Local Food Menu

Executive Chef Owen Steinberg

IL FORNELLO is the first Ontario restaurant chain to offer locally sourced menu items either as weekly specials or as highlights on our regular menu. When you "eat locally", you not only support our local economy and sustainable farming you also help the environment as well. The following are examples of items we have offered in the past.
