Forno Kitchen + Bar

As always a great experience. Abbey M is the best server in Columbus HANDS DOWN. Attentive without being intrusive, and knowledgeable on every aspect of the menu. When we were debating about which pizza to get, she helpfully suggested we get half and half. Didn't even know that was an option but it was the perfect solution. Thank you for a great date night out with my wife!

We got a bit of everything for my wife and son. We came at happy hour and it was awesome! The price of everything was phenomenal, had great happy hour drinks. The pizza was on the happy hour and my son's food was great for the price and for him. Service was great and fast. The calamari is really good 👍 FYI

One of my favorite spots to frequent! I love finding any reason to go and just enjoy the atmosphere. The goal is to become a regular and try their brunch one day, you just can’t beat the happy hour though. Either way, I always enjoy my time and the service I receive when I’m there. Special thanks to Tim for being so knowledgeable of the menu, providing exceptional service and just being an amazing human. I can’t wait to go back!

Had a fun dinner in here with friends.. we celebrated our friends' Bachelorette dinner here and they gave us the most amazing experience in a private dine in room with nice ceilings and our waitress DANIELLE is amazing as well.. food is delicious, especially the calamari and wood fire pizzas. They gave us this starwberry shot for a little fun.. we'll recommend.

I will always recommend this place to someone! The food is fantastic! The staff is so amazing, the waitress i had was so sweet and she had great energy. It’s so beautiful on the inside. It’s such a romantic place too. A great date night spot.

Place is always a great stop for happy hour or just for drinks with friends. We had never had their food before, but they didn't disappoint. The seared jalapeno ahi tuna fried arancini app was so good!

This place was amazing. Bob our server was great. And the food was beyond expectations. Far far beyond. So delicious… I don’t even know how to describe it or put more emphasis. The food was spectacular. If you’re walking by, walk in and give it a go. You will not regret it.

Visited on a Sunday night with a reservation but probably didn’t need one. The wait staff was very kind and the atmosphere was definitely radiant and exciting. This is definitely a place for celebrations or to come out with your friends for a great meal. The food was definitely top notch as the pasta forno stole my family’s heart. We will definitely be visiting again and highly recommend others stop by as well! The pizza also looks to die for and hope to try it soon!

Found this place while walking around downtown Columbus. It was the only place with available patio seating on a beautiful day, so we quickly grabbed it. Great city view with amazing service. The cocktails looked as good as they tasted. The food was all so spectacular and flavorful. The sizes were perfect for the 3 of us. I would definitely come here again when in the area!

Our server, Josh, made our day perfect with his outstanding spot-on attentive
service. The food was outstanding. Josh was friendly and very tuned in to the needs of our group of 8. He brought to our attention interesting menu choices that we might not have considered had he not suggested them but he was never pushy. We went with his suggestions and were not sorry! Servers with his ability are rare, but they are what make going out to eat truly special. Thank you, Josh, for making a fabulous memorable lunch for our family.

Great birthday brunch in the private room! I had the chicken and waffles, shrimp and grits and some pizza! The music was great too just wish they had a speaker in the private room. Shoutout to our amazing server!

I visited Columbus from Cincinnati, so I say this without knowing much about Columbus. I actually ate at Forno twice in one day; I woke up craving shakshuka and headed to Forno for the eggs in purgatory. It was fantastic. The Bloody Mary was pretty classic, so if you like Bloody Marys, you’ll like theirs. The food was so good and the spot so nice that I went back that evening for pizza. Also very tasty. The staff were also great. Definitely recommend you give Forno a go!

We went here on a Monday night and it was surprisingly busy! Our group had different pizzas and salads. They were all delicious. The prosciutto was definitely a favorite. Service was awesome and the atmosphere was very modern and inviting. I would absolutely go back here.

Had a reservation room with family and friends for an event during brunch. The service was very good from our waitress and my Cajun shrimp and grits was delicious😮‍💨ate every bite.

Great food, super nice waiter. Atmosphere was modern and seating was comfortable. Has ADA friendly seating, however you have to Park about 3 blocks away. I believe there was Valet for another spot right on the corner you might be able to use. I was there on a Thursday night & there were a couple of very loud parties in the bar area, which is not enclosed away from the dining areas that surround it. So it was loud enough to make me have to shout to my dinner companion.

Excellent food, atmosphere and service. The pizza and drinks we ordered were excellent, came out at a decent time, and the women serving us was friendly and helpful. Would recommend coming here, especially during Happy Hour.

Went for happy hour. The cocktails were great - beautiful presentation and wonderful flavors. The food was equally good. If you like garlic, I highly recommend the Garlic Shrimp.

This place is really nice! The atmosphere is great. Their food is just as good as the restaurant looks. 4 cheese pizza was delicious as well as their burger.

I recently visited Forno during happy hour on a Monday and was impressed by the lively atmosphere and accommodating service. We decided to try the crispy garlic shrimp and calamari for appetizers, both dishes filled with flavour. The shrimp had a great burst of garlic flavour with a slight crunchy texture from the breadcrumbs. The calamari was perfectly cooked, not gummy and paired well with the two sauces: tomato and lemon aioli.

For the main course, we ordered the carne pizza, which was delicious. It was loaded with a variety of meat toppings and the crust was crispy, but not over cooked.

For drinks, we ordered a strawberry rose and spicy cucumber margarita. The strawberry rose had a refreshing sweetness with a subtle floral note, while the spicy had a refreshing kick to it.

Overall, it's a fantastic spot with delicious food packed with flavour and tasty drinks!

Delicious food, both the pizza and pasta were very tasty and neither was toooo expensive, we also loved the atmosphere and the design of the place. Very cute, would definitely recommend for a date night!
