Description: We created Il Forno in 2011 after many years dreaming of opening a traditional Italian Restaurant outside Italy where we would serve authentic Italian food like our grandmothers used to cook. The only addition to our grandmother's kitchen was the building of an original stone brick fire wood oven from where to make pizzas according to the southern italian tradition. We pride to import every single ingredient ( veggie & fruits aside)on our menu directly from Italy and to make all our food home made and fresh daily. Our fantastic team of chefs/cooks start their day very early to prepare our pizza dough that need 10/12 hours before its naturally risen and to prepare home made tagliatelle, tortellini , gnocchi and so on , exactly like we used to in Italy half a century ago.

Delicious Italian in the heart of Siem reap. Good quality pasta and pizza, and a fab wine list too! Loved it so much we ate here two days in a row! Portions are huge too so be careful not to order too much like we did :-)

We were pretty tired and had waited an hour to not get served at another restaurant, we had walked past this cute little place earlier in the evening and wandered around for half an hour trying to find it again - service was quite slow we ordered pizzas, the selection was standard and the pizzas were ok - we did...

Nice place, good service, best pizza! The price is just right... I could go here and order pizza every single day! Had dinner in a lot of fancy places in Siem Reap and all of them were very lonely, we were the only couple at these restaurants! Il Forni has a nice touch, located in the Pub Street, perfect!

I've been here twice and both times have been adequate at best. The baked gnocchi pasta was soooo salty I ordered a bottle of water, the pizza was dry and the chocolate moose was so heavy I only ate a 3rd (and it was split with my gfriend). And the service is AWFUL. Ask twice, then remind, shouting over you... More

I just has luch at "il fiorno" in Siem Reap. I had dinner at Raffles Hotel Restaurant, Hashi restaurant, la residence d'Angkor Restaurant but this was the best one by far, and best of all, for just a fraction of the price of the other restaurants. I paid $30.00 usd for 1 appetizer 3 main dishes 1 dessert 1 beer... More

We had lunch at Il Forno - ordered a couple of types of pizza. They were fantastic, the best pizza I've had in a long time prepared in the Naples style (thin crusts, simple ingredients). Service was very friendly, both the waitstaff and the manager who came over and spoke to us for a while. This place makes for a... More

If you are wanting a change from local cuisine then I highly recommend Il Forno. We had lunch there and enjoyed the experience so much we went back for dinner. The Italian couple managing it are so friendly and welcoming. They have well trained and friendly staff. We usually avoid Italian restaurants out of Italy. The food is often poor... More

We liked the atmosphere of the restaurant and the ambience. The garlic bread was good but was just 4 slices of baguette bread so don't expect a pizza style one - but it was delicious so order it. We had one spaghetti with tomato sauce and bacon and one meatballs with pappardelle and tomato sauce and both were very nice... More

My family ordered 2 medium pizzas, a calzone and gnocchi with saffron and mushrooms. One of the pizzas was the salami pizza which was very spicy although the order was for not spicy. The gnocchi was the best my partner had ever had and my Calzone was massive and very tasty. We are pleased we found out about this little... More

This place has had some good reviews and a friend told me to check it out. The service was faultless but the food was nothing special. Maybe if you we're wanting something other than Asian food for a change but the pasta I had was tasteless and a bit chewy. The prices here should reflect a meal that has lots... More
