Il Forno a Legna

My wife and I went on a weekday so it wasn’t very busy but this is a nice little gem we have in the Valley! Wife ordered lamb chops and she gave it a 10 and I ordered the beef rib and I think I’d give it a 10 as well. Our appetizer was fried calamari which was slightly salty but we both said it was probably the best fried calamari we’ve had in the RGV.

What an amazing experience!! The food was awesome and the service was great!! Got the Italian sausage and mushroom pizza, and our daughter got the spaghetti and meatballs! The teas with flavor added was so delicious! We will come back!❤️

Il Forno is on 10th Street about a block south of Nolana. I went to eat there on two different occasions, once with a friend and then again with my family. For starters I really love the bread they serve here, it's focaccia I believe, and some of the best in town. Both salads were super fresh, my Gorgonzola wedge salad was presented nicely, and I loved the extra cubed gorgy that was added, as well as, the crispy pancetta. As for entrees my friend ordered the linguine with shrimp, and ended up with spaghetti instead of linguine.(see photo). If it was linguine it was overcooked and appeared like spaghetti. Also, I was surprised there were only 4 shrimp on the plate for $28. The norm is usually 6 to 8 and the fact that it was priced up there, and served only with spaghetti, my goodness! My other observation is, he ordered it Scampi as one of the options offered. Instead of the basic scampi sauce consisting of white wine, garlic butter, lemon, and parsley. He received more of a sauce used
