Reviews for Forno Bistro in Saratoga Springs, NY
Their portions are super generous! Didn't realize their yummy salad was going to be so big. Had I known I wouldn't have ordered... an entree, but I made it work by rolling out of there by the end of the night. Everything was absolutely delicious! Read more
Had reservations for our first anniversary dinner. Ended up being seated outside on a chilly night and never would have dreamed... that our reservations wouldn’t have been inside. Service was blah and we ordered the appetizer sampler. The calamari wasundercooked, tasted like grease, and wasn’t the best. The other items on the board were good but when the server came backmuch later, she asked if we wanted it replaced, we didn’t so she shrugged her shoulders and walked away with no othermention. For entrees we got a pizza and the pasta special which was a ravioli with mushrooms, scallops and shrimp. Both ofthese items were excellent and delicious. Finally we ordered zeppolis for dessert that took extremely too long to come out butwere delicious after it did. Overall, service was blah. The support people (hostess, busser) were friendly and excellent.Bathroom situation was horrible. Constant lines and people falling over moving dividers that exist to block it from the diningroom. Just doesn’t work right. We also witnessed people falling over similar dividers on the entry porch. For $150+ I wouldexpect a much better experience however the main courses were excellent. I wouldn’t hurry back though as there are too manybetter options in Saratoga. Read more
Great experience here. The outdoor patio was gorgeous and our server Brian had the best food and drink recommendations for us.... The shrimp artichoke pasta special was to die for! Great staff and atmosphere. Read more
I am not from the area, just visiting friends. We decided on Forno for dinner which was 4.5 stars. I decided to grab a tiramisu... to go and unfortunately the dessert did not match the dinner. The tiramisu was pasty in texture and filled with chocolatemorsels, which I have never seen. I would not recommend. Loved my entree, unsatisfied with dessert. Read more
Service was great. Kim was amazing. Ask for her if you go. The food was good. The atmosphere of the restaurant was very nice.... It's a loud restaurant, very lively. Not sure if I would go back but it's nice to visit at least once. Read more
We visited on the evening of 6/18/22 with a 7:15PM reservation (needed) for a special 20th Wedding Anniversary dinner. Despite... the restaurant being packed, we were kindly greeted and ushered to our reserved table. Our waitress was over-the-top kind and acomplete professional (name began with a J); she made our evening special and one to remember. She was polite, attentive, andmade sure everything was perfect. The food was absolutely delicious. We both had the dinner special (14oz NY Strip Steak) - whata meal! From the appetizer to cappuccino & desert, everything about this visit was amazing! Highly recommend sitting on theirporch; even on a chilly June night, it was warm and comfortable. We look forward to a return visit someday soon! Read more
