I had dinner with friends here and all of us combined ordered a wide selection of the menu. I can say with certainty that all of the food is very well made and in fact I would rank Forno's as one of the best Italian restaurants in the city. Our servers were very charismatic as well as insightful. At one point even the manager came to check on our meal. I would recommend this place to anyone! read more

We had an excellent dinner at Forno. [[HIGHLIGHT]]My only complaint is that parking was ridiculously difficult to find and it felt a bit crowded at times.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It was a Friday night, so probably pretty normal. All of that said, our meal was delicious. We loved the arancini appetizer (the sauce is finished with a lemon zest and was excellent) and the bread with butter was so, so good (do not skip it). We shared a margarita pizza and it was delicious. I recommend waiting a minute for the crust/cheese to firm up but the flavor and crust were amazing. I had the bolognese and it was absolute perfection. It's a large serving and I had leftovers for a couple days. My husband got the cacio e Pepe. He liked it but I found it sort of flavorless and not enough pepper. For dessert, we had the Pope's salame. It's unique and very tasty! We could only eat half because we were so full but I'm glad we tried it. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]We sat outside with our dog, they brought him a water bowl.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service was wonderful, they explained the menu and gave suggestions. Food was perfectly spaced out. We had the bread and butter and the caprese salad, tomatoes were perfect. I loved the cacio e Pepe it was so good I am still thinking of it. The cavatelli was wonderful as well, great flavor and pasta cooked perfect. I wasn't the biggest fan of the pizza my but my family loved it. The popes chocolate salame was absolutely perfect. read more

This place has been on my list for a while, and I finally got to check it out with some coworkers for a baby shower! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The vibes were quaint, cozy, and moody -- perfect for a lovely fall evening.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Parking is tough so give yourself enough time. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's definitely a tighter space, so I wouldn't recommend it for large parties, but the staff handled our group with such grace and care![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We started with a few appetizers: the arancini had a nice kick, the bruschetta was amazing, and the burrata with pesto was really, really good. My drink of the night was hands down the Tequila Old Fashioned -- so smooth and well-balanced! For dinner, I had the Cacio e Pepe, which was tasty but a little heavy on the pepper for me. I also shared a Caesar salad that was really fresh -- just needed a touch more dressing for my taste. Overall, a great addition to the lineup of Italian spots in the city. Cozy atmosphere, thoughtful service, and that cocktail alone will bring me back! read more

My husband and I ate here for a Friday night date night and it was excellent! We had the appetizer special and the meatballs for starters and both were great. My husband had the bolognese and I had the short rib for meals and they were perfect! We shared the artichokes and eggplant Parmesan and they were delicious as well. Everything was cooked to perfection and seasoned really nicely. The service from Vanessa was great and the help from all other team members made the experience even better We highly recommend! read more

Ordered: Bolognese (Bolo Tuesday) Parking: limited parking spaces in front or street parking We went for Bolo Tuesday which was a $15, dine in only special. The special came with a salad, bread and bolognese. The salad was refreshing to start the meal. The bolognese portion was surprisingly large enough to either share/have leftover for lunch. We sat at the bar so it was fun to watch them prep and add freshly grated Parmesan on top. The bolognese sauce was chunkier than most places but still very well seasoned. The service was wonderful- our server constantly checked in on us! For that price, it was a great quality meal, you can't beat it! read more

Cute Italian restaurant! My boyfriend took me here to celebrate my birthday. The gnocchi was delicious and creamy. It is very rich so only ended up eating half. The Tagliatelle Bolognese was dreamy. It has incredible flavor and was cooked to perfection. I was not impressed with the maccheroni Americana. The pasta felt like it fell on the undercooked side and it left a bitter aftertaste in your mouth. To finish our meal off, we ordered the Tiramisu. It was tasty and a good sided dessert. Our server was nice. [[HIGHLIGHT]]One thing to note is the tables are very close together. I could reach out my arm and touch the table next to me on both sides shoulders. It felt like there was a lack of privacy because the tables were so close together.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] If you are looking for an intimate place to eat, this would not be it. The food is overall good! read more

I've been wanting to dine here for the longest time. I'm a sucker for Italian food. Finally on a Saturday night my Mr and I got lucky and was seated at the bar. Happen to have an open seat. Great timing. FYI, reservations for both the bar or table is recommended because they get super busy. Even to go orders were slamming. The inside is small but I love the ambiance and very laid back. Love the simple rustic decor in this restaurant. Menu is simple. Appetizers, salads, entrees, desserts and of course their specialty (best seller) is their pizza. They do have beers on tap, bottle, specialty cocktails and wine. I loved that we sat at the bar. I love watching how they prepare the food. Especially the pizzas in the brick oven. We ordered: Drinks: Vigneti Del Sole Montepulciano (red wine) D'Abruzzo rosso (Red wine) Peroni draft Dinner: Prosciutto cotto e Mais pizza Asparagus gnudi Cacio e Pepe It wasn't long. We got our food in 15 minutes. Loved the pizza. The crust was super fresh and ingredients went well together. My meal was amazing. I wish that I could have more. Our server was Alexis. She was super friendly and attentive. We even got to chat with the manager, Paul. Very down to earth. We are definitely fans and I can't wait to come back and try other items on the menu. Plus it's hard to pass up Italian food. read more

I had two pizzas from Forno Osteria + Bar made from the brick oven. I have had my fair share of pizza and these two go right up to the top of my list. All of the ingredients were delicious and of high quality. These are also some of the most authentic Italian pizza I have found in Cincinnati. In between trips to Italy, this is my go to pizza spot! read more

I have no idea why it took me so long to give Forno Osteria & Bar a try. I guess I don't get down to East Hyde Park very often, even though it's only barely over a mile from home. It will definitely not be long before a return visit. Be sure to book an online reservation before going. We did and were treated to an outdoor table of our choice. To start my wife and I split the arugula salad with golden raisins, capers, shaved cauliflower, pistachios, citronette dressing, and parmigiano reggiano ($13). The serving was very generous and the salad was full of flavor. I loved the crunch of the pistachios and cauliflower. I ordered the basil and ricotta tortelloni served with pomodoro sauce, parigiano reggiano, and basil oil ($25). The freshly made pasta is stuffed full and cooked perfectly. The sauce was rich to complement the subtle flavor of ricotta. My wife ordered the asparagus gnudi "Cacio e Pepe" ($21). Gnudi is similar to gnocchi, but the dumplings are made of ricotta cheese and semolina instead of potato flour. These were very light and served in a Vermont butter sauce with asparagus. It was a very flavorful dish, despite the simple presentation. I think I enjoyed the tortelloni better, but both are worthy of ordering again on a future visit. read more

Very good food. The restaurant has a limited menu due to the small size of the kitchen. The restaurant is small and the tables are close together. Service was very good. Their specialty is wood fired pizza at 900 degrees. The alternative is one of several Northern Italy meals. My son and I each had the Veal Scaloppini with lemon. It was very good and came with roasted broccolini. My wife ordered the Swordfish. It was a smaller piece and an interesting accompaniment that I can't describe except that it had small round objects. I would have liked a pasta dish with the main entrée. My wife and I shared a pasta dish with some beef and veal. It was OK at best. My son ordered a pasta dish that he liked. I have pictures of all. Starting off our meal we had veal/beef meatballs in a nice sauce and a basket of bread. Unusual to have to buy bread and it was hard and filling. The Caesar salad was large and very good. For dessert the tiramisu was unusual and served in a cup. It had too much cream. We also order the biscotti crushed cookies with white chocolate and ice cream It was pretty good. They have cocktail options. I ordered a glass of wine. It was a short pour in a giant glass. Definitely disappointing. Wine bottles are 3x cost in a store which is a little steep. read more

My lady had been wanting to come here for a while, and since they participated in Cincinnati Pizza Week, we had a perfect excuse to do so. Their offerings for the week both looked great, especially the prosciutto cotto e mais pizza, which really caught my eye as a must-try. Definitely glad we did too! We stopped by on a Saturday evening and the place was pretty busy. We lucked up and scored two seats at the bar but we'll certainly make reservations next time. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The decor is rustic and very laid back.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The kitchen area is very open, especially around the brick oven, where they cook all their delicious pizzas and more.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The menu is loaded with lots of authentic Italian goodness. Their libations menu has lots to offer as well with lots of wine options, specialty mixed drinks, and a beer selection. The staff are all super friendly and attentive. Our server, Alexis, was fantastic. My lady and I started out with a glass of rosso and a glass of Peroni on draft. Of course, we had to try the prosciutto cotto e mais pizza. We also ordered the asparagus gnudi cacio e pepe. Even though they were very busy, we didn't wait long at all before everything was ready, and it was all amazing. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Plus it was cool to watch all the pizzas being made while we sat there at the bar.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I'd recommend anyone going there for the first time to request a spot there to watch the magic happen. I think we'll try to sit there again next time and there WILL be a next time. Truly a great Italian spot and one we'll absolutely visit again. Maybe next time, we'll remember to save room for dessert, because their dessert menu looked great too. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Excellent place to spend a romantic evening.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We've come here a few times and have always left happy. Everything we've tried has been amazing. The service is always spectacular. This is a must visit in my book. read more

I chose Forno to visit for my birthday dinner and it was a great choice! I love pasta and their Italian food is very flavorful and accessible. The menu was adaptable (could sub GF pasta, etc) but the vegetarian options were a bit more limited than other places, most dishes had at least 1 meat in them, and there were only 2 vegetarian pastas (red sauce and Cacio e Pepe) so I was hoping for a more robust option there. However, we ended up ordering some dishes that I wouldn't have been drawn to at first glance and they were delicious!! We had the zucchini blossom appetizer that was unique and so satisfying. I'd recommend it. The other fried items on the plate were just ok (cauliflower and onion rings) but the stuffed zucchini blossoms were so good that it made the whole dish! We liked them so much that we ordered the zucchini blossom pizza. Again, it was unlike anything I've ordered elsewhere and very delicious! We also split the risotto entree and it was very satisfying as a vegetarian option with straticella and basil pesto on top. We also got the Allez bread basket which was very enjoyable! My husband remarked that he felt more full than usual after this meal and we took leftovers. We didn't order dessert because we were full but while we were paying the check, our waitress brought us complimentary tiramisu to go for my birthday! It was so sweet and she was enthusiastic and so helpful the whole time. The tiramisu was delicious when I had it later, better than a typical tiramisu and I don't even love that dessert to start! I was impressed and would order it again- another thing I didn't expect! Overall, I already want to go back and try more because everything surprised me in a positive way. read more

Forno Osteria + Bar - Risotto, zucchini blossom pizza - Italian Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

What a pleasant evening out! This place has the feel of a neighborhood spot, but without that feeling that if you're not a regular, you don't fit in. It has a comfortable, warm vibe. For a smaller place, I half expected it to get really loud but it didn't and the tables were spaced far enough apart that you didn't feel like you were part of your neighbors conversation. Our server was attentive but also gave us our space. When I was ordering a cocktail, I asked if the Tequila Honey Bee was sweet because I like my drinks on the sweeter side. She said not necessarily but she could just ask the bartender to make it a little sweeter. Later my husband ordered the same drink but asked for it not to be as sweet. I thought that was very accommodating and now wonder why other places don't do that? We ordered two appetizers for the table: the Goat Cheese and Honey Bruschetta, which was simple but good and the Burrata with Housemade Focaccia, which was very tasty as well. Our group of four got three pasta dishes (TAGLIATELLE BOLOGNESE, GARGANELLI AL TARTUFO, and AGNOLOTTI BUTTERNUT SQUASH) and an entree (BRAISED BEEF SHORT RIB). We all enjoyed our meals greatly, but agreed that the short ribs were the winner of the night. read more

This restaurant was a good place for date night. They had really good food and mostly had the seating ready for tables of 2 or 4. There were a few tables with bigger groups but I didn't think it was too noisy. I had a really flavorful glass of wine with the pork chop. It wasn't the recommended wine to go with it, but was really good nonetheless. To finish dinner we shared the crème brûlée which had amazing cream but the sugar on top was slightly over burned. The berries were an amazing addition. The waiter came at all the right times where he wasn't too pushy or not around at all. He was super pleasant. I appreciated the service and attention as everyone was nice. read more

This was our first time at Forno Osteria + Bar. We'd never been to any previous permutations so I'm not able to make comparisons. That said, the place had a comfortable, upscale feel. The only issue I noticed was the music was a bit loud. Our waitress was pleasant and helpful. She did everything we needed and never hovered. Mark and I were there with my aunt and uncle. I think everyone enjoyed their meals, but I can say with certainty I enjoyed mine. I made a meal of one of the appetizers and some soup. I started with the Octopus, which is something I always order when I find it on a menu. The octopus at Forno is quite good. The additional ingredients, fingerling potatoes, arugula pesto and Calabrian vinaigrette, added up to delicious bites, every one. Keep in mind this was my 'diner' and.. it was so good when others at the table asked for a taste I simply said, "No!" I'm not really selfish, but I was NOT sharing this dish. It was ALL mine! I'd order it again in a heartbeat. I also ordered the Fresh Artichoke Soup, which again was out of this world. Dessert, Basil Pannacotta with blueberry compote, was beautiful and delicious! The Forno gang also found someone to take a picture of the four of us outside the restaurant. We felt special and the food was fantastic. We should definitely go back. read more

This was a tough rating and a somewhat disappointing end result. The service and hosts are fantastic. The flavors wonderful. The cocktails well made and the price point reasonable. My issue was everything came out of the kitchen a little off. If you're producing this level of quality then there's no reason for the meatball appetizer to be room temperature, the risotto crunchy and clearly not cooked through, and the veal covered in so much flour it was gummy. It's as it everything was made and just be served not to order but when ordered. The eggplant parm was the only item that came out hot and hit all the notes. Wonderful place and maybe an off night in the kitchen. Would love to rank higher but the inconsistency in production is unacceptable. read more

I wanted to love Forno so much- and not just because of the price tag. I am a big fan of authentic italian food and was looking forward to a new interpretation! Unfortunately, from start to finish, we had issues. I will acknowledge that I was with a large party and understand the pressure that can put on a staff, especially on otherwise busy night. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They squished us on the patio and in order to fit we had to climb over chairs in order to fit everybody which was pretty tight and a little uncomfortable, but I was willing to ignore the squeeze because of course I understand the trouble with hosting a large party.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]This seemed to bother other patrons as well, having to squeeze around us, which felt a little embarrassing.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We started off dinner with bread and focaccia which honestly might have been the highlight of the night. I would recommend the bread service over focaccia for appetizers as the focaccia wasn't as thick as we were anticipating it to be -- more like a pizza dough without toppings. After what seemed like a little bit of a prolonged wait, our main courses came out, but one of my friends did not get her food for another 10 minutes. I ordered the cavatelli with truffle and overall it tasted all right. Certainly not worth what we paid for it. It didn't have my favorite smell and ended up giving me a little bit of a stomach ache. Of my friends meals, I tried, which included the spaghettini, the gnocchi, the cacio e pepe, and fhe pork chop. The cacio e pepe the best for sure and still didn't wow me. I was pretty impressed with the sauce on the pork chop. One of my other friends got the butternut squash and seemed to really enjoy it. Overall, they were good dishes, but not GREAT. I suppose I expected something more special. I did rather like the veal meatballs appetizer though. When it came time for the check, we tried our best to establish the best way to divide the bill between us and yet somehow everything that could have gone wrong went wrong. People who did not have wine ended up getting charged for wine. People who were not together ended up with a check suggesting they were together. Someone got charged for two portions of wine instead of one, it ended up being quite a mess. My friend even accidentally left her credit card at the restaurant and when she went to go pick it up, they didn't know where it was despite us having called earlier and confirming that the credit card was there. Ultimately we just wanted to have a nice night and celebrate my friend's birthday, but it felt like a headache from start to finish and an expensive one at that. From feeling like we were taking up too much space to consistent errors throughout the meal, it became hard to focus on the highlights of the night. Would recommend other Italian restaurants in Cincinnati if you're looking for that authentic upscale feel- I don't see myself returning to this one. read more

The inside is cute and cozy and it has an overall nice vibe to it. Lastly, our service was great. They were quick and friendly... definitely can't wait to go back. read more

It's pretty rare that I give 5 stars, but this really deserved it. My husband and I came here for dinner for our anniversary via reservation and we have a fantastic time. The vibe was really chill and they played nice 90s throwback which I love. The service was great and our server was amazing! Here is what we ordered... Octopus - This was REALLY good, especially for those who enjoy seafood. The octopus was tender and cooked perfectly and it was paired very well with the potatoes with the perfect combination of the pesto and Calabrian vinaigrette. Spaghettini Arrabbiata w/ Meatball - This was so good and super saucy which I LOVE. The portion for this dish was quite massive to be honest lol, but no complaints here. The marinara was fresh and very citrus-ee - it was refreshing! Gnocchi - This dish here was very rich in flavor. I was actually very surprised how rich this was, but it was so good! The leek-parmigiano fondue was so good and paired very well with the speck. Wild Mushroom & Mascarpone Risotto- This was a side dish we ordered that I wanted to try out because I love mushroom and risotto. And this dish DID NOT disappoint - literally this dish was so divine. This was probably my favorite - literally SO GOOD and I feel like I could have ordered another one lol. Lastly - We were celebrating our anniversary and our server gave us not one but two complimentary dessert which was amazing! We honestly didn't expect this given the "times" ya know, but they was so sweet of the restaurant. Definitely will be coming back here for sure because it was just a perfect experience. read more

We came here for Christmas Eve dinner last night and were absolutely blown away! [[HIGHLIGHT]]We were worried about sitting at the bar because we were unable to get a table, but it turned out to be so fun watching the chefs and seeing how they cook such amazing dishes.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant is so cute and cozy and perfect for the winter time, especially if you sit at the bar and have the pizza oven so close by![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The food was AMAZING!! We tried a few appetizers to begin with(unpictured) including the veal meatballs, burrata, and bakery bread basket, all of which were so delicious and gone within 10 minutes. The burrata was hands down the favorite, very soft and pairs nicely with the house focaccia. For our entrees, we tried two of the sausage and caramelized onion pizzas, the cavatelli cooked in truffle and parmesan cream, and atlantic cod (unpictured). For the amount of food we ordered, we left with only a few slices of pizza. Everything tasted amazing and was cooked to perfection!! We were all in heaven! The service was also great, especially for how crowded they were on christmas eve!! The staff was very friendly and welcoming!

Finally snagged reservations here! Tons of people but that just made the atmosphere even better! That said you definitely need reservations here especially if it's a party of 4 or more. For starters we opted for the Arancini - deep fried risotto balls coated with a crispy coating on a bed of sauce. The flavor of the Arancini on its own was pretty good - though the the inside temperature was kind of luke warm and cheese wasn't fully melted despite the outside being piping hot. The Prosciutto e Funghi was good - light sauce, crispy crust. But not as impressive as the Tagliatelle Bolognese. The sauce was so delicious and the homemade pasta perfect. If I were to come back this is what it will be reason. Everyone talks highly of the pizza but the pasta was the real highlight of the night! read more

Recently tried Forno for the first time with some girlfriends - we made a reservation for bolognese Tuesday, and thank goodness we did because it was packed!! They do have a gluten free menu!! I upgraded to the carpaccio salad + the traditional bolognese. Salad was delicious; gluten free pasta was just ok, but the beef and veal meat sauce was very good. My friends enjoyed their gnocchi and cod dishes as well. Food came out a little slower since they were so busy, but our server was lovely and kept the wine flowing while we waited!
