One of the best Italian food restaurants in Nicosia! Delicious pizza and delicious pasta! There may be some waiting time even if you have a reservation but that is only because it is usually full because they are amazing! 100% would recommend!

Il Forno is an authentic Italian restaurant that has quickly become my go-to spot for a truly memorable dining experience. Nestled in the heart of the city, this charming restaurant not only boasts a warm and inviting ambiance but also delivers some of the most mouthwatering pizzas and macaroni dishes you'll ever taste. Il Forno's pizzas are simply divine. The crust is thin, crispy, and perfectly charred, while the toppings are abundant and bursting with flavor. Whether you're a fan of classic margherita or adventurous combinations like prosciutto and arugula, their pizza menu has something for everyone. Each bite is a delightful explosion of taste that will leave you craving for more. But the magic doesn't stop there. Il Forno's macaroni dishes are equally exceptional. The pasta is cooked to perfection, al dente, and the sauces are rich, flavorful, and made with love. From the traditional spaghetti carbonara to the indulgent four-cheese gnocchi, every dish is a symphony of Italian flavors that will transport your taste buds to the enchanting streets of Rome. Whether you're looking for a romantic dinner date, a family gathering, or simply a place to enjoy a delicious meal with friends, Il Forno ticks all the boxes. The combination of delectable food, warm atmosphere, and impeccable service makes it a true gem among Italian restaurants.

Very busy place! You might need to wait for 10-15 mins to get the table. But once you get a seat, the service is quick. Affordable Italian food, I had a seafood pasta and the portion is way too much wasn’t able to finish it. If you are looking for some easy option to eat, this is the place!

Amazing food at great prices! The food is tasty, big and will fill you up. Staff is not the worst. I would easily say that this is the number 1 best Italian restaurant across the island. Also, great atmosphere with both Greek and Turkish people.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at this Italian restaurant, and it was an absolute delight! We were greeted with warm hospitality and impeccable service. The extensive menu offered a wide array of options, and I opted for one of their tantalizing white sauce pasta dishes. It was a tough choice with so many enticing options available, including both red and white sauces, as well as the opportunity to customize the type of pasta. The dish I chose exceeded all expectations—it was bursting with flavor and cooked to perfection. And let's not forget about their pizzas; just glancing at them made my mouth water! Although the prices were slightly higher by 1-2 euros compared to other places, the exceptional quality of the food and service made every cent worth it. I left the restaurant feeling fully satisfied and eager to return for another delightful culinary experience. Highly recommended to anyone craving authentic Italian cuisine served with a smile!
