25 YEARS OF IL FORNO IN THE UAE

Over 25 years ago, IL Forno began its journey in the UAE with a passion for bringing authentic Italian flavors to the region. Inspired by traditional Italian cuisine, our founder born and raised in Lebanon set out to create a dining experience that celebrates rich flavors, fresh ingredients, and timeless recipes.

Our History

Founded in the UAE in 2000, IL Forno began as a small Italian kitchen and has grown into a well-loved dining destination across the country. Inspired by the warmth of Italian hospitality and the traditions of Tuscan cuisine, IL Forno has spent over two decades serving authentic flavors and creating memorable Italian dining experiences.

I had an excellent dining experience at IL Forno, Al Gahoud Center, Dubai. The food was absolutely delicious and of outstanding quality, and the service was impressive. A big thank you to Jessa for her warm attention and professionalism, which made the early dinner even more enjoyable. Highly recommended!

Amazing experience at Il Forno! Ordered the Lasagna di Mari - seafood was fresh and cooked perfectly. Il Forno Pizza was cheesy and delicious. Passion Mojito and Summer Blue Mojito were refreshing! Special shoutout to Youssef, our server, for excellent service and recommendations. Will definitely be back! 😊
