“2012 New Years Eve Pizza”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 January 2012

These guys were under the pump on New years but they delivered on quality. We managed to get an inside table overlooking Palm Cove Beach, The service was great given the number of customers that were coming through. The Pizza- thin based, crispy crust, but a little too floppy when you pull the pizza wedge off the plate. ( The Oven door was like a revolving door, the oven temperature would have been suffering.) But the taste was fantastic, just the right amount of topping. Definitely worth stopping here for a pizza and drink during your stay at Palm Cove.

“Great pizza, a little more expensive”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 December 2011

The only reason why this doesn't get the full tick is because it was probably a little more expensive than I'd expected for a Vegetarian pizza. But you get what you pay for it was delicious!

“Best pizza in area”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 December 2011

Nice thin crust pizza's with fresh and tasty ingredients at a gourmet price. Basic seating take away available but we ate in and was not offered the opportunity to take away our leftover 1/2 of pizza.

Delicious authentic italian pizzas. A few others cafes were closed, so very happy to discover Il Forno. Convenient to order & take back to room, may eat in next visit

“Great Pizza but Expensive”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 December 2011

Being Canadians, we were surprised by the restaurant prices in Australia. We were tired of the chips, schnitzel and pumpkin soup offerings at most restuarants and decided on Pizza at II Forno. 4 adults we eached ordered 4 different very scrumptious pizzas. All fresh ingredients including rocket (arugula), olives, meats, veggies and great cheeses - your choice of toppings. Our only complaint was the price - $96 for 4 pizzas (which unfortunately is the norm). Forget the money issue when travelling - just enjoy!!
