Amazing food, we love it. It was our first time but the service was too good. He was very nice to talk about and makes us very comfortable and helps us with the menu. Food looks delicious and tastes very delicious. Drinks were also good. We don't drink alcohol so he helps us with that also. We are definitely going back and trying some more dishes.

Really good! Each of them we ordered is fantastic- chop, pasta, pizza and even for the eggplant appetizer! Definitely will visit next time!

Great date night place. I had the filet mignon. It was amazing. Got served cold bread twice. Mai tai was disgusting. Gin gimlet was yummy. My husband had the chicken. It was good if your looking for a heavy meal.

Wow! What a gem! My wife and I have spent the last several days working at the Aftershock Music Festival in Sacramento. Sacramento are packed, so we are staying neardy in Rancho Cordova. The artists we were covering ended mid afternoon yesterday, so we decided to skip the on-site catering and find a local place to have a 'proper' dinner. We found Il Forno Classico 15 minutes away on Google maps and after looking at the menu pics, we decided a nice Italian dinner would be perfect. (The current menu photos are 4-years old, so I've uploaded a current set. As expected, prices are up a bit from 4 years ago, but not nearly as much as we've seen in a lot of places.) Il Forno Classico FAR exceeded our expectations in every way. I had the Meat Lover's Lasagne and my wife had the Rainbow Tortellini. The portion sizes were very generous, and both dishes were just outstanding. Our cocktails were perfect, the dessert was delicious and our server was absolutely great. We HIGHLY recommend Il Forno Classico. Do yourself a favor and pay them a visit. I'm sure you will be happy.

Met here with several friends. The food and service was FANTASTIC! Pur server, Stephanie was awesome! I've been before and will keep returning, despite the drive from my home in The Pocket/Greenhaven area. It's so worth it! Delicious Italian food

This is such a classic place for Italian food. Everything is so good, from the bread, to salads, to dishes, and cocktails. They have it all.

Had a great birthday dinner with my family of 6. Everything was delicious. Everyone enjoyed themselves. Lots of people working and doing a great job. Not too loud but we were by the kitchen area. Definitely will come back.

Delicious! The focaccia they serve is fantastic! For my entree I had the eggplant parm and was very satisfied. It was very cheesy and saucy but still maintained good crunchiness. Service was also really fast when I went in for lunch
