Come on. We had2 specials which was a pasta dish in a meat sauce and it was very flavorful. It came with a salad for like $13.00. We added a(1) veal meat ball for an additional $4.00. Yep one small meat ball for $4.00 and they had a unique lemon flavor. Not sayingthey were bad, just be aware, not really for me. Another guest had a wood fired pizza, it was an arugula topped sauce lessselection that basically lacked any flavor. When asked if she liked it, after it was obvious she didn't, she didn't ask thatit be taken back, and there was clearly no offer to fix it or bring something else, which would be the standard response at anyreasonable restaurant, there was nothing. She asked maybe she could have a little Alfredo sauce to drizzle on it. Of coursethe first response was ,well yes you can but it will be an upchage. Seriously, you don't have to fix or replace an obviouslytasteless dish and you want to charge for 3 tablespoons of sauce. This was the theme throughout but what took the cake was thedrink order. We had 4 drinks, two of them margaritas on the rocks, one with and one without salt. When the drinks came neitherhad salt, not wanting any additional drama we just accepted them as they were. When the bill came, one margarita was $9.00 andthe other $12.00. Not sure but the $12.00 one said "rocks". I thought maybe they charg Read more
A beautiful Italian restaurant with an awesome menu selection. They have daily specials and a full bar. Make reservations if you... can, but there is also seating available at the bar. The staff was fantastic too, providing excellent service andrecommendations. There is a parking lot behind the restaurant with plenty of spots. And the dessert is fantastic too! Read more
I can't rate this place highly enough. I had the pasta with meat sauce. Best I have ever had. My wife had the veal piccata. The... veal had a lot of sauce,very flavorful and very tender. The place reminded me of the restaurants in Venice or Florence. Theyeven have sidewalk tables. Absolutely superb place. we will return often. Read more
New favorite restaurant. Too bad we don't live close enough to keep coming here often. We got the Bruschetta sample with chicken... liver pate, goat cheese and honey, and mushroom ragu. Each one was really good in their own way, but the pate was probably myfavorite all around. I got the tagliatelle and my wife got the tortelloni. Both were very good but I think we both agree thatthe tagliatelle was far and above the better dish. Portion sizes were decent the tortelloni was maybe a little lacking and thetagliatelle was maybe a tad too much for me (but so good, we still ate it all). Afterwards, we shared the tiramisu and I got amacchiato. The tiramisu was in a single-serve glass rather than cut from a larger dish, but nothing was lacking in the least.The macchiato was absolutely perfect after dinner along with dessert. Our server, Alexis was very attentive and on top ofthings the whole way. She offered the recommendation of the tagliatelle and listened to me describe a macchiato even though sheclearly already knew what it was ???????. I hope we can come back soon despite the distance!

The restaurant's ambiance was quite nice. Tables were a bit close together. The staff (Michelle) did an amazing job. The food... was disappointingly average. The short ribs were dry but the sauce was tasty. Enjoyed the creamed corn with truffles. Nothingspecial about the veal scallopini. The desert was okay as well. I came with high expectations (drove 30 mi.) but probably won'tbe frequenting this place. Read more
