Il Fornello

Rated this place:

Il Fornello (a Toronto-based chain with various locations) is a great modern Italian restaurant to bring anyone with wheat or gluten allergies as they offer gluten-free pizza and pasta! The food is absolutely delicious! In addition to their regular menu, Il Fornello also offers a fantastic seasonal Chef’s Ontario menu, which supports local farmers. I also enjoy coming here on the weekends for brunch where you can enjoy traditional breakfast fare such as Eggs Benedict and omelets. Or, if you are craving something sweet, indulge in a nice fluffy Belgian Waffle!

Italian Restaurant

Rated this place:

I really enjoy their lunch buffets because it's all the food you would have considered ordering but in copious amounts and greater variety. I love their herbed chicken and roasted potatoes. And their pastas have yet to disappoint.

Pizza

Rated this place:

The spelt pizza crust is high in protein and fiber – a much healthier option to white, refined flour pizza. Also – highly digestible grain for those that are wheat sensitive.

Il fornello on Queen's Quay offers one of the best lake views in the city. They have great food at an affordable price and the service is fantastic. At times the restaurant can get a little busy and overcrowded, but it is still a romantic spot with great food.

Gluten free pasta

Rated this place:

My mom is a celiac and she comes to visit me in Toronto often and she has never had comparable rice pasta at a restaurant, Il fornello is a treat for her!!! If you like pasta and you can't eat gluten it is a good choice.

Pizza

Rated this place:

It features two of my favourite things in a pizza; thin crust and not a lot of sauce. My favourite is the one with warm prosciutto, honey figs, mascarpone, shaved grana padano and lemon dressed arugula.
