nice little italian. Both pizzas and pasta are good, lunch tends to be crowded so probably a good idea to reserve

We had a special event to celebrate - our 50th wedding anniversary! - and decided on one of our favorite restaurants. They handled a party of 14 with elegance, professionalism and great care, with wonderful food and good wines. Thank you, friends, for a very...special evening.More

Arrived for a late lunch and told that we could have “pizza, lasagne ou salade”....which was ok given the time. This is neighborhood style dining - tables crammed in tight and old style decor. All the food was good - lasagne was rich and unctuous...with cheese. Pizzas very good. Nice Barolo to wash it down. CHF190 for 4 (wine was 85 of that)...More

Il Forno a Legna is the typical place to go to in the neighbourhood. It is not the "hot place in town" but it is the place where people living in the area are thrilled to go to. The neighbourhood best kept secret. It has...that flavour of ( and smell of) unpretentious family-run pizzeria that is genuinely good and comforting. I grew up surrounded by places like this one. The food is excellent, pastas and pizzas alike. The desserts are great. Try the Bufalina pizza ... The owner will always greet you with a smile and a joke. The decor is once again that of the typical pizzeria down in the street back home, a bit retro but rightly so. You can book and take pizzas away. If you eat there, the service is good although tables are very close one to the other. Supposedly it has a garden, despite having been there many times, I have never seen it.More

We went this past week to this authentic italian restaurant on a business lunch. The menu offer was comprehensive with Pugliese owner Antonio and wife. I had the special focaccia with rugula, sliced octopus and cherry tomatoes, accompannied by a soecial olive oil. The service...was kind and prompt. It is recommended to make reservations. We were reserved a very nice window table where we were able to eat and discuss our projects.More

We had a lousy experience in this restaurant. After being seated near the restaurant's entrance, we waited about 10 minutes to get the menu and another 15 just to order. Once the food arrived, we had a nice time, until my friend started coughing and...choking. we asked for some more water and the check. Meanwhile, the table next to us ordered and got another drink and we are ignored as my friend continues coughing. We had to wait a whole 10 minutes just for some water. disgraceful.More

We had lunch today with a business colleague visiting from Canada. We made a reservation and our table was ready. The staff and owners are very welcoming and friendly. We had not been in Forno de Legna for over a year and today our visit...made our day! We were very pleased with the friendly courteous service that has made this restaurant so popular among our friends and colleagues in the international organizations. The lunch time is busy, as the food is awesome and the menu of the day really worth it! We are looking forward to the orecchiette cime di rapa, a typical pasta from Puglia, Italy, where Antonio Salcuni the chef/owner is a native from. Today we tried carpaccio de manzo (beef) (amazing!!!) and penne carbonara (out of this world!!). The place was packed but the service was fast and friendly. We look forward to becoming regulars again!!! Always excellent wine options and suggestions!More
