    This 3 star review is not a negative. This restaurant is a perfectly good restaurant in the theater district. It is a fine place to grab a casual bite before or after a performance . At a recent lunch, the beet salad was good. The pizza is really more of a flatbread. It was tasty, but you will be disappointed if you are craving a usual NY pizza. Several diners enjoyed their pasta orders. Waitstaff were pleasant and helpful.

    The food was not very good at all. The cesar salad dressing was off. The penne alla vodka was over cooked and tasted like sauce from a can. The chicken Marsala was tough and the risotto was barely edible. Stay away.

    Il Forno does not offer a truly authentic Italian experience, particularly in terms of the meals and wines. The red wines were problematic and I had to approach the waiter multiple times due to the unpleasant taste of the wines.
