IL FORNO ITALIAN RESTAURANT – Italian
Lakeland has kept Il Forno busy for more than fifteen years, and chef-owner Mick Pugliese has a clear line on why: Italian food should be bold and satisfying without sitting heavy. That shows up in New York-style pizza, oven-baked calzones and stromboli, plus pasta, panini, sandwiches, rustic soups made in house and gourmet salads. Two rooms serve the city, north and south, both handling dine-in, takeout and private groups. Regulars treat it as the default answer to what's for dinner. Regional Italian cooking, unshowy and consistent.
