Mmmmmm! Definitely one of the better pizza places in NYC. The menu is pretty diverse, and includes standard pizzas and more creative pizzas, as well. It's worth it to splurge for the buffalo mozzarella when offered, because that's some serious cheesy goodness!
Service was so-so - we ordered sangria that never turned up, and our waitress didn't come back to our table until she brought the pizzas, and by that time we didn't bother with it. Also, they brought my friend out the wrong pizza. They brought the correct one out fairly fast, but that was a little annoying. Still, the meal was so good that none of that put a damper on the experience.
(I went back again recently, and the service was still bunk! The waitresses were all hanging out with the host in the front of the restaurant staring out the window. I thought surely something crazy and fascinating was going on out on the streets, but no... just people walking down the sidewalk. I waited for 10 minutes for more water while my waitress stared out the window and talked to her friend. )
Good solid pizza. Every time I come in, I know it will be the exact same pizza as the last time, and that's a good thing! Margarita DOC. That's what you wanna try. When a place can knock that out of the park, you know it's good. Service can be a bit distant, but that's ok. I'm not really needing a lot when it comes to my pizza. Decent selection of wines too and not at crazy prices. Desserts can be hit or miss depending on what they're offering that day. Usually the special of the day is where it's at.
Living in Naples, Italy definitely sets the standard high for traditional wood burning oven pizzas. Fornino pays homage to the traditional style with three different generations of pizza on the menu. I always order the original "Margarita" pizza when I try a new location, I must say, Fornino did not disappoint. This restaurant gets 4stars in my book for excellent service, relatively short wait time, and great food. I definitely recommend.
